  2. In the Provider filter, select O’Reilly and click Apply. The results will surface all books and audiobooks on O’Reilly. (Note that all audiobooks will have a “Book” tag, so we recommend filtering by books or audiobooks in the next step to help differentiate.)

Certification guides

O’Reilly certification guides are complete sets of materials you’ll need to help you prepare for the industry’s most sought-after certifications—including official prep materials from the vendors themselves. You’ll find a variety of content formats like self-paced books, instructor-led videos, and interactive practice tests.

Here’s how to find certification guides on Degreed:

  1. Search for a certification or vendor (for example, “AZ-900” or “Microsoft”). Then in the Type filter, select Course and click Apply.

Certification practice tests

Taking an actual test is the most helpful way to study for a certification exam, which is where practice tests come into play. They’re interactive and customizable, and you can track your performance on a module-by-module basis to get immediate feedback that helps you determine which areas to focus on next.

Each practice test offers three modes designed to help you prepare:

  • Study Mode works as a study guide to evaluate your knowledge. You get answers and full explanations for each question, and you have the option to NOT time yourself so you can study at your own pace.
  • Practice Exams give you the chance to take a simulated timed practice test.
  • Flash Cards provide the questions WITHOUT multiple choice answers for a true test of your mastery.

Here’s how to find practice tests on Degreed:

  1. Search for a certification or vendor (for example, “AZ-900” or “Microsoft”). Then in the Type filter, select Course and click Apply.

Interactive

Labs and sandboxes allow you to experiment with new technologies hands-on in a safe environment. Because interactive content is somewhat unique, it’s not clearly tagged in Degreed. But it’s pretty easy to find.

  1. Search by topic or technology (for example, Kubernetes or Docker) and in the Type filter, select Course then click Apply.

  2. In the Provider filter, select O’Reilly and click Apply.

Live events

O’Reilly live events include live courses, expert-led conversations, Katas challenges, and Superstreams—our bite-sized tech conferences. If your organization has access, you can also find events most relevant to you through skill plans, which are curated collections of events by topic, region, or date. Here’s how to find individual events and skill plans:

  1. To find individual events, search for a topic (for example, Security). Then choose Event in the Type filter and O’Reilly in the Provider filter.

  2. To find skill plans, search for O’Reilly events then select Plans and Directories in the Type filter and click Apply.

  3. In your search results, you’ll find skill plans by topic, region, and date (see the full list below). And once you select a skill plan, you’ll see up to 100 upcoming live events. To see the event’s date, click the View Details icon. (Please note that past events are removed every 24 hours so you may see some events from the previous day.)

  4. We recommend following the skill plans you’re interested in by clicking + Follow on the card or in the top right corner of the skill plan.
