Azure
AZ-500
This intermediate Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate training follows the AZ-500 objectives, which Microsoft retired on 31 August 2026, and builds the skills needed to secure Azure-based networks by implementing security controls.
Azure
Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)
Business units are already asking IT about AI, but many teams lack a shared vocabulary for what Azure AI services do, what they cost, and how to use them responsibly. This Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) training gives IT Directors and Team Leads a common baseline before AI projects reach production. The early skills cover machine learning workloads, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and Microsoft's six responsible AI principles. These suit managers, non-developers, and cloud or operations staff. Later skills are hands-on. Practitioners work in Azure Machine Learning Studio and AutoML, build no-code regression and classification pipelines in the Designer, and train Custom Vision models. They also call Cognitive Services with Python, PowerShell, and SDKs, run services in Docker containers, and consume a custom Form Recognizer model through its REST API. Governance is built in. Content on responsible AI, handling facial and other sensitive data, and Form Recognizer billing helps teams set guardrails and anticipate costs before adopting AI tools. The course runs about 19 hours across 20 skills. Plan for developers to take the full path while non-coders focus on concepts and Designer pipelines, and use team reporting to track progress and completion. Microsoft retired the AI-900 exam on 30 June 2026, so the course is assigned today for the Azure AI baseline it builds. To see how it fits your team's training plan, Book a Demo.
Docker
Docker
Container adoption stalls when every engineer installs Docker differently, builds images by habit, and deploys to cloud services without a shared workflow. This Docker course gives DevOps teams a common baseline, from local setup on Linux, Windows, and WSL through image builds, multi-container workflows, and cloud deployment. IT Directors and Team Leads can assign it to DevOps professionals with roughly three to five years of experience. The team works through creating and managing containers, building Docker images for repeatable deployments, configuring Docker Compose and Docker Swarm, and deploying containerized applications to Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS with eksctl, AWS CodeBuild, and Azure. A dedicated module on Python and Docker-py shows how to automate Docker Engine tasks and cut repetitive manual container management. At about 13 hours per learner, the course fits a multi-week enablement plan rather than a one-day session. Training Managers can sequence it with Playlists alongside internal standards for image creation, deployment targets, and automation ownership, then use Team Reporting to track per-learner progress and completion and see who is ready for hands-on container work.
