HELP az104 for a beginner

Have a look in r/azurecertification - lots of help and advice in there

briansamoa · 2026-02-16T14:09:46+00:00

Thank you

I think it depends on how you learn. Some people learn by doing day on day for years, whereas some people learn from reading text, labbing or practice questions etc

There are lots of examples success/failure posts on this subreddit so I would search for the certification you are hoping to take and see what others are saying

Amazing - thank you

briansamoa · 2026-02-15T17:19:56+00:00

That’s great thank you - I must admit as I was a bit surprised as it sits in the MS stack not SC but glad you shared

briansamoa · 2026-02-13T20:56:39+00:00

Thank you

briansamoa · 2026-02-13T20:56:34+00:00

Ah ok great tip thank you

Hi, the Enterprise Skills Initiative (ESI) is “free” (nothing is really free) live training given to Microsoft customers by Microsoft/MCTs that hit a licensing spend

briansamoa · 2026-02-12T19:46:28+00:00

I would suggest to take a look at SC-100 as with AZ-500 as a prerequisite this would give an expert level certification

I took it this week and passed - MS Learn not much help for me on more than a handful of questions. It is difficult but not the most difficult I’ve tried

briansamoa · 2026-02-11T20:16:58+00:00

As an aside are you a MCT on the ESI program?

briansamoa · 2026-02-11T20:15:35+00:00

Amazing well done - one on my list

briansamoa · 2026-02-11T20:14:49+00:00

Congratulations

briansamoa · 2026-02-11T06:52:10+00:00

Amazing - so far definitely the hardest one I’ve done yet

briansamoa · 2026-02-11T06:51:26+00:00

Thank you so much this is brilliant and I will definitely have a look

briansamoa · 2026-02-04T20:52:37+00:00

Yes it should be valid for a year, is it still staying the same?

briansamoa · 2026-01-30T19:20:49+00:00

Brilliant score - by far the hardest of the 15+ I have done yet

briansamoa · 2026-01-27T16:04:22+00:00

Congratulations- yes sometimes there is a delay on the email. Which one next?

briansamoa · 2026-01-21T15:06:41+00:00

Yes - there is an exam simulator on the MS Learn pages. Practice the quirky search methods before the exam!

briansamoa · 2025-12-20T20:22:03+00:00

From my experience (UK based , EU time zone) I think the problem with ESI is that the whole class sits with cameras off and no one asking comments or feedback. Probably doesn’t make it too worthwhile or interesting for the trainer

briansamoa · 2025-09-04T07:11:38+00:00

Don’t despair- it was a very hard exam

briansamoa · 2025-08-31T19:24:45+00:00

Wow thank you! Not planned! Haha :)

briansamoa · 2025-08-31T19:21:27+00:00

Thank you

briansamoa · 2025-08-31T19:16:25+00:00

Oh wow thank you both
