Microsoft Certification Courses

Your exam is included. Every delegate on a course receives one Microsoft certification exam voucher for that course — AZ-900, AZ-104 or AZ-305 — to sit online or at a Pearson VUE test centre when ready. No separate purchase, and nothing added to the price you see. Courses run live online over Microsoft Teams, taught from Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courseware by a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT). At the end of the course every delegate also receives a Microsoft Learn achievement code, which records the completed official course on their own Microsoft Learn profile. Bam Cloud AI is enrolled in the Microsoft Training Services Partner Program (Partner ID 7138367).

Join an open online cohort. R2,950 per delegate for AZ-900 (one day); R8,950 per delegate for AZ-104 or AZ-305 (four days). Exam voucher included, and for AZ-104 the hands-on lab environment too. A date runs once 4 delegates have booked. Founding-cohort rate — held to 31 December 2026.

Train your team privately. Your own dates, your people only, up to 5 delegates — R11,500 per day: R11,500 for AZ-900, R46,000 for AZ-104 or AZ-305. An exam voucher for every delegate is included. Additional delegates are R1,450 each per day, voucher included; larger cohorts are quoted after a short call.

Prefer one-on-one? Certification coaching at R950 an hour works at your own pace, on your own gaps. Coaching is priced for the teaching alone — coaching clients book their exam directly with Microsoft.

Built around the exam skills outline, not a slide deck. Microsoft publishes the measured skills for every exam and revises them. Sessions follow that outline, in the weighting Microsoft gives it, so time is spent in proportion to what is actually assessed rather than in proportion to what is interesting to teach.

Hands on, in the cloud, on your side of the screen. Labs run in Microsoft's cloud, so all anyone needs is a browser and a stable connection. Two screens help — or a laptop and a phone — but nothing needs installing and no powerful machine is required.

Recorded, with follow-up material. Every session is recorded and comes with the follow-up resources for that topic, which matters most for the people doing this around a full-time job at seven in the evening.

Taught by someone who ran the estates first. Thirty years in enterprise infrastructure since 1996, most of it inside a large South African financial services group, before any of it became a training subject. The worked examples come from estates that existed rather than from a courseware scenario.

Delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer. MCT status is not decoration — under Microsoft's rules a trainer may only facilitate a course where they hold the matching certification. AZ-900, AZ-104 and AZ-305 are the ones held here, which is exactly why they are the ones offered and nothing else is.

The exam is included in every course. Open-cohort and private-group courses include one Microsoft exam voucher per delegate, at no extra charge. Coaching is priced for the teaching alone: coaching clients book and pay for the exam directly with Microsoft through Pearson VUE, at the published price for their country.

Timelines depend on where you are starting. Someone already administering Azure who needs AZ-104 structure and exam technique is usually weeks away. Someone coming from on-premises infrastructure with no cloud exposure is usually months. Anyone quoting you a fixed number of weeks without asking what you currently run is guessing.

Employers can often recover part of the cost. If your company's payroll exceeds R500,000 a year it pays the Skills Development Levy every month, and a fifth of that is claimable back against a compliant Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report. Certification training is exactly the kind of planned training those documents record. How the levy works — and what it does not require.

If a certification is not the right answer, you will be told. Sometimes the honest recommendation is a hands-on Applied Skills workshop instead — one focused day and a permanent Microsoft credential earned in a lab, with no written exam and no months of preparation.

Where. Courses and coaching run live online over Microsoft Teams, worldwide. Custom workshops can also run in person for corporate groups across Cape Town, the Western Cape and the rest of South Africa. Based in Durbanville; South African Standard Time is GMT+2.
