Looking to earn an Azure certification? Our portfolio spans from fundamentals to role-based and specialty certifications to help prove and advance your skills in modern cloud environments. For details, check out our blog post, \u201cUnderstanding Microsoft Azure certifications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you build, deploy, or manage on-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge, we have certifications for you. You can also match a certification with your profession (or the one you aspire to). Some are more suited for system administrators (IT pros), developers, or data and artificial intelligence (AI) professionals, and others are a good fit for multiple technical audiences across professions. How should you decide which one is the best for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For additional IT pro certifications, see the \u201cCross-profession certifications\u201d list that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a cloud administrator who implements and manages your organization\u2019s Azure environment, consider the Azure Administrator Associate certification and the related training. If you dive deep into implementing security controls and threat protection, managing identity and access, and protecting data, applications, and networks in cloud and hybrid environments, the Azure Security Engineer Associate could be a great fit for you. It\u2019s also a nice complement to the Azure Administrator Associate certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certifications for developers<\/strong>. Want to prove your ability to innovate with best-in-class apps? Check out these certifications. For additional developer certifications, see the \u201cCross-profession certification\u201d list that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explore the Azure Developer Associate certification, which validates the skills necessary to design, build, test, and maintain cloud applications and services. Or focus on creating Azure IoT solutions, with the Azure IoT Developer Specialty, and demonstrate your ability to develop cloud and edge components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certifications for data and AI experts<\/strong>. To validate your skills in supporting apps and infrastructure with data and analytics, you\u2019ve got quite a few options. For additional data and AI certifications, see the \u201cCross-profession certification\u201d list that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you design and implement the management, monitoring, security, and privacy of data solutions using the full stack of Azure data services, consider earning your Azure Data Engineer Associate certification. To verify your data analytics and visualization skills and show how you maximize the value of your organization\u2019s data using Microsoft Power BI, earn your Data Analyst Associate certification. If you\u2019re implementing and running machine learning workloads on Azure Machine Learning, check out the Azure Data Scientist Associate certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross-profession certifications<\/strong>. Depending on the specific certification, these could be suitable for system administrators, data and AI pros, and developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a developer or an expert in data and AI consider the\u00a0Azure AI Engineer Associate\u00a0certification. This certification covers cognitive services, machine learning, and knowledge mining to architect and implement AI solutions involving natural language processing (NLP), speech, computer vision, and conversational AI.\u00a0Are you an expert at working with people, processes, and technologies to continuously deliver business value?\u00a0DevOps Engineer Expert\u00a0is the role-based expert-level certification for you. It builds on the prerequisite Azure Administrator or Azure Developer certification. If you have the skills to design end-to-end solutions for Azure, consider the comprehensive\u00a0Azure Solutions Architect Expert\u00a0certification, which covers infrastructure, apps, and data and is suitable for IT pros, developers, and data professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fundamentals certifications<\/strong>. Looking to validate your foundational understanding of Microsoft technologies? Read about our current certifications, and then read on to learn about some exciting additions to our fundamentals portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a system administrator, developer, or data and AI professional who is just starting on Azure or the cloud, consider the Azure Fundamentals certification. This validates your basic knowledge of cloud services and how those services are provided with Azure. It can also help to prepare you for other Azure certifications, but it\u2019s not a prerequisite for any of them. Although not part of the Azure portfolio, the Power Platform Fundamentals certification can help data analysts and Azure devs validate their understanding of core Microsoft Power Platform capabilities, including Power Apps and Power BI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intrigued about certification? Every Azure certification, whether it\u2019s fundamentals, role-based, or specialty, offers training to help you upskill and demonstrate your achievements. Choose your certification, and then decide how you want to learn and which platform best fits your learning style. You\u2019ll have access to a breadth of options to help grow your confidence and expertise\u2014from self-paced learning, training events, instructor-led training, and more.
