Is this course right for you?

Our take
A concise, well-proven way to prepare for the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification, and a paid alternative to Microsoft's own free learning path. With over 140,000 ratings it is one of the most-reviewed AZ-900 courses on Udemy.

Good for: beginners who want structured, concise AZ-900 preparation.

Skip if: you are happy using Microsoft's free learning path, or you do not plan to certify.

Scott Duffy covers the ground the certification tests — cloud concepts, core Azure architecture, compute and networking, identity and security, cost management — with live portal demos and two practice tests. Many reviewers report passing the real test straight off it.

It is preparation for a knowledge test, not hands-on Azure engineering, and the credential comes from the separate paid AZ-900, so if you do not plan to sit it, or you are happy with Microsoft's free path, you do not need this. On price, wait for a Udemy sale.
