Hi there,
We are a class of students following the IOT prep paths for Exam AZ-220 mentined on the first row above and it disapeared gradually the last 24 hour.

What happened? Our grades are supposed to be based on the progress in the tutorial paths connected to this and they ar now gone. We have worked for 1 week and has to 12/17/2021 to finnish as much as we could and report our progress to school for grades.
Is there a new Cert prep that have similar content?

Please advice on how to proceed!
Best regards

Are you referring to the study guide by Paul DeCarlo? I still see it live in the link provided https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/internet-of-things-blog/az-220-iot-developer-certification-st...

Thanks for the tip!
That's a different layout!
Could you or someone provide the 5 old paths content list that was on the page at the bottom so we could find the proper matching?

You should ask Paul DeCarlo directly in his post, he'll be able to guide you, since he created the guide.

Thanks!

@SandraMarin I think the issue is that the MS Learning Paths on the AZ-220 Exam Page are grayed out ands are not listed anymore
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-220?tab=tab-learning-paths

[#8]

@SandraMarin The 4 Learning Paths that were linked on the exam page no longer exist on Learn. I suspect they have been replaced. The exam and certification pages need to be updated
I will try and figure out which learning paths have replaced them

@JulianSharp, @SandraMarin
I tried to reach out to @pdecarlo with a message but he is not online and have not responded yet. We are grateful for all the help we can get

I think there are 10 learning paths that are relevant to the AZ-220 exam

The AZ-220 exam has changed a fair bit since Paul wrote his post, for example digital twins and a bigger focus on IoT Edge and security

@Julian Sharp
Thank you for your support on this matter!
Best regards

I have made a collection of the learning paths https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/users/julians/collections/n5p4az8005jww4

@Julian Sharp @Preform Now I understand the issue. Apologies, I didn't realize what the problem was. I'll make sure the exam and certification pages are updated as soon as possible.

The exam and certification pages have been updated with the learning paths
