"Half way through the current cohort, I can honestly say I've never felt as inspired and energised about my career as I feel now having gone through this mentoring challenge so far. Not only is the content absolutely top-notch and thought-provoking, it's also allowed me to build a reading list which otherwise just would not have happened. The mentees in the current cohort have also made it a thoroughly engaging experience."

"Participating in the first year of the #90DayMC was an incredibly valuable experience for me and helped me to succeed in consulting and presales. I still remember the story about the importance of being a craftsman in your role. I keep in touch with participants from all over the world and follow their careers. I found it to be a highly effective method for learning and growth, it was different, refreshing and unique."

This awesome course structure provided me an opportunity to learn and unlearn number of things. There are many things that I can write, but in short it is a single entry point where you get chance to have discussions that provide value for entire life."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is this course for?
If you've never heard of Microsoft Business Applications, Dynamics 365 or the Power Platform then this course isn't for you. It's for people who know they want to build a career that's focused on these Microsoft technologies and are looking for advice on how to chart their career path. You might be just starting out, or several years in.
What will I learn in the 90 Day Mentoring Challenge?
We'll cover A LOT of content in the 90 days, the detailed curriculum is here:
https://ako.nz365guy.com/courses/90dayMC
I recognise that it's a lot of information, so you'll have indefinite access to the content beyond the 90 days so that you can keep returning to it as you need to.
Will I learn how to use Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform from this course?
No. For product and technical training see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training
Who are you? Why should I listen to you?
My name is Mark Smith, I'm known online in the Microsoft Business Applications community as nz365guy. I've been working with Microsoft technologies for more than 20 years and have received a Microsoft Business Applications MVP award for the last 11 years.
You absolutely do not have to listen to me, but the career I've been able to build by focusing on Microsoft Business Applications has been incredibly rewarding and I'm passionate about helping other people discover the potential benefits a career in tech can bring to their lives.
How much time do I need to commit to the challenge?
1-2 hours per week to complete the content, and an additional 2-3 hours to complete the assignments and recommended reading. You'll get out what you put in, so if you can only commit an hour each week, you'll still get value but not as much as if you invest more time.
How much does it cost?
There are two options.
1. The 90 Day Mentoring Challenge is USD $499 plus tax depending on where you're located in the world.
2. You can pay via split payment over 3 months. 3x USD$166.50 plus tax depending on where you're located in the world.
When do I need to enrol by?
You can enrol for the 90 Day Mentoring Challenge at anytime, and get started straight away.
Do I need to be based in the US, UK, Australia or New Zealand?
You can do the 90 Day Mentoring Challenge from anywhere in the world. It's designed for a global audience.
Do I need to understand English?
The content is in English so you'll either need a working knowledge of English or a very good translator. I do have aspirations to produce the course in multiple languages in the future, let me know if there's a particular language that would help you.
What if I am unhappy with this course?
I trust that you'll get significantly more value out of the 90 Day Mentoring Challenge than what it costs, so if you for any reason feel dissatisfied, I am happy to provide a 30 Day Money Back guarantee. No questions asked.
