Still no statement about...

Hi Training Services Partner team,

 

I havent seen any answer about my previous questions regarding:

 

  • Is the Modern Workflow Portfolio dead? (No new Courses, Exchange (MS203) retired, SharePoint (MS040) retired) - It was promised the content owners give us a statement.
  • When will the ALH Labs be updated to current software (WS2022 and Win11 instead of EOL Software Win10 and WS2019)? - It was promised the update will happen 6 months ago.

Or have I missed the news on that topics?

Regards,

Mario

    Please reach out to your ALH regarding any questions or concerns with labs.

     

    For the Modern Work portfolio -- please refer to this Microsoft Learn post: Skill up on Modern Work: What you may have missed in 2023… - Microsoft Community Hub

     

    This is the original messaging that went for the retirement of MS-203: Microsoft Learn: Updates to our training and certification portfolio - Microsoft Community Hub

     

    Also, this is a wonderful section on the Tech community to follow for Microsoft Learn news, where the above articles have been posted to: Microsoft Learn Blog - Microsoft Community Hub

     

    Furthermore, I have synced with the content portfolio manager for Modern Work, and they will be on the next Partner community call with more insight into the Modern Work portfolio, and what else is to come. I know the retirement of MS-203 with no replacement has been difficult for Partners and Learners, I have shared all feedback to the appropriate Content teams. Please let me know what other information/support I can provide.

     

    Thank you!

      Hi Mindy,

      thank you for the feedback. Here are some questions we would like to be answered by the modern work content manager:

      - What is the roadmap for the Modern Work Portfolio?
      - How (which courses) to deliver Exchange Online Training?
      - Same question or SharePoint and Onedrive
      - Same question for SQL Server Courses
      - Maybe a roadmap for power automate, apps and copilot studio.

      How can partners, training centers get m365 copilot training licenses. Is there anything planned?
      Looking forward the next meeting.
      Regards,
      Mario

        Thank you! I have shared those questions with the content portfolio manager. They will be sharing on next week's Community Call the roadmap for the Modern Work portfolio, and also regarding the retirement of courses as well.

         

        See you next week on the call. Have a great week!
