We’ll also be highlighting the tools and resources you need to build your technical skills, expertise, and much more. Read the blog.??

Hello Microsoft Learn I am right now learning Microsoft Cybersecurity certification on Coursera and the course is really great. May I know if there is any hands on lab or any CTF provided by Microsoft for those people who are in Cyber security industry.

I love and enjoy learning and growing my career with Microsoft Learn. One kind request I have is that you consider and offer support for learners in matters of exams. I have been struggling so much to schedule my certification exam online with your exam partner. I hope this can get better.
