Microsoft Learning Product Types


Fact: Describe the different kinds of Microsoft Learning products.
Microsoft Learning product types
Microsoft Learning offers four instructor-led Official Microsoft Learning Product types. Each type is
specific to a particular audience and level of experience. The various product types also tend to suit
different learning styles. These types are as follows:
Courses are for information technology (IT) professionals and developers who are new to a particular
product or technology and for experienced individuals who prefer to learn in a traditional classroom
format. Courses provide a relevant and guided learning experience that combines lecture and practice
to deliver thorough coverage of a Microsoft product or technology. Courses are designed to address
the needs of learners engaged in the planning, design, implementation, management, and support
phases of the technology adoption lifecycle. They provide detailed information by focusing on
concepts and principles, reference content, and in-depth, hands-on lab activities to ensure knowledge
transfer. Typically, the content of a course is broad, addressing a wide range of tasks necessary for the
job role.
Workshops are for knowledgeable IT professionals and developers who learn best by doing and

exploring. Workshops provide a hands-on learning experience in which participants can use Microsoft
products in a safe and collaborative environment based on real-world scenarios. Workshops are the
learning products in which students learn by doing through scenario and through troubleshooting
hands-on labs, targeted reviews, information resources, and best practices, with instructor facilitation.

Clinics are for IT professionals, developers, and technical decision makers. Clinics offer a detailed
presentation that may describe the features and functionality of an existing or new Microsoft product
or technology, provide guidelines and best practices for decision making, and/or showcase product
demonstrations and solutions. Clinics focus on how specific features will solve business problems.
Stand-alone Hands-On Labs provide IT professionals and developers with hands-on experience with
an existing or new Microsoft product or technology. Hands-on labs provide a realistic and safe
environment to encourage knowledge transfer by learning through doing. The labs provided are
completely prescriptive so that no lab answer keys are required. There is very little lecture or text
content provided in hands-on labs, aside from lab introductions, context setting, and lab reviews.

Acquiring the skills tested by an MCP exam
Official Microsoft Learning Products can help you develop the skills that you need to do your job.
They also complement the experience that you gain while working with Microsoft products and
technologies. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between Official Microsoft Learning
Products and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intend for the courses to be the sole
preparation method for passing MCP exams. Practical product knowledge and experience is also
necessary to pass MCP exams.
To help prepare for MCP exams, use the preparation guides that are available for each exam. Each
Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific information, such as a list of the topics on which you
will be tested. These guides are available on the Microsoft Learning Web site at
