without the retake bill
Give your microsoft 365 administrators unlimited, exam-realistic MS-102 (Microsoft 365 Administrator) practice. Each $165 USD retake you avoid more than pays for a seat — and every seat also unlocks all 57 Microsoft certs, so the same people can keep certifying as your needs grow.
Why teams certify staff on MS-102
MS-102 is the tenant-wide administration baseline — deployment, identity, Defender XDR, Purview compliance — for anyone responsible for the health of a client's whole Microsoft 365 environment, not just one workload inside it.
For M365-focused Partners it's one of the most consequential exams to keep staff current on, since it's a primary contributor to the Solutions Partner for Modern Work designation.
Partner relevance
MS-102 contributes toward the Solutions Partner for Modern Work — so keeping staff certified helps protect your Microsoft partner designation and its co-sell benefits.

MS-102 for teams — FAQ
Should our help desk staff take MS-102?
MS-102 is a step up from help desk basics — it is aimed at administrators managing the whole tenant. It is an excellent growth target for strong help desk staff moving into M365 administration, and it sits on the same per-seat plan.
Does MS-102 cover the current Defender and Purview tooling?
Yes. The largest domain is Defender XDR threat management, and the bank is maintained against the current Purview compliance objectives as well.
