- Scenario
- Attempting to export built-in security training courses for offline use or integration with a third-party LMS platform.

Verify that you have Global Administrator or Security Administrator permissions in Microsoft 365 and review your organization's specific Microsoft licensing agreements regarding third-party content.
Review Microsoft Licensing and Service Terms for Content Export
Determine if your specific licensing allows downloading and redistributing the proprietary training content to a third-party LMS.
Microsoft Attack Simulation Training content is often provided in partnership with third-party security awareness vendors (such as Terranova Security). Because of these partnerships, the raw training files and videos are typically restricted from being downloaded, exported, or hosted on an external Learning Management System (LMS) due to copyright and licensing constraints.
To ensure compliance and check for any custom enterprise agreements that might allow exports, you must review the official Microsoft Product Terms or contact Microsoft Support directly.
Navigate to the Microsoft 365 Defender portal and log in with your Security Administrator credentials.
In the left navigation pane, go to 'Email & collaboration', select 'Attack simulation training', and then click on the 'Training catalog' tab.
Click on any training module to view its details, provider information, and terms of use to confirm if export options are natively supported.
If no export option is visible, use the 'Help & support' widget in the admin center to open a ticket requesting clarification on LMS integration for your specific tenant.

Bypass the need for an external LMS by using Microsoft's built-in training assignment and tracking features.
