Microsoft has launched three new courses in its Microsoft Azure Connected Learning Experience (CLX) programme to help data professionals develop new skills. The courses are in Data and AI and are described as personalized, self-paced, and include certificates to show you’ve completed them.

An overview of the courses is presented in the table below:


One of the great things about the courses is that they’re personalized. You’ll initially take a 20-question Knowledge Assessment that will work out if you can skip over any material. This will help you use your time more efficiently so you can move on and earn those certificates. With the assessment out of the way, you’ll be able to engage in interactive labs to develop your understanding of the course materials, participate in virtual cram sessions, and then complete a practice test.

With all that out of the way, Microsoft will hand you a certificate of completion as well as a 50 per cent discount off the cost of the Microsoft Azure Certification Exam. To get started with these courses, you’re encouraged to head over to the Microsoft Cloud Events Portal.
