Microsoft Learning has published some interesting information for SharePoint IT Pros interested in the SharePoint 2016 IT Pro Certification. They have released information about Course 20339-1: Planning and Administering SharePoint 2016 as well as Course 20339-2: Advanced Technologies of SharePoint 2016 . The courses are set to be released on July 8 and 21, 2016.
This should give us a good idea of what the exam names will be as well as what will be tested in each exam. If we look at what each exam covers

I was curious to see what students will learn in this courses, especially for Hybrid and I was a bit let down as the Hybrid Module only seems to cover outbound search & OneDrive for Business, but not the new Hybrid Search, or Hybrid BCS and other Hybrid features.
Module 2: Introduction to hybrid scenarios for SharePoint 2016
This module describes the key hybrid features in SharePoint 2016, and the various hybrid options available in SharePoint 2016. This module helps you understand how to configure a solution that uses an outbound search topology.
Lessons
- Exploring the hybrid features in SharePoint 2016
- Hybrid architectures in SharePoint 2016
- Configuring a one-way hybrid search, and configuring OneDrive for Business
Lab : Configuring a Microsoft Office 365 tenant
- Configuring an Office 365 tenant
Lab : Configuring one-way hybrid search and configuring OneDrive for Business
- Configuring an outbound search topology
After completing this module, students will be able to:
- Describe the key hybrid features in SharePoint 2016.
- Describe the various hybrid options available in SharePoint 2016.
- Configure a solution that uses an outbound search topology.
What I found strange is the numbers of the exams. If we look in the past, exam 70-331 (SharePoint 2013 Core Solutions) had course number 20331 while 70-332 (Advanced SharePoint 2013 Solutions) had course 20332. The numbers for the new SharePoint 2016 courses are 20339-1 and 20339-2, which would indicate they apply to the same exam, but I think they just didn’t finalized the exam names yet, so expect the course numbers to change in the future.
