Azure user training. Businesses are moving to the cloud. Employees today need to know more about IT than how to use a few applications on a workstation. The wide-scale migration of IT services to the cloud means that everyone who uses these applications should also know something about them. Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals training will give the non-technical professional a basic understanding of Azure cloud services and how to make the most of them.

New or aspiring IT professionals. Microsoft technologies are everywhere, and so is the cloud. Learning about Microsoft Azure is a good preparation for working in an IT-related job these days.
