Microsoft Job Role-based Azure Certifications

Microsoft has aligned Azure certifications and training to job roles - focusing on Admin, Dev or Architect.
Each certification requires 2 exams and no certification has any prerequisite certification requirements.

Certification Camps has developed a comprehensive training / delivery format which focuses on learning beyond the core content accessible to any Microsoft training provider. Our program incorporates interactive demonstrations with explanations which go beyond the content of the book. Additional content, videos, labs & demonstrations are provided to expand on advanced topics - providing additional insight and perspective.  Certification Camps training is not the typical book & PowerPoint presentation found at any local training center.
