This flexible training prepares you for:

• Exam: «SC-100: Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect» for the
• Certification: «Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert»

The «flexible» live virtual course is scheduled over a period of 3-4 weeks. During this time, 6-8 instructor-led sessions of 3.5 hours each take place, i.e., the instructor supervises the participants live. All live sessions of a course will take place in the morning from 8:30 am - 12:00pm (CET) or afternoon from 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm (CET). This time is indicated on the respective course as a total of 1-5 days. 

By clicking on «Timetable» when enrolling, you can already see when the live sessions will take place. Of course, these sessions are recorded and therefore available for the class afterwards. 

Everything takes place on one Microsoft Teams channel per class. The participants have access to all sessions and information within the class for the duration of the course.
