>"Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Administrator Associate"

> Does that have to do with Microsoft Teams? The description talks about "Office 365."

This part seems fairly clear to me. Teams is a product inside of the Office 365 family of products. So that certification would be for someone that wants to be an administrator for Teams.

That being said, I do agree with some of your points: like "Administrator Associate" is a bit confusing. Administrators are typically farther along than associates I would think. Office 365 is for the productivity apps (including Teams), and then Microsoft 365 is for Win 10 + Office 365 + Security things... could get confusing quick.

I just never heard "associate" used in reference to a title on anything related to informatics.

What about the “associate” in the entry-level CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)?

AWS also calls their 2nd level certification „Associate“ [1].

Citrix also called (calls?) their first tier cert "associates". Citrix Certified Associate, going up to Profesional, and Expert.
