Course overview
The Microsoft Certified Fundamentals, Associate, and Expert is a new breed of Microsoft certification. It is referred to as a ‘role-based certification’. According to Microsoft, role-based certifications show that individuals that possess them are keeping pace with today’s technical roles and requirements. They allow a learner to skill up and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.
One of three, Microsoft Azure Associate certifications you can gain through this course bundle.
Microsoft role-based certifications cover three skill levels: 1. Fundamental, 2. Associate, and 3. Expert. Career paths include developer, administrator, DevOps, and solutions architect.
Microsoft claims that upon earning a certification, 23% of Microsoft certified technologists reported receiving up to a 20% salary increase. What’s more, certified employees are often entrusted with supervising their peers, putting them on the fast track for a promotion.
Upon completion of this course and meeting the Acclaim requirements, you’ll receive one Microsoft Azure Fundamentals ‘Acclaim’ badge, one Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate ‘Acclaim’ badge, and one Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate ‘Acclaim’ badge that you can add to your CV or social media profile for prospective employers and recruitment companies to see. You’ll also receive three Microsoft certifications (1 x Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification, 1 x Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate certification, and 1 x Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate certification).
