Build advanced technical knowledge and meet competency requirements with self paced Microsoft Official Courses and Labs Online

Preparing our partner IT pros and developers to meet the business needs of customers through the latest technologies is a top priority for Microsoft. We recently introduced a new training benefit for Microsoft Partner Network members, Microsoft Labs Online, which lets you purchase digital courseware and labs at an exclusive MPN price.  These may be used by your technical teams to study at their own pace while building advanced technical knowledge and skills. Microsoft Partner Network members can also connect with a Learning Partner for additional support resources and services.

With more than 175 courses available, I thought it would be helpful to feature the courses that partners are purchasing most frequently today to help you get started. For each, I have also provided you with information about the exam that the course aligns to. These courses are level 200–300, and the content in several of them was previously available primarily through our popular in-person “Ignite” training courses.
