Résumé du MCT Town Hall de Septembre 2019

Bonjour la communauté MCT,


Jeudi dernier, deux sessions du MCT Town Hall ont été organisé par l'équipe du programme MCT. Si vous les avez raté voici, en attendant la mise en ligne de la rediffusion, ce que j'ai retenu. (click here for the English version)

Business Application Portfolio

Un nouveau portfolio de formations/certifications basé sur les rôles est disponible. Intitulé "Business Applications", il concerne, bien sûr, les technologies Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Du côté des MOC

Au programme, de nouveaux cours, des mises à jour mais aussi la consolidation de certains cours par exemple les cours MD-100T01, MD-100T02, MD-100T03 et MD-100T04 fusionnent dans le cours MD-100T00. Par contre, rien de nouveau pour les cours Windows Server 2019 si ce n'est que l'équipe vas leurs accorder toutes son attention.

Vidéos TTT

L'équipe MSL a réalisé un pilote TTT (Train The Trainer) donc une série de vidéos pour aider les formateurs à se préparer. Le pilote a été réalisé pour les cours Azure Data Engineer (DP-200 et DP-201) et est accessible sur le site LearningDownload Center. L'équipe MSL souhaiterait qu'un max de MCT visionnent les vidéos (même si ce n'est pas leur domaine de compétence), donnent leurs avis et participes au l'une des deux sessions Q&A Option1: October 8th, 0800 PDT (1500 UTC)  et Option2: October 8th, 1900 PDT (October 3rd, 0200 UTC) .
