SC-900 Certification Training Course

SC-900 is one of the most recognised entry points into security and identity. It proves you understand how security, compliance and identity work across Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, which employers value for help desk, junior security, identity and compliance roles, and it lays the groundwork for the more advanced SC-200 and SC-300 certifications.

The official SC-900 exam fee is included in the course price, so unlike most providers there is no separate exam bill to pay later. You also receive digital course material that is yours to keep, practise questions, and a mock test on full-time courses. Our price beat guarantee means we will beat any competitor’s advertised price on the same training. Logitrain is an authorised Pearson VUE test centre, so you can sit the exam with us, at any other Pearson VUE centre, or online. Train in person in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, or join the same live class online from anywhere in Australia.

There are no prerequisites for the SC-900 course or exam. A general understanding of networking and cloud computing, and some familiarity with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, is helpful but not required, which makes this a genuine entry point for people new to security.

Candidates can achieve this certification by passing the following exam.

• SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals

You can book and sit the exam within three months of finishing your course. Sit it at the Logitrain test centre, at any other Pearson VUE test centre, or online through Pearson VUE online proctoring from a private space.
