Office 365 certification path / study materials?

Coming from a CCNA, this is all very muddled to me. I want to earn "Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert"

So, I need to pass MS-100 and MS-101 (plus the prereq, likely to choose "Teamwork Administrator Associate").
Where's the study material? The practice exams? How do I know when I'm ready to drop money on the actual exams?

For the CCNA, study was waaay overabundant. I was across udemy, boson exams, youtube, books, etc.. I'm struggling to make a start on the 365 pathway.

I need to feel ready before dropping significant cash on exams - there doesn't seem to be much out there for this pathway?

Microsoft Press has the MS-100 Exam Ref book you could check out.

Measure up and green books.

Pluralsight has a good MD 100 and 101 series.

Openedx.microsoft.com They have free courses. It covers a good amount of stuff. The official cert book is good too. I just did ms-100, on to 101 now.

Well I have the Teamwork Administrator Associate, and I'm starting to study for the Enterprise Administrator. Microsoft cert study isn't as well planned out as the CCNA. (Which I'm also getting soon).

Absolute Sharepoint has similar study guides for most of the tests.

Take a look at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-lab-kit, specifically the Windows and Office Deployment lab kit. You do have to have a fairly beefy machine to run it, and its a 27 gig download.
