Connect your career goal to a suitable Microsoft learning pathway.
STEP 01
Begin with the work you want to do
Cloud administration, endpoint management, workplace administration and security operations involve different responsibilities. Choose a role first, then use certification study to support practical capability.
STEP 02
Review the current programme
Use the full syllabus link in the programme catalogue to review the campus course. Confirm current exam names, codes, prerequisites and retirement dates with the official certification provider before paying for an exam.
STEP 03
Separate training from certification
Ask whether course fees include an exam voucher, whether a campus certificate is separate from a vendor certification, and which practical work is assessed. Record these details before registering.
STEP 04
Measure practical progress
Keep a skills checklist and perform tasks without following step-by-step instructions. Use practice questions to identify weak areas, then return to the lab to strengthen your understanding.
