WHAT DO OTHER STUDENTS SAY?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The course was excellent and went into greater detail than was required to pass the exam, including practical demonstrations to reinforce the concepts.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone studying for the AZ-900 exam.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is THE most amazing AZ-900 Fundamentals Course i have seen in Udemy and on the ‘Net. I recommend this course to anybody – as it is crisp clear and complex enough to understand the concepts.
The practicals / hands-on dispersed across the course helps one to understand the concepts fully.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really loved this course. This course helped me pass the first time. I think what separates this course from others is the fact that this course has a lot of hands-on exercises, and the instructor really knows his stuff.
Happy studying everyone!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great content, concise and easy to follow. I passed the exam 880 out of 1000, with help from this course, especially the labs, quizes and practice exams. Oh and remainder to delete all resources helps to save some $ from unexpected Azure costs.
