In addition to all the MOC, we have an entire Microsoft 365 Technical Mastering curriculum of unique QA Authored courses not available anywhere else, focusing on mastering the technology.
- Real-world: Suitable for those who want to know the products in more detail from a real-world perspective.
- Additional areas: We offer technical training on all core Microsoft 365 products – plus areas not covered in MOC, such as Intune, Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft 365 Adoption and Governance.
- Up to date: QA’s courses are generally updated every 8 weeks (much more frequently than MOC) to reflect the latest changes in Microsoft 365 and Office 365, and instructors will have the most up-to-date information for learners.
- Detailed: QA-authored courses offer much more detail in both content and hands-on labs, during class and continued after the course ends.
- These course codes all start with QA.
Will the QA Authored courses be enough for you to pass the exam?
No, our courses are written for learners who want real-world knowledge on the latest technologies, and will provide information that is not in the exam.
Adoption, Security and Governance
Exchange
Power Apps and Power Automate
Microsoft Official Courses (MOC)
The MOC curriculum is primarily focused on certification exams, and QA offers the full range of MOC courses and certificates. These courses do not necessarily focus on delivering detailed real-world information, including best practice and “gotchas”.
Will the Microsoft Official Courses guarantee you a pass in the exam?
No, Microsoft intentionally put questions in the exam that are not in the course as they expect delegates to have hands-on experience and do further self-study after the event.
