Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals Certification - Is Worth It? | Jobs, Salary, Study Guide

[@senciddimisin]

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?

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.

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Hi Robert, Based on the information that you've provided, that sounds like a solid plan.

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.

[@hobgoblin4614]

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?

[@casckana]

I would say it's more cloud based. Maybe look at the pre requisites outline and compare them both

[@hobgoblin4614]

@@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.

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

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.

[@MrNicks-gn8jc]

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.

How relevant are skills obtained in this cert to non Azure platforms?

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

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.
