What Is Microsoft Learn in Empath?

Microsoft Learn is Microsoft's own training catalog, and every Empath Learn seat includes more than 4,600 of its items. They run from certification overviews and learning paths to modules, exams and Applied Skills, in the same course list as Empath's own courses.

Techs get Intune, Azure and PowerShell. Security staff get Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel, and the whole team gets Copilot. A certification overview opens Microsoft's page for that certification and its exam, such as MD-102 or AZ-104.

Microsoft publishes the training. Empath adds the parts a manager needs: assigning it to a tech or a team, setting a due date and seeing who finished, next to the rest of your team's courses.

It is one part of the Empath course catalog, next to Empath's own courses and the Curated Collection.

To a Tech or a Team

Assign With Due Dates

Pick a learning path or a module, set a due date and assign it to one tech or a whole team. Empath emails the learner. Assign Empath courses the same way, from the same course list.

Every Day

Track Progress

Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant. Empath syncs assigned Microsoft Learn completions each day. Managers see who finished, with due dates and completion dates, by group, in Learning Progress.

How Does Empath Help With Your Microsoft Partner Status?

Your techs learn on Microsoft Learn, while managers need to know what is due, who is making progress and how that work supports the MSP's partner goals.

Connect Empath to your Microsoft 365 tenant through Entra ID and to Partner Center. Then:

Microsoft Learn

Assign

Give a tech or team Microsoft Learn paths with due dates and reminders, alongside your other training in Empath.

Track

Microsoft Learn completions sync into Empath daily. Managers see each person's progress and due dates with their other courses.

Count

Qualifying intermediate or advanced certifications can contribute skilling points when staff link their Microsoft Learn profiles to your MSP in Partner Center. Courses prepare people for those certifications; course and module completions alone do not earn points.

Qualifying certifications

Partner Center

A Solutions Partner designation needs at least 70 of 100 points and points in Microsoft's required performance, skilling and customer-success metrics. It brings product, marketing, support and advisory benefits. It can help your MSP meet the requirements of Microsoft incentive programs, some of which include co-op marketing funds. Each program has its own criteria.

Partner Center shows admins a Microsoft Learn report. Empath keeps assignments, due dates and each person's progress beside the rest of your training, so managers can follow through.

Which Microsoft certification training does Empath include?

Empath includes overviews of more than 150 Microsoft certifications, 70+ of them current, plus over 800 learning paths and 3,300+ modules. Ones that fit MSP staff include Endpoint Administrator (exam MD-102), Azure Administrator (AZ-104), Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300) and Security Operations Analyst (SC-200). Microsoft awards the certifications.

What is the best way to learn Microsoft?

Start with the Microsoft certification that matches the job, such as Endpoint Administrator or Azure Administrator, and work through learning paths on its topics. New techs can begin with more than 1,300 beginner modules. In Empath, a manager assigns that work with a due date and sees progress next to Empath's own Microsoft courses.

How does Empath track Microsoft Learn progress?

An Empath Admin connects your Microsoft 365 tenant, and Empath then picks up Microsoft Learn progress each day for assigned items. Each learner signs in to Microsoft Learn with the same work account they use in Microsoft 365 and Empath. Progress shows mostly as complete or not complete, with no history from before the connection.

Do Microsoft Learn courses in Empath count toward Microsoft partner status?

Qualifying certifications do. When staff link their Microsoft Learn profiles to your MSP in Partner Center, specified intermediate or advanced certifications can contribute skilling points toward a Solutions Partner designation. Empath helps managers assign Microsoft Learn courses, set due dates and see progress daily. Those courses prepare staff for certifications; completions themselves do not earn partner points.
