How to transfer certification and learning progress from my professional account to my personal account?

João Deusdado 0 Reputation points

I have created an account using my professional email, and on this account I have registered my learning progress and the certifications. I want to transfer this information to my personal account registered with my gmail, in order to safeguard all learning and training info, progress and certification.

I have transfered all my data on the "Definitions" tab, but this is json file with all that information, I don't know how I can import this data to my personal account.

Note: there is no method for importing the JSON

    Transferring Microsoft Learn certifications and learning progress between accounts is done by connecting the accounts in the Learn profile, not by exporting/importing JSON.

    To move data from a professional (work/school) account to a personal account:

    1. Sign in to Microsoft Learn with the profile that currently holds the certifications and learning progress (professional account).
    2. Go to profile Settings (select the profile icon in the top-right corner → Settings).
    3. Under Account Management, select Add login account.
    4. Sign in with the personal Microsoft account that should receive and retain the data.
    5. If that personal login is associated with a different Learn profile, this will trigger a profile merge:
      • All learning progress, credentials, and transcripts from both profiles are merged into a single profile.
      • All login accounts from both profiles can still be used to sign in.
      • Merging cannot be undone.

    Key points:

    • Only one personal Microsoft account can be associated with a Learn profile.
    • A Learn profile created with a work or school account should add a personal Microsoft account to ensure long‑term access to learning history and credentials.
    • Exported JSON from the “Definitions” or similar tabs is not used to import or move Learn progress between accounts; the supported method is adding the other login account and letting the service merge profiles.

    If there are multiple existing Learn profiles and a direct merge between the two personal/professional accounts is not possible, a bridge profile (for example, a work/school profile) can sometimes be used as an intermediate step, as described in the referenced Q&A, but this still relies on the Add login account and profile merge behavior, not on JSON import.
