Missing information on learning paths for certifications #1862

Open tristanlbailey opened 5 years ago

tristanlbailey commented 5 years ago

I would like to study for the Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate certification. However, there is nothing to tell me which learning path(s) I need to study, in order to prepare for certification exams.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/modern-desktop.aspx

Under the "Prepare for Certification" header, the "Start learning" link just points to the general browse query for the Microsoft Learn website, without specifying any search parameters.

This does not seem to be limited to this particular certification, as I have briefly looked at many other certifications, and only came across a few that actually had a learning path given in the link.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/browse-all-certifications.aspx?certificationtype=role-based

I briefly looked at the "Microsoft 365 - Modernize your enterprise deployment with Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus" learning path, which seems to be the most relevant learning path. My concern is that the description of the learning path indicates that the learning path takes only 3 hours and 17 minutes of study. Compare that with the "Microsoft 365 Fundamentals" learning path, which takes 3 hours and 42 minutes according to the description.

So, either one of these estimates is wrong, or there's more to this than meets the eye. Surely there is more to study with an MSCA equivalent certification.

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask about this. Given that my experience with Microsoft has not been good very so far, if this is not the correct place to post about this, please - for the love of god - forward it to the correct department, and then ask for them to reply here, so that I know if the issue is being fixed. There are people out there who are trying to achieve Microsoft certifications, and I am one.

Thank you.

I think a lot of the Microsoft 365 content is new and in progress. I was getting errors on the Certifications menu and 10 minutes later it started working.

I understand that most of it is fairly new, but if they are going to advertise exams and a certification for a particular course (such as the one one I'm interested in), then they need to make the learning materials for the course available to the public, too. With plenty of certifications that are supposedly now retired, Microsoft needs to lift its game.
