Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Certifications in Australia

Microsoft 365 and Office 365 certification courses teach cloud productivity, Teams, Outlook, collaboration, and administration skills for modern workplaces, business performance, and daily success.

Microsoft 365 sits at the centre of how Australian organisations work, which is why Microsoft 365 certifications are in steady demand across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and beyond. Logitrain delivers instructor led Microsoft 365 courses for the people who deploy, secure and administer the platform every day, from help desk and desktop support staff through to systems administrators and IT managers. Our training is hands on and built around live Microsoft environments, so you practise the real tasks you will perform at work rather than only reading about them. Each course is mapped to a current Microsoft 365 certification exam, so the skills you gain line up with the credential employers ask for and the responsibilities of the role you are aiming at.

Microsoft 365 Certification Pathway

Microsoft 365 certifications are organised by role, and the scheme was refreshed when Microsoft retired the older Modern Desktop Administrator and Enterprise Administrator exams. Here are the current certifications and how they fit together.

Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator (MD-102)

MD-102 is the associate certification for managing Windows devices and endpoints across an organisation, covering deployment, updates, policies and security. It replaced the older Modern Desktop Administrator certification, and it suits desktop support and device management staff. See the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator course.

Microsoft 365 Administrator (MS-102)

MS-102 is the expert certification for deploying and managing a Microsoft 365 tenant, covering identity, security, compliance and the core services. It replaced the older Enterprise Administrator Expert certification, and it suits administrators responsible for running Microsoft 365 across a business. See the MS-102 Administrator course. If your role centres on Microsoft Teams, ask us about the Teams Administrator certification as well.

Microsoft 365 Courses Online and Across Australia

You can study Microsoft 365 with Logitrain in the classroom in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, live online in real time from anywhere in Australia, or in house at your workplace. Live online students join the same class as the room and work through the hands on exercises in real time, rather than watching a recording. Classes run full time over a few days, or part time across a few weeks, so you can train around your job. Whichever way you choose, the trainer, the material and the official exam are the same.

Which Microsoft 365 Certification Should You Start With

If you are new to Microsoft 365, start with the MS-900 Fundamentals certification, since it needs no prior experience and gives you the language for everything else. If your job involves managing Windows devices, the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator is the practical next step, and if you run a Microsoft 365 tenant, the MS-102 Administrator is the one most employers ask for. If you are not sure which fits, tell our team what you do now and we will point you to the right starting course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Office 365 the same as Microsoft 365?

Yes. Office 365 was renamed Microsoft 365 in 2020, so they refer to the same platform. Many job ads still say Office 365, but Microsoft’s current certifications all use the Microsoft 365 name, and our courses cover the platform as it is today.

Which Microsoft 365 certification should I start with?

If you are new to the platform, start with the MS-900 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals certification, which assumes no prior experience. If you manage devices, the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator is the next step, and if you run a Microsoft 365 tenant, the MS-102 Administrator is the one employers ask for most.

What replaced the Modern Desktop Administrator and Enterprise Administrator certifications?

Microsoft retired those certifications and replaced them with role based ones. The Modern Desktop Administrator became the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator, and the Enterprise Administrator Expert became the MS-102 Microsoft 365 Administrator. We train the current certifications.

Is the exam included in the course price?

Most of our Microsoft 365 certification courses include the official exam in the price, and you can sit it at our own authorised test centre rather than arranging it separately. Ask us about the specific course, since inclusions can vary.

Do I need experience to start a Microsoft 365 course?

No. The MS-900 Fundamentals course is designed for beginners and assumes no technical background. The administrator certifications suit people who already work with Microsoft 365 or IT.

Can I do Microsoft 365 training online?

Yes. Every Microsoft 365 course we run is available live online in real time, so you can join from anywhere in Australia and take part in the same class as the room.

Where can I do Microsoft 365 training in person?

We run classroom Microsoft 365 courses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. If you are in Adelaide, Perth, Canberra or a regional area, you can join the same courses live online, or ask us about in house training.
