    Hi Bilal,

    That would be a good initiative from your career perspective.

    Let me tell you, Getting certified, Learning product and Playing a consultant role are different things but all are vital important to become a good consultant.

    As you would be aware that D365 finance and operation has many changes from application and architecture point of view.

    I suggest you to first decide What are your areas of interest in D365 FO so you can fully focus on that area. In order to learn any new product. Getting complete understanding of setups are configuration are the key areas. Let's say Pick Financial Management and setup GL/AP/AR/Bank management and run E2E process so that you can fully understand the cycle and outcome of business process.

    Find below the link of all modules contents in D365 FO app that you can starting reading.

    1. docs.microsoft.com/.../

    In order to do practice, Do you have any test environment of D365 finance and operation?

    As far as certification is concern, i believe Ramit has shared with you all the links that you can refer to.

    To play a role of consultant, I strongly suggest you to start reading about how to prepare documentation of any project like Requirements analyis, Solution Design, Fit/Gap analysis, training manuals.

    Good Luck !!

    Hi Bilal,

    Goto the below URL, Select D365 finance and operation app and Register yourself with official ID for 30 days trial. However in this trial version you will have limited rights in the system.
