Hi

I am looking for the best place to an Azure course to prepare for the AZ-900 examination.

Can anyone recommend a place?
I have found what looks decent on Coursera, but Im not sure if its the best, so hence I am asking here.

Thanks!
 
To be honest, just do the Microsoft Learn stuff. Its quite comprehensive.

I did that, and passed.


docs.microsoft.com

Introduction to Cloud Infrastructure: Describe Cloud Concepts - Training

Introductory learning path that is part of the Azure Infrastructure fundamentals content.
docs.microsoft.com

Its all free too. Like the exam. Which you can get for free if you do stuff on their site. Google for the latest req's on that. I still have another free exam i'm waiting on.

Thank you for the tip.
So this will be enough to take the exam, no need for other sources of information?
 
Microsoft Learn linked here even offers free sandboxes to spin up some stuff during lessons

Later if you need more touching and prodding:
Udemy has some decent video courses
ACloudguru offers courses with their own sandboxes to practice too that's a combination of MS Learn and Udemy in style

I have acloudguru access, and the Azure stuff was woefully inadequate and out of date.
Better off googling for AZ900 exam pdf's and revising, plus the MS Learn stuff.

I passed my AZ900 first time, with about 2-3 days of revision.

Possible,been a while since I touched 900,I was meaning more advanced courses :laugh: combining multiple sources always better than 1 imo
 
This is a good resource.

Download a bunch of the exams pdf's *after revising*, and go through them, to make sure you know the coursework.

Why even take the exam for Fundementals... go through the course then start on the course for the Associate level that you want

For me it was company BS - you had to do the AZ 900 if you worked as a technical resource...

Cue lots of self felatio. back patting and great jobs from all and sundry who now thought they were "cloud specialists"... Joke...

You dont need AZ 900 to do any of the Associate level Azure courses, so why waste money on the exam. LOL

Did you company pay for the exam?
 
lol , plenty of cloud specialists who dont even understand basic fundamentals.Some of these people have never seen a server in there life.A few clicks and magic , they have setup a server.

Free from MS at the time - but yes they paid for MS exams as needed.

It was more of a "look how technical we are" and "good jobs all round" need than anything remotely useful.

Read reviews about that site, mostly complaints that it’s an exam dump. Don’t go that route, use official documentation and legit learning material. You’ll be fine, cramming and memorising questions and answers is not the solution. I’ve had conversations with people that take pride in cheating, it shows a lack of faith in one’s ability.

It is an exam dump site - no better way to check your revision.
You'll note I explicitly said go through them after revising. Past exams are a useful tool to test knowledge.

If you can't answer the questions in there, you know you need more work.

Its got nothing to do with cheating, and a lot to do with practice.

If you need to use brain dumps to measure your ability to retain information and test your own understanding of concepts it might be worthwhile to read “Learning How to Learn”…
 
I wrote AZ104 last year...Not too difficult at all..Just long winded questions...Like Comptia's crap.
I used the MS learning path...And I think there are a couple of decent courses on You Tube you can watch...
Prior to this I had minimal cloud experience/knowledge.

(I renewed last month...pretty easy to do...quick 30 min test you do online...no extra cost to renew)
