Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the Challenge help me if I’ve already started my career working with Microsoft Power Platform or Dynamics 365?
Yes. Plenty of people take the Challenge because they’re feeling a bit stuck in their career, they want to put their best foot forward for a promotion, or they’re gearing up to go for a new role. It doesn’t really matter where you are in your Microsoft career. The skills you learn with the Challenge will help you level up.
Will the Challenge help me if I’m just staring out in my Microsoft career?
Yes. It’s a brilliant idea to take the Challenge at the start of your career because you’ll learn so many things that can take people years of trial and error, and you’ll accelerate your career as a result.
Is the Challenge live or is it recorded videos?
The 12 modules are pre-recorded videos supported with resources. Every two weeks we run a live Q&A session where you can come along with any questions and Mark and Meg will help you out.
Does the Challenge come with live support?
Every two weeks we run a live Q&A session where you can come along with any questions you may have for Mark and Meg. You can also ask questions in the Challenge community – Mark and Meg check in every day – and the other Challenge participants are also a great source of wisdom and support.
What if I want to do the Challenge again?
You have lifetime access to the Challenge content, so you can dip back into the modules any time you need a refresher on a topic.
Can I ask my employer to pay for the Challenge?
Absolutely you can. We regularly run the Challenge for organisations who want to upskill their team. You can download a template for a request for professional development support here and customise this letter for your manager or HR team.

Is the Challenge associated with Microsoft?
The Challenge is not organised by Microsoft or affiliated with Microsoft.
Mark is an experienced Microsoft professional and has worked with the Power Platform and Dynamics 365 for 22 years. He started the Challenge because so many people started coming to him for mentoring, he couldn’t help everyone one-on-one and he wanted to support people to grow their Microsoft careers at scale.
Since the Challenge was launched in 2018, alumni include Microsoft implementation partners, independent Microsoft consultants, IT professionals who work at companies using Microsoft Power Platform or Dynamics 365, and people who work for Microsoft. Mark is also a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and he and Meg both develop and deliver training content for Microsoft staff worldwide.
However, we want to make it clear that the Challenge is not endorsed by Microsoft and is not a Microsoft service.
