​Through Certiport’s full pathway solution you can prepare your students for the cloud computing workforce with tailored learning materials, practice tests, and certification exams officially endorsed by Microsoft. Candidates for this certification will be expected to have key conceptual knowledge of AI, Data Science, and Cloud Computing through at least 150 hours of instruction. Adding these materials into your curriculum is easy and seamless.

The Microsoft Certified Fundamentals exams are the pathway to fully understanding what cloud computing is, what options are available from Microsoft, and which options make sense for businesses to invest in. This set of exams is for students who are exploring a career in artificial intelligence, data science, and cloud computing. With the usage of big data and artificial intelligence on the rise, the demand for data scientists is not being met—and the gap is widening.
