Microsoft 365 Administration (Exam 70-346) (Udemy.com)

This course is designed to give users a tour and understanding of the administrative capabilities in Microsoft 365.

Created by: Intellezy Trainers

Last updated April 2020

Our take

Based on the ratings of 5,865 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 6.5 hour, 89 lecture tour of Microsoft 365 administration from the Intellezy Trainers team. It walks through the admin center, users and groups, custom domains, hybrid Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, Yammer and a long compliance and security section. Despite the exam number in the title, it reads more like an orientation for people who need to understand what an admin does than a study guide. It assumes you already know Microsoft 365 as an everyday user, and about 20,000 students have enrolled.

Reviewers like the teaching. Words that come up are short, clear and well explained, and the 4.6 average across 5,865 ratings backs that up, with few one and two star scores. One student singled out the Single Sign On and AD Connect material. The complaints are about age and exam fit. The last update was April 2020, and reviewers say Skype for Business should have given way to Teams. A 2025 reviewer says many of the security features are gone from 365. Others say the details are thin, the text is small on a tablet, and questions in the Q&A go unanswered.

The exam warning is the big one. Reviewers say the exam is old (one points to the newer MS-203 code), that the videos miss ADFS, and that the real test leans on PowerShell and migration scenarios the course barely touches. Two one star reviews say it does not prepare you for the exam. As a short, paid introduction for helpdesk staff or a manager planning an Office 365 rollout, it does the job, with the caveat that parts are dated. For certification, look elsewhere.

Best forHelpdesk staff or office managers who want a plain tour of the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Skip it ifYou are sitting a Microsoft admin certification exam and need PowerShell and migration depth.

Pros

  • Short, clear explanations that reviewers call well explained
  • 89 compact lectures cover users, groups, Exchange, SharePoint Online and Yammer in 6.5 hours
  • One reviewer singled out the Single Sign On and AD Connect section
  • A 4.6 average across 5,865 ratings, with very few one and two star scores

Cons

  • Last updated in 2020, so Skype for Business appears where Teams now sits
  • Written for the outdated 70-346 exam; reviewers say it misses ADFS and PowerShell
  • Mostly admin screen demos, with no quizzes or exercises and small on-screen text
Great course, a few areas could do with more examples 'through the application' rather than just through the Admin screens

Listed for all levels, but the requirements assume you already know Microsoft 365 as a user.

Well the instructor is prefect but exam is old the new exam code is Ms-203 why it is not up to date? at lest for regular students update should be free , and the exam code should be written if the training is absolute it should be removed from the training list.

By Anthony Davis on 11/15/2020

By Ken Hoose on 10/9/2020

So far, it has been a good match for me.

By Manika Pandey on 9/29/2020

Course is definitely nice and a good learning, but this course is not updated with time, like it should have teams administration section instead of skype now. Also there are many section which are very old. This course was last updated on 2018, and Microsoft is changed a lot since then.

By Andrzej Zienkiewicz on 9/22/2020

Well prepaired, but not yet my level of knowledge.
