Microsoft Ignite Exams - It's Not Too Late
You may have heard that Ignite attendees are eligible for free exams during the conference in Orlando, Florida. Well, this is still true and there are still spots available for any role based certification!
Role based certifications can be found on Microsoft’s learning site here . If you are attending, we highly recommend sitting at least one exam, even if you don’t feel prepared. Just the experience alone will prepare you for how the exam is run and what you areas you may need to spend extra time on.
Below is a walk-through of the process.
On Microsoft’s site, filter to the role based exam you want to take. Here from the drop down, we chose Associate and want to explore the Azure Security Exam. Select Explore This Certification
This will dive deeper into the Azure Security Engineer Associate exam and it’s requirements. Below you will see only one exam is needed to obtain the certification. Click on Microsoft Azure Security Technologies
