Exams and assessments
There are no formal exams included in this course. Learning is reinforced through team-based challenges, scenario-driven missions, and instructor-led discussions that assess understanding through application rather than written testing.
Hands-on learning
This course includes:
- Gamified, team-based missions aligned to real security operations scenarios.
- Guided exercises using Microsoft Copilot for Security across multiple tools.
- Instructor-led facilitation and feedback throughout each mission.
