Why Choose This Course

Microsoft AZ-104T00 – Microsoft Azure Administrator is an instructor-led course that prepares learners to implement, manage, and monitor Azure environments across identity, governance, storage, compute, networking, and backup. The curriculum follows the current AZ-104 skills measured, ensuring coverage of core services such as Microsoft Entra ID for identity, Azure Policy and role-based access control for governance, virtual networks and hybrid connectivity, storage accounts and data security, virtual machines and scale sets, and Azure Monitor with backup and recovery practices. The emphasis is on practical configuration and administration tasks that align with real workplace responsibilities.

For professionals in Australia looking to develop Azure capability, this training helps you learn how to configure secure access, design resilient network topologies, deploy compute at scale, and maintain operational visibility. These skills are in demand across sectors adopting cloud platforms for scalability and cost control, and they support progression into roles such as Azure administrator or cloud engineer. You will work through hands-on exercises using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Resource Manager templates to apply concepts in a structured way.

The course balances foundational knowledge with applied scenarios—such as implementing private connectivity, securing storage with appropriate access models, and configuring monitoring to track performance and costs—so you can prepare effectively for the AZ-104 certification while gaining job-ready skills. It also addresses hybrid connectivity, disaster recovery planning, and policy-driven governance to meet common enterprise requirements. A certificate of course attendance is included.

Prerequisites

Successful Azure administrators typically begin with experience in virtualization, networking, identity, and storage. Recommended knowledge includes:
- Understanding of on-premises virtualization technologies (virtual machines, virtual networking, virtual hard disks).
- Understanding of network configuration (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs), firewalls, and encryption technologies.
- Understanding of Active Directory concepts (users, groups) and role-based access control.
- Understanding of resilience and disaster recovery, including backup and restore operations.
