    Hey buddy,
     
    I am not sure what you are trying to achieved but my pathway has been self taught and I have done everything by using microsoft Learn and other tools. 
     
    Reach out if you are looking for something specific.

    You can use Microsoft Learn for Lab environments.

    It depends on what D365 we are talking about. There are different ways of getting a trial depending on the type of product.
    The organisation/work email can be worked around by creating a Microsoft trial tenant. There are a few videos on Youtube on how to do so.
     
    Regardless, I say yes. My advice is to take the learning objectives of the certifications in question, and try to implement it.
     
    Certifications (in my opinion / minor rant from my side) is a validation that you are able to configure a system, not just remember answers and check boxes.
    When I participate in interviews, I tend to ask questions on how to implement a specific topic, or how you did it last time.

    Hi CU04060509-0,
     
    If you are preparing for a certification exam you can also spin up a sandbox for executing the hands on labs, as mentioned by Adis.
     
     
    This will spin up a virtual machine with a demo D365 FO instance.

    Hi,
     
    Actually not, however, it does help you A LOT to understand how the process works.
     
    Usually, if not for all certifications, MS provides a chapter called "LAB". In this chapter you can connect to a virtual machine and explore a process in D365FO.
    It gives you the opportunity to check your knowledge in this specific chapter.
     
     
     

    Kind regards, Adis
