Microsoft Azure Certification and Training Courses in Australia

Microsoft Azure certification courses teach cloud services, deployment, security, networking, and administration skills for supporting platforms, applications, and business operations daily.

The Microsoft Azure Certification Pathway

Azure certifications run across fundamentals, associate and expert levels, following the role you are aiming for, so you can start at the right point.

Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

The AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals is the entry point, covering core cloud concepts and the main Azure services, pricing and support. It has no prerequisites and suits anyone new to the cloud, and it is the recommended first step before the role based certifications. Related fundamentals include AI-900 for Azure AI and DP-900 for Azure data.

Azure Administrator (AZ-104)

The AZ-104 Azure Administrator is the core associate certification, covering managing Azure subscriptions, identities, storage, virtual networking and compute. It is the certification most people aiming at a hands on Azure role pursue after the fundamentals, and it suits administrators managing Azure day to day.

Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305)

The AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect Expert is the design focused certification, covering designing Azure infrastructure solutions across governance, security, storage, compute and networking. It suits people who design cloud solutions, and it replaces the retired AZ-303 and AZ-304 path.

Specialist Azure certifications

Beyond these, we run the specialist Azure certifications, including the AZ-400 DevOps Engineer, the AZ-500 Azure Security Engineer, the AZ-700 Azure Network Engineer, and the DP-203 Azure Data Engineer. These suit people specialising in DevOps, security, networking or data on Azure.

Azure Courses in Melbourne and Across Australia

Azure training is in strong demand in Melbourne, and we run Microsoft Azure courses in the classroom there and in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, live online in real time from anywhere in Australia, or in house with your team. Live online students join the same class as the room and work through the Azure labs in real time, rather than watching a recording. Classes run full time over consecutive days, or part time to fit around your job. Whichever way you choose, the trainer, the hands on labs, the included exam and the mock tests are the same.

Which Azure Certification Should You Start With

For most people the starting point is the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals, since it gives you the core cloud knowledge the role based certifications build on, and it has no prerequisites. From there, the AZ-104 Azure Administrator is the usual next step for a hands on role, and the AZ-305 Solutions Architect follows for those designing solutions. If you already have cloud experience, you may be able to start at the associate level. If you are not sure, tell our team your background and your goal, and we will point you to the right course.

Azure Cloud Careers in Australia

Cloud skills are among the most in demand and well paid in the Australian IT job market, and Azure sits alongside AWS and Google Cloud as one of the platforms employers ask for most, especially in organisations already using Microsoft. Azure certified professionals work as cloud administrators, solutions architects, DevOps engineers, security engineers and data engineers across almost every industry. Because many organisations run more than one cloud, Azure skills complement AWS and Google Cloud rather than replace them. To broaden across platforms, see our AWS courses and Google Cloud courses, our wider Microsoft courses, and our cloud computing courses, and if your goal is to move into the field, our Cloud Computing Job Ready Program adds training, certifications and local work experience.
