Course Overview
The Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) course is a 4-day, instructor-led programme designed to equip IT professionals with the practical skills required to implement, manage, and monitor an organisation's Microsoft Azure environment. Covering the full breadth of the official exam domains — from identity and governance to virtual networking and data protection — this course aligns precisely with Microsoft's latest exam outline and prepares candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is tailored for Azure Administrators, Cloud Engineers, and Systems Engineers who work with Azure infrastructure on a day-to-day basis. Participants will gain hands-on experience through lab exercises that mirror real-world scenarios commonly encountered in enterprise environments across the GCC and Asia-Pacific regions. Delegates are expected to have a solid foundation in operating systems, virtualisation, cloud infrastructure, storage, and networking before attending.
What Will You Achieve?
By the end of this course, delegates will be able to confidently manage Azure Active Directory identities and role-based access control, deploy and administer virtual machines, configure virtual networks and DNS, implement storage solutions, and enforce governance through Azure Policy and resource locks. This course directly maps to the five official exam domains and provides the knowledge and confidence needed to pass the AZ-104 certification exam and excel as an Azure Administrator in any cloud-centric organisation.
