Amazing video😊I want to start as a beginner in Cybersecurity which Certification should i do?
I'd recommend having a look at the SC-900 certification exam!
Hi brother i m having expertise in sharepoint platform including all versions of on-premise and now online in development, i m having total of 10+ experience, which certification should i prefer ? Since not have any certification till now. Pls suggest brother
I’d suggest looking into the fundamentals certifications first - so those ending in 900. Then once you have an idea of where you want to take your career and specialise then take on a specialty certification.
Great
Im currently studying for the AZ 900, with an end goal of cloud security. Is 100 the next one i should go for?
Which certification should I do after comptia security
@@shaikabdussalaam you can consider starting with Sc-900!
@ the thing is I am fed up with beginner basic foundations essentials tags. I actually wanted to do az500 but it said az900 is highly recommended. Sc900 is too basic that’s what I feel and too lengthy too. Frankly I am confused between ms900 az900 and sc900. I was thinking I could complete az900 in a week or so and get a job then study for az500. Is there any way to contact you ?
@ I’d recommend looking at SC-100 cybersecurity architect expert or AZ-500 azure security engineer expert. AZ-900 is basic introduction to cloud computing and azure stack. MS-900 is focused on M365 and SC-900 is focused more on the security, compliance and identity functionality within the M365 bundles we sell. I have career consultations available, feel free to book in some time with me at calendly.com/techpods/60-minute-career-consultation
Hello, How I can be certified from Microsoft is it only complete the course on Microsoft Learn or need another website to get the certifications
You prepare for the certification you're interested in then you book in the certification exam from the Microsoft Cloud Certification website!
Really enjoy it and learn a lot!
Glad you liked the video! 😄
Idk where to start
You can’t go wrong starting with AZ-900 or MS-900!
Anything that ends with -900
Such a great video! Love your content
Could you please help me identify the Microsoft Certifications required for a Technical Role/Generalist, focusing exclusively on Cloud computing (no hybrid)? Thank you in advance!
I’d recommend doing the AZ-900 course and then picking a role-based or specialty in the azure solution area based on your professional ambition!
Thanks for this video - provided some context to what area to focus on.
@@productfeedback you’re welcome! Glad it helped :)
Currently studying Ms-900
Interesting so then the 1 page resume thing isn’t a set in stone fact, 2 page resumes can work then
this guy should have 880k followers not 880
Does this help getting an entry level job if someone has no previous working experience in IT
Yes, if you're looking for an entry-level position at Microsoft or one of our technology partners I would recommend studying and taking the certification exam!
Don't expect a cloud engineer job as an entry level worker. There are no entry level cloud engineer jobs, but that doesnt mean learnings these things and getting certified isnt worth it. You'll use all or most of these things as an entry level (IT Support for example) worker. Your senior team members would also be impressed if you knew how to use Azure (not a fundamental exam) or at least understood the concepts of Azure and the Cloud (AZ-900). In the end it will most certainly help you to stand out, excel, and move forward in your career to become certified. I have 7 years experience in IT Support and I just got AZ-900 and MS-900 over the last month. I'm looking to transition into a cloud engineer role, so I'm doing a learning path that consists of the following exams. AZ900 -> MS900 -> SC900 -> AZ104 -> AZ305 (to be determined as I may work a couple years and then get this after some real Cloud Administration experience) Good luck with your future!
@@TheBlackHandOfTimethe fundamentals are very good and basic certifications to have and employers would love u to have. If your into the modern Workplace I'd recommend md-102 and ms-102, maybe grab a security certification as well. I currently work as a senior analyst cloud engineer which is basically a junior cloud consultant. I recommend not sticking to 1 company and just apply for Cloud Engineer jobs, if u show the certifications and are willing to learn you will get the job
my experience with the window XP MCP stuff, is nope. It never even landed me a foot in the door role, for the basics. Some one else i spoke to, did the same thing with windows vista, and he was in the same boat. Try getting experience in the ICT field 1st before you invest in courses . That's if you are starting from scratch. Great stuff to learn mind when you start studying it. I dropped it all back in the late 2000s as i was not going anywhere. I was hoping for the MCSA, then the MCSE.
Thank you !!!
Helpful info! Really helps kickstart getting an internship!
Nice video as always! Well done editing and input on the subject very clear!
Thanks for your support - great to hear it was helpful!
I'm researching the certifications types from Microsoft and then select one to kick-off with, thanks for your tips as advices.
Be sure to use the Microsoft certification chart! Let me know which cert you choose to take on :)
@@techpodssocial I'll go for Microsoft Azure fundamentals
@@augustobernardo4759 Good luck!
5:23 How the heck do you get 216% in job survey?
This is honestly the video I needed, I was uncertain where to go next and you made it clear for me that it's probably really good to just start from basics and finish out all the fundementals. Thank you :)
Great to hear that it was valuable for you! Happy learning and all the very best 😄
Pretty nice video keep the great work 👍
Thank you!
Is there any microsoft subscription can I get to have a hands on experience? I’m planning to invest
I would suggest the Microsoft practice assessments or the MeasureUp practice assessments!
This is a great session. Thanks.
You look like someone that can teach me how to make some money remotely. Got anything for me? 😂😂

Great video on helping to boost career in the tech industry!
Great to hear :) which cert are you interested in?
Thanks for the tips!! Very helpful :)
Glad to hear!
Hi there! just sent you a mail regarding some business enquires, please do check! thanks!
Since I’m stuck in bed and can’t work due to an injury, I figured I should work on my brain since I can’t use my body 😂 Didn’t know where to start. Thanks for the video !❤
Hoping you have a swift recovery! Happy learning 😁
@@techpodssocial Thank you ❤️❤️
Smart hhhhh 😅😅
i am interested
I am 2X Azure certified: AZ-900 and AZ-204. After watching this video, I reckon my achievements do carry at least some weightage!
They definitely do!
For AI are certificates worth it and which one
Yes, I've personally studied for and taken the AI-900 course and I would recommend those interested in Azure AI services and Copilot to take it too!
AI-102 but it's on the harder side
I am just starting and i wanting to ask do i need to use coursa or can i get it from straght from microsft
You can take the exam directly from Microsoft! You can do so through this link: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/browse/
Hi, great video!! I am hoping if you can answer my question, currently my company is training me with Microsoft Intune. By any chance do you know where Microsoft Intune aligns with one of these certificates (Azure or 365)
Hi Ralph! "Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate - Certifications" would be my recommendation if you're interested in skilling up on endpoint administration. Happy learning!
Hi, I am looking at my transcript from high school I graduated in 2011 and I completes an MTA windows operating course in 2014/2015 I was wondering if I can use this to apply for jobs and what kind of jobs
I think it might be a bit dated. You’re probably better off doing current and up to date Microsoft certifications if you want a job at Microsoft or Microsoft partners.
CAN I EDIT YOUR UA-cam videos?
You have to start somewhere and Microsoft pays better
Thanks for this.
Thanks for the video , a lot of helpful info!
Glad it was helpful! 😄
Thanks for the helpful tips!
Yes, please do tell how your 4 certs were accomplished? --> :D
Of course! I took the self-serve Microsoft learning content, MeasureUp practice tests and watched John Savill crash course at the end to reinforce my learning.
@@techpodssocialThank you very much.
thank you
These are such insightful tips!

I like your lesson, but you shoud do less hand movement also your hand movement is random you are just lifting your hands every 5 seconds!
