Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Microsoft Azure courses in Polokwane.

Do I need IT experience to start Azure training?

Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900) and Azure Security Fundamentals (SC-900) are all beginner-level courses — no prior cloud experience is required. We recommend starting with AZ-900 as the foundation for all Azure learning paths. Contact us and we will advise on the best starting point for your background.

What is the difference between Azure Fundamentals and Azure Administrator?

Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900, R10,900 / 10h) is a beginner introduction to Azure concepts — suitable for all professionals. Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104, R16,900 / 20h) is the first hands-on technical certification for IT professionals managing Azure environments. AZ-900 is not required for AZ-104 but is strongly recommended as preparation.

Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft’s unified data platform — combining data engineering, data science, analytics and reporting in a single cloud environment. The DP-600 Fabric Analytics Engineer (R18,900 / 20h) is ideal for data analysts and Power BI professionals. The DP-700 Fabric Data Engineer (R28,800 / 40h) is for data engineers building data pipelines and lakehouses.

Are these courses online or in-person?
