    I am 2X Azure certified: AZ-900 and AZ-204. After watching this video, I reckon my achievements do carry at least some weightage!

    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 !❤

    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.

      You can take the exam directly from Microsoft! You can do so through this link: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/browse/

      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.

      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!
