How should I prepare for DP-750?
Study with the free DP-750T00 course and the Microsoft Learn paths listed on this page. Then use our DP-750 practice test to practise the exam skills.
Microsoft also offers a free Practice Assessment through AI Skills Navigator; sign in to launch it. The English exam outline changes on October 19, 2026, and our practice test follows the updated version. If you take the exam before then, check Microsoft's DP-750 study guide for the objectives that apply to your exam. Avoid exam dumps: using them can invalidate your score, revoke certifications you already hold, and bar you from future exams.
You can also search the Microsoft Training Services Partners directory for instructor-led options. The course takes four days; New Horizons lists DP-750T00 at $2,495 in the U.S. Dynamics Edge also lists DP-750T00 at $2,495 for instructor-led training. Prices vary by provider and format.
Does the exam include official labs I can use to practice?
Microsoft does not publish a fixed list of exams that include labs, and a lab may be removed if the live environment is unavailable. Check your exam overview when you start; DP-750 may include interactive components as part of the exam, not as practice labs. The self-paced DP-750T00 course on Microsoft Learn may include some tasks using a lab.
If you purchase Instructor-led training, Microsoft Training Partners usually provide access to official labs for about 90 days. Always checks the labs are from Microsoft Partners like Skillable.
Depending on the exam, you could get a trial licence which could include demo data you can use to practice, but that is not always guaranteed and Microsoft often changes policies about free trials with demo data. If you prefer hand-on learning using labs, contact a Microsoft Training Services Partner for Instructor-led training.
