dwilliams5200 Hello -- thanks for your question! Currently there is not a replacement course that we can announce. But great net new courses in the new year will be coming your way to support upcoming course retirements. As per the blog that was shared, it does make a few small callouts regarding that this course needs to be updated to be aligned with the current job role expectations. Also, calling out that they are investing in new exams, certs and training to meet the needs of today's workplace. Once there is more information to share, we certainly will. I apologize for any inconvenience to future planning of course deliveries this may cause. But MS-203 will be available till end of year, and the team is hoping to have information and support out providing you with what's to come. Thank you -MindyRe: NEW: MS-203 Retirement Update
baumaille Hello -- thank you for your feedback! This post was intended to update fellow TSP's about the retirement extension of this course for the end of the year, but I understand wanting to know a replacement course to support your Learners. On the TSP Community Calls, including the calls today, MS-203 has been discussed regarding retirement, and that net new courses are coming your way in the new year, to support upcoming retirements! Once we are able to share the courses, I will certainly do so. But I will ensure in future posts to callout what information I do have regarding a replacement course, or if a course retiring will not have one. Please also check out Microsoft Ignite happening in mid-November, for some great information on what's to come. As well as this blog post: Microsoft Learn: Updates to our training and certification portfolio - Microsoft Community Hub Thank you! -MindyNEW: MS-203 Retirement Update
The new retirement date for MS-203: Microsoft 365 Messaging will now be December 29th, 2023. We understand that the initial retirement date did not support future scheduled deliveries of this course, and we always strive to provide course retirements in a timely manner to allow for appropriate planning. Please continue to reach out with any questions you may have. Thank you!SolvedRe: MS-600: Labs Broken, no responses to Github posts
Jarka_Vystvavelova There will be a full lab update coming tomorrow for this course. This update removes the labs in learning paths 1 and 2. As you've mentioned, the team similarly determined that fixing these would require more extensive code changes/rewrites that we aren't able to do currently, given the retirement of this course on 12/31/23 It also includes updates to the labs in learning path 4, and they are working on additional testing of these, to get deliveries through till retirement. In the meantime, for this delivery, there are screencast demos of the labs linked in the learning paths on Learn, in the Intro units. Here is the video for LP1: https://youtu.be/3VgHZtjFSPk?si=8w-NhABzjo1rF9Dk Thank you! Hope this all helps.Re: MS-600: Labs Broken, no responses to Github posts
Jarka_Vystvavelova Thank you for sharing such detailed and precise feedback. I am sharing this right now to the teams to support this. I truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused for you and the experiences of your Learners. We will get this resolved. I have personally messaged you with my email as well. Thank youRe: Duration Change for PL-200, MB-700 & MB-800
KTCS-Learning Hi! Of course. I can atleast get you a copy of one from a course. 🙂 I have messaged you with my email address. Please reach out to me on there! (Also just reiterate what you are looking for to spark my memory just so I can ensure I get you the support you need!) thank you.Re: Duration Change for PL-200, MB-700 & MB-800
Suridup Hello -- thank you for your questions! The slide I shared outlines exactly what an Applied Workshop is. It is not a "lab" Please see highlighted in yellow, below. This is an extra day of practice, for the Learner to apply the skills they have learned during the course delivery. Also, there are trainer prep materials available on the Learning Download Center. It explains exactly what that specific course Applied Workshop covers, how to prep, prepare and deliver the additional day. (This was shared in the last two Partner Community Calls should you want to check the recordings/decks from those calls) Thank you!Re: MD-102 missing content from MD100
Mario_Fuchs I understand what you're saying regarding the new content of MD-102. The decision for MD-102 and the retirement of 100 and 101 is the current job role expectations and what content is currently needed to support that. Please see the support blog that was posted regarding this decision: Evolving Microsoft 365 certifications help keep you in sync with the new era of work - Microsoft Community Hub I have shared your feedback about MD-102 with the content owner as well.
