Had a frustrating day trying to navigate the Microsoft Learn platform. The Learn platform has information which can be partitioned in several ways – by product, by role and by certification. You can then use the drop-down boxes to the left of the screen to further filter the results. My first issue came with not really understanding the levels for Microsoft versus the NQF levels I used previously, many of the exams and certifications call for experience with the topic in question, so they were unsuitable.

A quick check of the other modules in that learning path confirm that it is relevant, so I take notes, for example, it is beginner level, it concerns Microsoft 365 and Security Engineer role. The module is also included in  path, so it could still be applicable as part of a follow on course, and is part of the preparation for the MS-...
