Training

Certification tracks for the products in this Almanac, ordered by the weighted exam objectives Microsoft publishes rather than by our own guesswork — then checked against the roadmap and deprecation feeds so you know what is still worth your evening.

Objective-to-module mappings are generated, not hand-curated. Check them against the study guide before you plan study time around them.

What the training has missed

Cross-referenced against the roadmap and deprecation facets: training that has fallen behind the product, and product that has outrun the training.

Modules Microsoft hasn't revised

Objectives whose mapped module Microsoft hasn't touched in over three years. Age alone isn't proof of rot — but on these products, three years is a long time.

Shipped, but nothing teaches it

Certification tracks

Each certification becomes a path. The exam's published skills-measured outline supplies the stages and their weights; the Almanac fills each objective with a module and the KB doc that says what actually happens when you configure it.

Coverage is two numbers on purpose. “Module” is the share of objectives Microsoft itself teaches — the one worth quoting. “Any” adds objectives where only an Almanac doc covers the ground. Weak counts matches the matcher was not confident about; they are worth a look before you plan study time around them.

Retired and superseded

No longer the current credential: either retired by Microsoft outright, or superseded by a newer version still published alongside it. Listed so you can tell them apart — and so a certificate you already hold has a date against it.

How this is assembled

Certifications, modules, learning paths and courses come from the Microsoft Learn catalogue, filtered to the products in this Almanac.
Stages and weights are parsed from each exam's published study guide — the “Skills at a glance” list gives the weighting, the headings give the topic areas, the bullets give the objectives.
Objectives are matched to modules and KB docs automatically; anything unmatched is reported as a gap rather than quietly dropped.
Stale and uncovered flags come from joining those objectives against the roadmap, deprecation and news tables already in the Almanac.
Non-Microsoft material is hand-curated and sits in its own block on each track. It never counts toward the coverage figure above, which stays a statement about what Microsoft itself teaches. No affiliate links, no paid placement.
