Explore Azure’s AI functionality and learn Python basics for machine learning
Offered through a collaboration with Microsoft, this microcredential will teach you the fundamentals of AI and provide you with the skills to design and build an AI solution using Microsoft Azure. We will prepare you for the Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI) certification; the cost of this microcredential includes vouchers for this exam.
Take your first steps towards an AI career
Artificial intelligence is one of the key drivers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Accordingly, artificial intelligence skills are frequently listed among the most in-demand workplace skills in the current and future job market, as organisations seek to harness AI to revolutionise their operations.
While in-demand tech skills are changing, employers are faced with a shortfall of qualified candidates.
On this microcredential, you’ll address this challenge by developing key AI skills that can serve as the first steps towards becoming an AI engineer, business analyst, or AI professional.
Build an AI solution with Microsoft Azure
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud-computing platform, used by more than 95% of Fortune companies.
As well as learning to use this advanced Azure AI functionality, you’ll get the latest Microsoft Azure training, gaining a detailed introduction to the core services on offer. These skills will boost your employability beyond just AI or machine-learning jobs.
Develop Python AI skills
Machine learning drives the predictive models at the heart of artificial intelligence. You’ll build key data science and machine learning skills, using the popular Python programming language.

New locations will be coming to the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland in the next year. This enormous network of infrastructure is part of the reason why the majority of Fortune companies trust Azure.
As more businesses flock to Microsoft Azure, demand for skilled cloud professionals is only going to increase. Right now, there’s nowhere near enough Azure talent around to fill the increasing number of roles on the market. Companies are battling to land the best candidates, driving up wages in the process, and putting those with the skills to do the job in a very comfortable position.
They say there’s no such thing as a job for life anymore, and in a fast-changing sector like tech, it’s certainly true that professionals need to keep upskilling throughout their careers to stay up to speed. But if you want to build a rewarding, lifelong career in tech, you need to get on board with cloud.
According to IDC, almost 40% of all IT jobs will be cloud-focused by Serverless computing is the new normal, and those who start equipping themselves with valuable skills now will make themselves irreplaceable for years to come.

What does an Azure Administrator do?
The role of administrator is a vital one across many technologies; admins keep their fingers on the pulse of their systems, installing, configuring, and monitoring everyday functions and ensuring everything is running as it should.
Azure Administrators need to have a good grip on topics like SQL databases, back up and disaster recovery, virtualization, high availability techniques to ensure their Azure platform is in top shape at all times. They’ll be expected to monitor the performance of Azure apps and services, perform audits, and proactively work to optimize functionality.
Admins often act as the bridge between Azure users and the technical team behind it, so they need to be able to communicate well with users of all experience levels.
As an Azure Admin, you might be working in-house at an end user organization, overseeing its own Azure products and leasing with users to help them get the most out of the services. Or, you could be working for a Microsoft Partner, providing managed services to their clients and working on a number of different Azure instances or providing support for businesses migrating to the cloud.
If you want to get a head start on your Azure Administrator career, Microsoft has released a brand new role-based certification, especially for those interested in this position.
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification verifies that you have the skills to perform the job efficiently, and tests your ability to implement, monitor, and maintain Microsoft Azure solutions. Expect to see exams questions on compute, storage, and security management, as well as deploying virtual machines, configuring virtual networks, and managing Azure Active Directory.
How much does an Azure Administrator earn?

| United States (USD) | $80, | $, | $, |
What does an Azure Developer do?
Azure Developers build and deploy apps and services on the Azure platform. Having previous development experience is obviously a plus if you want to become an Azure Developer, as is being familiar with other Microsoft products like Powershell, Office , and Dynamics ; all products that integrate with Azure.
As an Azure Developer, you’ll be charged with designing, creating, implementing, and maintaining solutions from technical infrastructure to apps. You’ll need to stay up to date with the latest developments in technologies and methodologies, and understand how to translate them into practical, reliable solutions that solve business problems.
Azure uses programming languages including JavaScript, C#, and HTML5, so you’ll need a thorough understanding of these to be able to develop for Azure. Experience with ASP.NET, SQL Server, JQuery, Angular, and Visual Studio Team Services will also be expected of Azure Developers.
Given the huge variety of products available on Azure, there’s a range of specialisms you could move into as an Azure Developer: developing for cloud storage, creating PaaS solutions, IaaS solutions, cognitive services like bots and AI, storage, or security to name just a few.

What does an Azure Solution Architect do?
Just like traditional architects, it’s a Solution Architect’s job to take specifications from end users and create a solution that meets the requirements given. In cloud terms, Azure Solution Architects are tasked with overseeing the structure and deployment of cloud environments.
That usually entails creating gathering requirements, determining a suitable infrastructure, designing applications, and configuring and securing the solution once it’s implemented. Budding Azure Solution Architects should have a good working knowledge of Azure compute, network, storage, and security.
Solution Architects will often be required to be the “cheerleaders” for the new cloud platform too. They’ll sell the cloud and its benefits to users, create adoption strategies to help them get the most out of it, and champion best practices.
The role of Solution Architect is both highly technical and consultative. SAs are the link between end users and the cloud teams that will build the solution, so need both hands-on experience with the Microsoft .NET stack, and excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

What does an Azure Consultant do?
When an organization is ready to take the first step toward a cloud-first approach to their operations, they speak to an Azure Consultant. Often called a Pre-Sales Consultant, these professionals chat to businesses, find out what they want to get out of their switch to the cloud, gain an understanding of their requirements, and map out the best possible solution.
Once they’ve worked out what their client needs, a consultant will go away and translate those needs into a practical plan, advising on the best products and services to achieve their goals, and creating a migration plan to help them execute the big move.
Though not as technical a role as say, developer or architect, Azure Consultants need to have a broad knowledge of Azure as a whole. Every client will have different needs and different objectives—whether that’s lowering costs, improving productivity, or tightening up security—so you’ll need to be able to advise on all these fronts to be a great consultant.
