Hands on Labs
During the course students be provided with their own 30 day commercial Microsoft 365 tenancy for optional hands on labs. The labs will populate the 365 environment with data then students implement the Purview solutions learnt through the course. Labs are optional and written so students can choose which labs they want to complete.
Note due to latency of Microsoft Purview services some labs can take several hours or more to complete – all labs may not be complete at the end of the course - students have 30 days access to their Microsoft 365 tenant which is more than enough time to complete any exercises.
