The Azure Cloud Architect Immersion Certification program is a six (6) module deep dive into the Microsoft Azure platform, providing delegates with practical and hand-on expertise, while preparing them to become a Microsoft Certified Expert Azure Solutions Architect by passing Microsoft exams AZ-300 and AZ-301.  This program, thus, covers the necessary knowledge needed for delegates to pass the Microsoft Azure exams comfortably, while ensuring they develop practical skills that are needed within local, national and global enterprises architecting solutions on the cloud. This certification program starts by orienting delegates to the various clouds and the products and services available.  It focuses on the Microsoft Azure cloud ensuring full awareness by delegates of each Azure technology, and the business value propositions for each. Working through architectural considerations for deploying and configuring the Azure infrastructure, our certification program covers all the issues around workloads, flows and security, how to frame Azure solutions, and how to build and deploy applications and infrastructure on Azure. The two essential curriculums that are melded into our immersion certification are the Azure architect and design professional programs. This curriculum includes a comfortable balance of pre-recorded modules and live, interactive training (with ample “show and tell” demonstrations), supplemented by live office hours so that any and all questions and uncertainties are addressed for delegates. All components of the two (2) programs (and Microsoft requirements) are covered in depth, with ample labs and hands-on exercises so that delegates become skilled practitioners.
