Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate (MD-102) Courses

Validates knowledge of managing devices with Microsoft Intune, including enrollment, Autopilot, device and app protection, updates and monitoring.

MD-102 asks scenario questions about Intune, with exhibits and a case study, so a good course has you build and troubleshoot device policies, not only read about them. We compared the main options on hands-on labs, format and price.

Most people should start with Microsoft's free MD-102 learning paths and run the official lab exercises in a trial tenant. Choose John Christopher's Udemy course if you want one paid video course with simulations.

How to choose a MD-102 course

  • Practise in a real tenant. Questions ask you to pick the right Intune policy, profile or setting. Building each one in a trial tenant teaches that faster than reading.
  • Match the current skills list. Microsoft's skills measured list is dated October 27, 2026. Microsoft's own paths follow it, and with a Udemy course you should compare its outline to the list.
  • Use Microsoft Learn as your reference. You can open Microsoft Learn during the exam, so knowing where its pages are helps on the day.
  • Choose text or video. Microsoft's paths are text with exercises. If you learn better from video, add a paid video course.
