For people who are new to this and have 0 clue about Azure, you can pass this exam studying for 5-6 days working 3 hours a day, thats how I did it.
Thanks for your comment Ali.
@@SkillsBuildTraining I am very interested in getting a Microsoft certification. However, I am oblivious in IT tech. I need to increase my knowledge in tech as I am I widow and over fifty. I have a useless degree. Any recommendations?
Did it lead to a higher paying position?

very informative brother...been a System Admin/Engineer for few years now, im thinking on getting certified in azure cloud, might as well start with fundamentals.
Yes, definitely J Law!
I work as a network admin, mostly switching and voip duties. We have vmwar guy thats been virtualizing a lot of stuff. Server room getting smaller and smaller. Anyway one of the sites we just purchased is using Azure and I think its kind of slowly heading our way. At first I was gonna go AWS but I think since we pretty much will have Azure at our site will go that route first maybe.
Hi Robert,
Based on the information that you've provided, that sounds like a solid plan.
Started already!! Cannot wait to pass the certifications
Thanks for your comment J.A.Y. All the best with the certification.
Thank you dear, very valuable informations.

Love the way this guy talks. This video was pleasant to watch
Thanks ikjon23.
@@SkillsBuildTraining question, do you need to learn code in order to fully get a grasp on cloud??
120k for someone with an Azure AZ900?? I think you need way more than that.
Man.... you are awesome!
Thanks Jacob.
Appreciate the comment.
How would we know that Microsoft isnt going to retire the cert after weve achieved it?

Hi , is it coding or any programming language required for azure administration?
Hi Aviral,
As an Azure Administrator no coding or programming is required.
Understanding PowerShell Scripting can be valuable though.
I am ready
Thanks for your comment Oladeji.
YES
All the best with your certification exam Ade.
Hi
I am 35 years old and have been working in hospitality front of house role for over 12 years. I am willing to enter IT industry, will this course help me to enter help desk roles in IT or other entry level IT jobs.
Thanks
I think Comptia would be more suited for a beginner help desk role
What is the difference between Azure Fundamentals and Microsoft 365 Fundamentals course and certification? Is one more technical (and one more functional) that the other?
I would say it's more cloud based. Maybe look at the pre requisites outline and compare them both
@@casckana thanks for responding. Found a couple of videos and Microsoft 365 seems more apps based vs. Azure seems more cloud based. Interesting thing is from what I gather Azure Active Directory (AD) seems more closely slotted with Microsoft 365 instead of Azure 365.
Hob Goblin,
Yes, you're correct. Microsoft 365 Certified Fundamentals is more focused on Microsoft's app based cloud offerings , and Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals is more focused on Azure.
Hope that helps.
The AZ-900 is focused on the Microsoft approach to universal cloud computing concepts.
The MS-900 is focused on the more common tasks associated with the admin and engineering side of M365 (Office 365).
I hope this helps.
@@MrNicks-gn8jc Thanks Marty.
their are many certifications on azure like ai engineer data scientist developer and many more .... does these certifications can provide us jobs in campnies?
Hi Harsh,
Yes, they do.
If I get azure certified but have No college background would I still have a good chance at landing a job with this certification
Hi Donovan,
Yes, certainly. You would also need to ensure that you develop solid job search and interview skills.
Hope that helps.
Just passed this test currently job hunting
Congratulations Blazing Falcon.
All the best with your job search.
Good luck. I’m curious to know how it goes. Please come back and provide feedback once you land a job.
@@TheFruitney Good idea.
Any luck on your job search? Hope all is well..
What do you think about the Microsoft Power Platform as a career to go in to?
Thanks for your question G O. One of the best ways to answer that is to go to the major job websites and enter Microsoft Power Platform and see how many, and what type, of jobs come up.

Hope that helps!
Thanks
You're welcome Apurva.
How relevant are skills obtained in this cert to non Azure platforms?
Hi umuJG,
The skills taught in this certification are specific to Azure, but the concepts are cross platform relevant.
We would suggest that you get the certification specific to the Cloud platform that you plan to support.
There is also the CompTIA Cloud+ which teaches more general cloud concepts: www.comptia.org/certifications/cloud
Hope that helps.
How to seek for job after finishing exam!
I have passed it!
Hi Ritesh,
Congrats on passing the exam.
You might want to start looking for jobs on sites like Monster and Indeed. Use the search term 'Azure' to get a wide listing of jobs, and then you can narrow the search criteria from there.
Hope that helps.
yes
Thanks for your comment Mugisa.
Hi,
I got this certification, but I don't have any practical experience, can I get a job as a fresher in cloud.
Hi Ramakrishna,
You sure can.
@@SkillsBuildTraining Thanks for your reply
Yes I go this week fir the exam
All the best with your exam checo. Let us know how it goes.
It’s just a basic understanding course. You don’t really get a job with just this cert. one can pass this exam in 2-3 days of prep.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your comment.
This certification can help you get an IT job.
A lot depends on how effective your job search, resume, and interviewing skills are.
Yes studying
All the best with your certification exam Use CriticalThinking.
How much time is required to prepare for this Certification exam?
Hi Hamza,
This certification is relatively easy to pass, and people often pass the test after just a few days of preparation.
It really depends on how many hours of study you can commit to per day.
Hope that helps.
I am from hardware networking field from 16 years can I do it?
You sure can Indraneel.
Is it possible for me to skip the AZ-900 and start on AZ-104
Hi Donald,
It really depends on how much Azure experience you already have.
If you're new to Azure then starting with AZ-900 is the best option.
If you are already working with Azure (6+ months) then you can possibly start with AZ-104.
Hope that helps.
SkillsBuild Training thank you so much
@@donaldmufunda8991 You're welcome.
@@donaldmufunda8991 were you able to skip and do the AZ104?
Which is better Azure fundamental or data fundamental exam?
Hi Santhosh,
That really depends on which direction you want to take your IT career.
Do you want to become a Data Engineer or Database Administrator? Then do the Microsoft Certified Azure Data Fundamentals.
Do you want to become a System Administrator? Then do the Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals.
Hope that helps.
@@SkillsBuildTraining thank you.i am planning to take up Azure fundamental certification
