Most training ends at the lecture and leaves the exam up to you. As an authorized Microsoft training partner, Training Camp builds the exam into the course, puts a live expert in the room, and backs every seat with a Free Exam Retake Guarantee — certified in days, not months.
The largest family by a distance, covering Azure infrastructure, administration, architecture, development and DevOps. Every entry here maps to a numbered AZ exam, listed by exam number the way Microsoft lists them. Note that puts AZ-900 last even though it is the entry point, and the two Expert credentials (AZ-305, AZ-400) mid-list rather than at the end.

The largest security family Microsoft runs, from a one-day fundamentals exam through to the only Expert credential on this page. The four Associate exams divide the work by function rather than by product, with operations in SC-200, identity in SC-300, information protection in SC-401, and cloud and AI platform security in SC-500. SC-100 is the exception to everything else here: it is the one exam that will not award its certification until you already hold SC-200, SC-300 or SC-500.

The AI family on Azure, now split by what you actually own. AI-103 is the application and agent layer, AI-200 the Azure platform underneath it: containers, vector stores, messaging and tracing. Fundamentals is a one-day exam with no prerequisites, which makes it the cheapest way to find out whether the longer AI path is worth committing to.

Databases and data services on Azure, now split between the classic SQL platform work in DP-300 and the two Fabric credentials. DP-600 sits on the modelling side and DP-700 on the engineering side, so the pair covers the same lakehouse from opposite ends. DP-900 assumes no prior Azure experience and runs a single day.

Power BI and the wider Power Platform, from the one-day fundamentals exam up to the developer credential. PL-300 is Associate level but assumes working familiarity with data rather than an administration or development background, which makes it the most accessible non-infrastructure path here. The three sit on a single line of work, with PL-900 covering the platform concepts, PL-300 the reporting layer built on them, and PL-400 the code that extends both.

Microsoft newest exam family, covering Microsoft 365 Copilot administration and the intelligent applications built on top of it. AB-410 is the low-code builder credential, sitting between Power Platform fundamentals and the developer path. AB-650 is the administrator credential for a tenant that already runs Copilot and agents, covering readiness, oversharing, the agent registry and Agent 365. AB-900 is the fundamentals end and AB-620 the Copilot Studio builder credential; those two are taught together because the administration side is what makes the builder side safe to deploy.

GitHub credentials, administered by Microsoft and taught from Official Microsoft Courseware. The certifications themselves stay GitHub-branded rather than Microsoft Certified. Worth knowing before you choose: GitHub Foundations is the only credential in this family that never expires, because Microsoft applies its fundamentals policy to it, while the other five renew on the usual two-year cycle.

The courses without an exam family of their own. Most of these teach the technology rather than a blueprint, which suits teams who need the skill on the job and are not chasing a credential: incident response has no exam behind it, and the certification covering Windows Server is the hybrid administrator credential in the AZ family above. MD-102 and MS-700 are the exceptions, real exams that earn Endpoint Administrator and Teams Administrator. Both are the last of their line, so neither has siblings to sit beside.

Training Camp runs the Microsoft catalog in eight tracks: Azure (AZ), Security (SC), AI (AI), Data (DP), Power Platform (PL), Copilot and Agents (AB), GitHub (GH), and a technologies track for courses with no exam family of their own. That spans Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) and Azure Administrator (AZ-104) at the infrastructure end through to Cloud and AI Security Engineer (SC-500), Fabric Data Engineer (DP-700), and the Copilot credentials. Azure Administrator is the most common starting point for cloud roles.
If you are new to the cloud, start with Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) to learn core concepts, no hands-on experience required. Then move to Azure Administrator (AZ-104) for real Azure administration skills. From there, specialize: Cloud and AI Security Engineer (SC-500) for the security path, Azure AI Cloud Developer (AI-200) for the development path, or Azure Network Engineer (AZ-700) for networking.
Yes. Azure Administrator is one of the most in-demand cloud certifications, validating the skills to manage Azure identities, governance, storage, networking, and compute. It is a strong entry point into cloud engineering, DevOps, and platform roles, and Azure is used across a large share of enterprises.
AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) is entry-level: it covers cloud concepts, core Azure services, pricing, and governance, with no hands-on requirement. AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) is associate-level and hands-on, validating the ability to actually administer an Azure environment. Most people take AZ-900 first, then AZ-104.
Both are retired. Exam AZ-500 and the Azure Security Engineer Associate certification retired on 31 August 2026, and Cloud and AI Security Engineer (SC-500) is the replacement, with no conversion path between the two. The AZ-204 exam and the Azure Developer Associate certification are retired as well, and the work that exam covered is now spread across the AI track, where Azure AI Cloud Developer (AI-200) is the closest equivalent. Anyone holding either credential keeps it until its own renewal date; the exams are simply no longer available to sit.
The exam is being renamed AB-400 on 16 October 2026 as Microsoft moves the developer credential into the Copilot and Agents family. It is a rename rather than a new exam, so the certification on the other side is the same one and our Power Platform Developer boot camp prepares you for it either way. Registration under the PL-400 code closes on 16 October 2026.
Yes. Microsoft retired most product-based exams in favor of role-based certifications, Administrator, Developer, Security Engineer, Data Engineer, and more, each mapped to a specific job function and the Azure services it uses. That is why exams are named for roles (AZ-104) rather than products.
Most role-based Microsoft certifications are valid for one year and are renewed for free through a short online assessment on Microsoft Learn. That keeps the credential current as Azure services change, so recertification is quick and does not require re-sitting the full exam.
Training Camp delivers Azure courses as accelerated boot camps, typically three to five days depending on the exam, with hands-on labs. Most candidates with some IT background prepare for a few weeks total, including the boot camp, before sitting the exam.
