As a Distributor (CSP indirect Provider) I have recommended "Exam MS-900: Microsoft 365 Fundamentals" to countless resellers.
This is a good introduction for persons joining the IT business (Or experienced persons needing a refresh).
It is also a good intro to Microsoft Learn (Short and "easy").
Since Microsoft 365 is not gone (yet), I don't understand this retirement - When there is no good/clear replacement...
Microsoft 365 will still for some years be the major revenue contributor (Before AI take over completely).

I agree! MS-900 touched base on a range of useful topics and concepts. Most if not all, are still very relevant in today's business world. I'm assuming the replacement Ai Cert will include the topics of MS-900 + added Ai elements to it. Otherwise, doesn't make sense to retire it so early without a baseline replacement.
