New Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 training: April 2021 roundup

[MargoCrandall-MSFT]

Our training and certification portfolio continues to evolve, and we invite you to discover the power of Microsoft technology to open new career possibilities. Here are the new learning paths and modules that we released last month on Microsoft Learn. Look for ways to build and deepen your skills, and then validate them by earning a Microsoft Certification. This month, we have a new learning path (with 12 modules) for Microsoft Power Platform solution architects. Check out our other new Microsoft Power Platform and Power Automate modules, plus a new Industry Solutions module. In addition, we’ve got new Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection, Project Operations, and Human Resources modules. Work through these and other modules at your own pace. Use free, online training on Microsoft Learn, to explore new skills to use on the job or to take your career in a new direction. If you need help figuring out which training to take, check out the Dynamics 365 learning paths page and the Microsoft Power Platform learning paths page, where you’ll find useful collections, learning paths to get you started, and popular modules. We’ve also added product-specific landing pages, listed at the end of this post.

We’re removing older, retired courses from the Dynamics Learning Portal on October 15, 2021, as a result of the significant reduction in the number of downloads of these e-learning courses. If you want to keep any of these courses for your own use, be sure to download them before that date.
