Where teams start
Most Popular Microsoft 365 Certifications
Teams typically assign MS-900 first so help desk staff and new admins share a Microsoft 365 baseline, then move admins to MS-102 or MS-700. Copilot rollouts often start with AB-730 or AI Essentials with Microsoft Copilot for staff.
MS-900
Put Microsoft 365’s cloud productivity tools to work with the shared vocabulary the MS-900 objectives set out. Microsoft retired that exam on 31 March 2026, so the course is assigned today for the fluency itself. This course is designed for business professionals, career changers, new admins, and anyone else who works with Microsoft 365. You’ll learn how to use cloud productivity tools to make work faster, easier and more efficient. Understand how to Integrate Microsoft Copilot AI into your workflows, and take advantage of Microsoft project management software. This course emphasizes practical job-ready skills, so you’ll be able to confidently explain and use Microsoft 365 solutions right away.

Microsoft SC-900
Cloud adoption spreads security, identity, and compliance work across help desk staff, sysadmins, and compliance stakeholders who often lack a shared vocabulary. When terms like Zero Trust, least privilege, and the shared responsibility model mean different things to different people, risk discussions stall and audit conversations take longer than they should. This entry-level SC-900 course gives IT Directors and Training Managers a single baseline to assign across the team. Learners cover Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) identity concepts, authentication and self-service password reset, Microsoft Defender threat protection, Intune endpoint security, and Microsoft Purview capabilities such as sensitivity labels, DLP, eDiscovery, audit, data lifecycle management, and insider risk. The course stays conceptual, with walkthroughs in Azure, Microsoft 365, Intune, and Purview, so new hires, help desk technicians, and non-technical risk stakeholders can all take part. After completion, your team can explain Microsoft security terminology to technical and non-technical audiences, identify which Microsoft tool fits a given identity, threat, or compliance use case, and route questions to the right platform capability or specialist team. The course also provides a structured review of the fundamentals covered by the SC-900 certification exam. At about 21.7 hours across 25 skills, the course fits an onboarding cohort or a team certification push. Team Leads can bundle it into Playlists, and Training Managers can track per-learner progress and completion with Team Reporting before moving the team on to role-based Microsoft security training.

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft 365 training
Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Microsoft 365 training for their team.
Which roles and experience levels do the Microsoft 365 courses serve?
The 22 courses range from end-user training on Outlook, Teams, Excel, and Copilot through fundamentals (MS-900, SC-900, AB-900), associate-level administration (MS-203, MS-700, MS-721, SC-200, SC-300, SC-400), and expert-level work (MS-102, SC-100). An IT Director can assign business staff, help desk technicians, Microsoft 365 admins, collaboration engineers, security analysts, and architects from one catalog.
Which Microsoft certifications do these courses prepare a team for?
Courses prepare learners for MS-900, MS-102, MS-203, MS-700, MS-721, AB-900, AB-730, AB-731, SC-900, SC-200, SC-300, SC-400, SC-100, and MO-210. Microsoft issues the certification; CBT Nuggets prepares the learner for the exam. The MS-500 course also covers Microsoft 365 security administration skills such as authentication, threat protection, and DLP.
How should a Training Manager sequence a Microsoft 365 team path?
A common sequence starts with MS-900 for a shared baseline, then MS-102 for senior administrators, MS-203 for messaging owners, and MS-700 or MS-721 for the people who run Teams and Teams Phone. Security staff typically move from SC-900 into SC-300, SC-400, or SC-200, with senior architects progressing to SC-100.
How do these courses support a Copilot rollout?
End users can take AI Essentials with Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Copilot for M365 End Users, or AB-730 to build a consistent prompting and responsible-use baseline. AB-900 gives admins and help desk staff the licensing, settings, and Purview governance foundation, and AB-731 prepares IT Directors and Team Leads to plan AI adoption and governance.
How much time should we plan per learner, and is there hands-on practice?
Time varies by course; for example, MS-203 runs about 4 hours across five skills, so Team Leads can assign it in parallel with daily duties. The platform pairs on-demand video training with virtual labs, practice exams, and pre- and post-assessments, though specific lab and practice exam availability varies by course.
How do we track team progress for onboarding and compliance?
Team reporting shows per-learner progress and completion, cohort and group views, and completion exports that can serve as audit evidence. Teams often use Microsoft 365 for End Users and MS-900 for onboarding, and Purview-focused courses such as SC-400, MS-102, and MS-700 to build compliance and data governance capability.
