Certification Detail

This certification fills an industry need and lowers the barrier to entry for non-technical professionals switching to a career in IT. It validates basic knowledge of cloud services and how those services are provided with Azure. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a fundamental knowledge of cloud concepts, along with Azure services, workloads, security, privacy, pricing, and support

Candidates will prove their knowledge of cloud computing concepts, models, and services, such as public, private, and hybrid cloud, in addition to infrastructure as a service (laaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

Candidates can use their Azure Fundamentals certification to reinforce their basics for other Azure role-based or specialty certifications, but it isn’t a prerequisite for any of them.

I have been extremely pleased

As an experienced healthcare professional making a transition into the IT field, I have been extremely pleased with the support that MedCerts has given me from the time that I started taking their courses. Being a married professional with a child, my life is extremely busy, and the advantages that their online course offers are substantial. I would, in particular, like to acknowledge the tremendous support that I have received (and continue to receive) from the IT academic advisor. The team has all worked diligently, and gone above and beyond the call of duty, to resolve my concerns, and assist me with the completion of my IT program. I would heartily recommend MedCerts to anyone who is thinking about changing their current field, or acquiring a new skill set, while they are currently employed.
