Overview
Please be aware the MS900 is a very intense fast paced course due to the volume of content to be delivered in a single day. The event may extend beyond a 5:30 finish. Delegates wanting the MS900 course with a less intense delivery and more opportunity for discussions, demos and explanations of topics should consider the QA Microsoft 365 Fundamentals - Deeper Dive 2 day event.
Please note as with any Microsoft Official Course this is not an exam prep event and additional self study will be required to guarantee an exam pass.
