When stepping into the world of Microsoft technologies, one of the most common questions is: “Which Microsoft certification is best for beginners?” Whether you’re a student, career switcher, or aspiring IT professional, the right starting point can set the tone for a successful journey in tech. At Microtek Learning, we specialize in helping global learners make informed decisions about their learning paths.
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification is widely recognized as the ideal starting point for beginners. It is designed for individuals who have no prior cloud or technical experience but want to build a foundational understanding of cloud computing and Microsoft Azure services.
? No Prerequisites Required – Perfect for non-technical learners or those new to the IT industry.
? Globally Recognized – Validates your understanding of core cloud concepts and positions you for entry-level roles worldwide.
?? Covers Core Cloud Concepts – Learn about IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, Azure pricing, security, governance, and service offerings.

? Foundation for Advanced Certifications – Acts as a stepping stone toward more specialized Microsoft certifications like Azure Administrator (AZ-104), Security Engineer (AZ-500), and Solutions Architect (AZ-305).
While AZ-900 is the most recommended, your career interests may lead you to other foundational certifications:
Ideal for those interested in Microsoft 365 cloud services like Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Suitable for business users and non-technical professionals seeking to understand productivity and collaboration tools.

However, if your interest lies more in Microsoft 365, Power Platform, or Cybersecurity, then certifications like MS-900, PL-900, or SC-900 offer equally solid starting points.
