Because of the nature of the job i got i was obligated to learn about Microsoft Azure and what better place to start than from the fundamentals. ## About the cert It goes without speaking that the Microsoft certs are industry-recognizable so at least from that point if you want to land a job in the cloud :cloud: you have enough reasons to go for the cert + if you are certain that you will work with Azure, its a no-brainer :brain:. The Microsoft cert's that are about the fundamentals do not expire as from what I understood (might be wrong), so that's a bonus. The material from the Microsoft Learn is... how do i say it... I saw documentation pages less boring than the learning platform and material. But it is what it is, the material is boring but tells you exactly what you need to know. And if you are like me and fall asleep while reading, you can always find a course on Youtube with some nice visuals or go to Pluralsight, Coursera, etc, etc. There are alternatives and faster ways to learn the material that's the point. ## About the exam You can schedule an exam with certify or PersonVUE, no idea what certify is or how the process goes, but for PersonVUE i can say that you have 2 options: * Take the exam in-person at a test center * Take the exam online via the OnVUE app The in-person is probably a lot simpler since all you have to do is show up on time with a personal ID. The online is kinda a pain in the ass till you pass the whole "check-in", but don't worry because once you start it gets more stressfull, not because of the exam questions, but because if God forbid someone opens the door from the room you are taking the exam from, or you read the questions out-loud, your exam will be terminated. Don't think just because there is a dot at the end of the last sentence there are no other reasons for you to get terminated from the exam, you have it all online find it and read it if interested. The OnVUE app runs a bit slower so give it time (or i have a potato PC), but once the questions start showing up it should go smooth, and even if it does not, the timer is stopped till the question is fully loaded and displayed. ## Conclusion Would recommend it for specific needs and careers. 4/5. :star: :star: :star: :star: Love.\ BataMladen. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
