Microsoft Official Digital Curriculum
When taking a Microsoft® Official Digital Curriculum course, please take a few minutes prior to the scheduled class date to set up your personal account.
The week prior to the start date of your class, you will receive an email from getsmart@LRS.com that contains a Learner Course URL. Once course materials are received, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the materials in preparation for the course.
To track the progress of your training and certification activity, you must set up a profile on Microsoft Learn, where the content is hosted.
On the day of your class, you have two options; you may bring your device with you to the class to utilize your digital courseware, or you may use the technology available in our classroom. Upon completion of your training course you will have access to all revisions of the course materials by accessing your digital courseware from your personal devices.
For instructions to setup your personal account for the Microsoft Official Curriculum, please go to the following link: https://account.microsoft.com/account?lang=en-us.
If you have issues signing into or creating your profile on Microsoft Learn, please utilize the support tools available at https://support.microsoft.com/contactus.
