Given your existing Microsoft certifications (AZ-900, DP-900, and PL-300), you could consider advancing to role-based certifications like Azure Administrator Associate, Azure Developer Associate, or Azure Security Engineer Associate would be beneficial. These certifications build upon your foundational knowledge and delve into specific areas of Azure!

Landing your first IT job requires more than just a certification. Your role fit, resume and cover letter quality and interviewing ability all play a role! Feel free to set up time with me through my Calendly link!

@@riddert4966 the order doesn’t really matter :) good luck!

It's good to build a foundation of on-prem server knowledge. For that, you might want to learn more about the Linux and Windows Servers. Then I would suggest looking at the Azure family of certifications. Starting with AZ-900 fundamentals before moving onto the other specialty certifications. Happy learning!

@@arjasarkar6188 I’ve just replied your email!

I'd recommend having a look at the SC-900 certification exam!

I’d suggest looking into the fundamentals certifications first - so those ending in 900. Then once you have an idea of where you want to take your career and specialise then take on a specialty certification.

@@shaikabdussalaam you can consider starting with Sc-900!

@ the thing is I am fed up with beginner basic foundations essentials tags. I actually wanted to do az500 but it said az900 is highly recommended. Sc900 is too basic that’s what I feel and too lengthy too. Frankly I am confused between ms900 az900 and sc900. I was thinking I could complete az900 in a week or so and get a job then study for az500. Is there any way to contact you ?

@ I’d recommend looking at SC-100 cybersecurity architect expert or AZ-500 azure security engineer expert. AZ-900 is basic introduction to cloud computing and azure stack. MS-900 is focused on M365 and SC-900 is focused more on the security, compliance and identity functionality within the M365 bundles we sell. I have career consultations available, feel free to book in some time with me at calendly.com/techpods/60-minute-career-consultation

You prepare for the certification you're interested in then you book in the certification exam from the Microsoft Cloud Certification website!

Glad you liked the video! 😄

You can’t go wrong starting with AZ-900 or MS-900!

Anything that ends with -900

I’d recommend doing the AZ-900 course and then picking a role-based or specialty in the azure solution area based on your professional ambition!

@@productfeedback you’re welcome! Glad it helped :)

If you're a high-skilled professional, otherwise no

Yes, if you're looking for an entry-level position at Microsoft or one of our technology partners I would recommend studying and taking the certification exam!

Don't expect a cloud engineer job as an entry level worker. There are no entry level cloud engineer jobs, but that doesnt mean learnings these things and getting certified isnt worth it. You'll use all or most of these things as an entry level (IT Support for example) worker. Your senior team members would also be impressed if you knew how to use Azure (not a fundamental exam) or at least understood the concepts of Azure and the Cloud (AZ-900). In the end it will most certainly help you to stand out, excel, and move forward in your career to become certified. I have 7 years experience in IT Support and I just got AZ-900 and MS-900 over the last month. I'm looking to transition into a cloud engineer role, so I'm doing a learning path that consists of the following exams. AZ900 -> MS900 -> SC900 -> AZ104 -> AZ305 (to be determined as I may work a couple years and then get this after some real Cloud Administration experience) Good luck with your future!

​@@TheBlackHandOfTimethe fundamentals are very good and basic certifications to have and employers would love u to have. If your into the modern Workplace I'd recommend md-102 and ms-102, maybe grab a security certification as well. I currently work as a senior analyst cloud engineer which is basically a junior cloud consultant. I recommend not sticking to 1 company and just apply for Cloud Engineer jobs, if u show the certifications and are willing to learn you will get the job

Thanks for your support - great to hear it was helpful!

Be sure to use the Microsoft certification chart! Let me know which cert you choose to take on :)

​@@techpodssocial I'll go for Microsoft Azure fundamentals

@@augustobernardo4759 Good luck!

Great to hear that it was valuable for you! Happy learning and all the very best 😄

Thank you!

I would suggest the Microsoft practice assessments or the MeasureUp practice assessments!

calendly.com/techpods/60-minute-career-consultation Feel free to book in some time through my meeting link!

Great to hear :) which cert are you interested in?

Glad to hear!

Hoping you have a swift recovery! Happy learning 😁

@@techpodssocial Thank you ❤️❤️

Smart hhhhh 😅😅

They definitely do!

Yes, I've personally studied for and taken the AI-900 course and I would recommend those interested in Azure AI services and Copilot to take it too!

AI-102 but it's on the harder side

You can take the exam directly from Microsoft! You can do so through this link: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/browse/

Hi Ralph! "Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate - Certifications" would be my recommendation if you're interested in skilling up on endpoint administration. Happy learning!

I think it might be a bit dated. You’re probably better off doing current and up to date Microsoft certifications if you want a job at Microsoft or Microsoft partners.
