REPPED. I took the AZ-900 last time

PROTIP: plz sign up for a MSN email account, it is a lot easier. If u sign up with a gmail or yahoo email acct, they sometimes have issues sending the voucher after u attended the event.

Hey guys,

Where do you see the free cert. header or footnote on the page?

I've found it here [microsoft.com].

I took this last time and it felt like a marketing presentation. Never got the follow up emails with the free course either.

I'm also wondering what the use is. Isn't it just a part of their Azure marketing efforts? Like a certified evangelist they hope hard-sells their employer on moving to microsoft's cloud?
Pretty much. There's a war in the cloud going on right now between azure aws and gcp and the demand is high. Look at the salary of what an azure cloud advocate can earn. They connect developers with cloud solutions by making how to videos, meetups, build relationships with influencers in the tech field. Basically proselytizing the benefits of developing and coding in the cloud.

I'm trying for the az-500 security engineer as those roles are always in demand and I don't see it waning

Will it work for AZ-204 as well?
Nope, not after last year when people use 900 vouchers to clear 300/301.
Since june 2020 MS has become voucher-less. So your credit for <b> *-900 </b> is tagged to your email id used during event registration. You can not use that credit for higher exams.

My bro got hired by Microsoft at 18 after basically just doing web development and Java, c++, python programming as a hobby for a few years on an old PC
This is extremely unusual and absolutely not the norm in any way for any large corporation, even in IT, if indeed it was anything other than an internship.

Do I only get the Azure Fundamentals Certification Exam voucher? Or for example if I take Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Data Fundamentals, I get an Azure Data Fundamentals Exam voucher? namely if i take a different training, I will get a different voucher to a different exam?

Not really. I got the aws solutions architect associate and it really didn't help me. Employers only care about real world experience but you cant get it unless someone hires you. Its kind of a chicken and the egg thing.
This isn't true. As a hiring manager in cyber security, real world experience was important for senior roles, but for junior roles, I'd look for people who have shown enthusiasm about the career path. Certificates and education get you an interview, and if you don't get hired after an interview, it's not because you lacked the right certificates.

Yes, you will get a voucher for each training you attend. I have attended 3 so far, Azure fundamentals, AI fundamentals and the Azure Powerapps. I got vouchers for each of the exams.

I think I can add some value to this thread. Last year I worked on a gig where the solution should be deployed to Azure. We couldn't find anyone who had actual knowledge, most of the folks had Azure certification but no hands-on. So, I did it basically learned it while using it(no cloud experience before), then similar deal appeared for AZ-900(fundamentals cert) I took that training. And I can assure you it was everything but actual stuff that you would use from day 1 if you have to work on Azure. I am not against of Azure, I believe it is a great product and would recommend it to anyone but that Azure fundamentals cert is nothing but marketing fluff- they want to create azure evangelist or for the namesake more number of Azure certified folks(if there's any such metrics).

Edit: I attended the training but never bothered to give that exam for fundamentals as I realized it is nothing but making you sales/evangelist for the product.
