Microsoft has recently introduced a new initiative for university students to access free Microsoft Dynamics 365 online training courses via the Microsoft Dynamics Learning Portal (DLP).

Do you know any university students who are considering careers in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 sector? Or are you a student yourself, who would benefit from free access to Microsoft Dynamics 365 training?

How does Microsoft Dynamics 365 training benefit students?

The answer is simple: the Microsoft Dynamics 365 job market is booming. There is a shortage of skilled Microsoft Dynamics 365 consultants across all products and functions. This means that Dynamics 365 consultants at all levels of experience are in high demand.

The Dynamics 365 market offers amazing long-term career prospects, whether you wish to become a permanent employee, work independently, or even build your own company! If you have an interest in IT, business intelligence, project management, finance, or even software sales – being trained in Microsoft Dynamics 365 will be a huge asset for you.

What is the Microsoft Dynamics Learning Portal (DLP)?

The DLP is Microsoft’s official training platform for Dynamics 365. Its purpose is to allow Dynamics 365 consultants to update their existing skills, or to gain new ones.

This learning opportunity allows students to get their hands on amazing Microsoft Dynamics 365 training material!

Here are some of the main benefits you can get from DLP as a university student:
– Free Microsoft Dynamics 365 training: learn at your own pace with specialised Dynamics 365 online courses. The courses’ levels range from beginner to expert.
– Role-based learning plans: if you’re not sure what courses to take, pre-set learning plans will guide you based on the role(s) in which you’re interested.
– Exam preparation guides: if you like what you’re learning, prepare for your first Dynamics certification and test your knowledge before the exam!
