Update 10/14/2019: My MS-101 exam guide is now available for pre-order. Also, the courses previously listed below are no longer available and have been removed.
If you’re pursuing the M365 Enterprise Administrator Expert certification, you’ll need to pass MS-100 and MS-101, as well as a prerequisite certification (see link for more info). The following study materials will help with preparing for these two exams.
Also, if you haven’t heard, the current MCSA exams 70-346 & 70-347 have retired so the exams below may very well be part of your new path:

The explanation is not correct. When you pass MS-100 and MS-101 you will not become an Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert. You need to pass another prerequisite: Passing Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate or Passing: Microsoft 365 Certified: Teamwork Administrator or Passing: Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate or Passing Microsoft 365 Certified: Messaging Administrator Associate
This is described in following article: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/m365-enterprise-administrator.aspx
Thanks for the update. I’ll update the post as well. This was written months ago during beta so I imagine some things have indeed changed. I appreciate it.
… unless you’ve already got the MCSE: Productivity certification in which case you do only need to pass MS-100 and MS-101 to obtain Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert 🙂
