If you haven't already come across Yaz Becker's course on Udemy here's the link. It helped me get a good understanding of the product. Alternatively there's the Solarwinds Academy to help you study. I however not taken the exams yet and I am undecided if I want to.

Thank you SaraClark &cheryl1 ,
I assume this resource can be used for preparing for the SCP exam: Virtual Classrooms | SolarWinds Customer Portal ?
Hi SaraClark and cheryl1
Don't want to step on any toes because I have massive respect for SW staff on this forum. However, just some constructive criticism, the Virtual Classroom platform seems to lack structure and order, so my question is do you start with the very top video and make your way down in the list? Example below (couldn't fit all of it in one screenshot). The order seems quite random to me. Also there is a 2022.2 version video (very first in the screenshot) and a 2024.2 version further down the list, do you skip the 2022.2 or are both relevant?
mark.gover No offended toes here whatsoever. The inability to customize this interface further is a shared frustration. The Customer Portal is not an LMS system, so we do not have many options for organizing classes into any sort of learning path at the moment. That said, please stay tuned for updates in the (hopefully) not-so-distant future.
In response to the confusing format, I wrote a learning path document for the Self-Hosted Platform, Hybrid Cloud Observability, and the Legacy Modules. Let me see if there is a way I can share that on THWACK so you guys can access it, as I can't just attach the PDF to this post.
Fantastic you are a star, thank you Cheryl :D
Correct. And if you see my response to @mark.gover stay tuned for a Learning Path document I hope to be able to share in this thread to help you navigate it.
Many thanks to the fabulous ChrystalT for finding a THWACK repository for this document!
mark.gover itengineer osvict and everyone, here is a Learning Path document to help you navigate the Portal.
Customer Portal Recommended Learning Path
From this document, you can pick out the courses that apply to whatever exam you are taking, including Legacy Modules. NOTE: For the NPM and SAM module SCPs you will also want to go through the Self-Hosted Platform training classes.
I hope this helps!
Could I make the suggestion as to number the modules from first to last in the headings?
For example
1 - What Is SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability?
2 - SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Licensing Tiers and Features
and so on and so forth.
Thanks for the PDF, I have saved it on my workstation for review
Good suggestions, thank you!
Thanks,this helps.
