How it works

What gets you through the exam.

Eight live sessions. 1.5 hours each. We teach what the exam actually tests — including the prerequisites most courses skip.

Prerequisites covered first
Microsoft's training assumes knowledge it doesn't teach. Session 1 closes those gaps before the exam content starts.
Live instructor every session
A real MCT on every call. Ask anything — in plain English. No slide-reading, no scripts.
Hands-on in the Azure portal
You click through the services and run labs before you're tested on them.
Practice exam before the real one
Timed mock in session 5. Instructor debrief. You know exactly where you stand before you book the exam.
Azure portal live session
Why 1.5 hours changes everything

No full days off. No 5-day bootcamp. Fits your life.

"I'd need to take a full day off work."
Sessions are 1.5 hours. Schedule them around your morning, evening, or lunch break.
"I can't afford a £5,000 bootcamp."
$265. No hidden fees.
"I've tried self-study. It doesn't stick."
Live instructor every session. Real Azure portal labs. Practice exam with debrief. 95% pass rate.
What you walk away with

Pass the exam. Get the cert. Move forward.

Pass rate on first AZ-900 attempt across Cotec cohorts.
  • Pass AZ-900 — first attempt if you're starting fresh, next attempt if you've failed before.
  • Add "Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals" to your LinkedIn. The cert recruiters and managers look for.
  • Know what the exam actually tests — applied understanding, not just memorised facts. Most courses get this wrong.
  • Break into IT, or move up inside it. AZ-900 is the foundation for AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-305 and the full cloud career path.
  • Get there in 3 weeks without taking a day off work or spending $5,000 on a bootcamp.

Why Cotec works

Why most AZ-900 training leaves you unprepared.

AZ-900 has a high failure rate. Most courses drill facts. The exam tests understanding. Here's what we do differently.

Prerequisites covered
Microsoft's training assumes knowledge it doesn't teach. We cover those gaps in session 1 — so nothing on the exam comes out of nowhere.
Trains for understanding
AZ-900 tests applied scenarios, not just what you remember. Ex-Microsoft, IBM, EY instructors who know how Azure actually works — not just what's on the slide deck.
Guided hands-on labs
Real Azure portal, real scenarios. You click through what you'll be tested on — not just a video of someone else doing it.
Guaranteed pass
Attend all sessions, sit the practice exam, and don't pass AZ-900 first time? Retake the next cohort free.

The curriculum

Eight Microsoft modules. Eight sessions. One certification.

Microsoft's official AZ-900 exam blueprint, taught in full by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Public, private and hybrid cloud. Regions, availability zones, and the shared-responsibility model. The mental model behind every Azure decision you'll make from this point on.
Subscriptions, management groups, resource groups, and the Azure portal. Where everything lives, who can touch it, and how the platform is organised under the hood.
Virtual machines, App Service, containers, virtual networks, load balancers, VPN. The bread and butter of any cloud workload.
Blob, file, queue and table storage. Hot vs cool vs archive tiers. Pick the right storage for any workload without overspending or underbuilding.
Microsoft Entra ID, multi-factor authentication, conditional access, role-based access control. The "who can do what" layer behind every secure Azure environment.
Pricing calculator, total cost of ownership, Azure Advisor, budgets and alerts. Reading a cloud invoice — and knowing when to question it.
Azure Policy, blueprints, resource locks, tags. How large organisations stay in line — and how auditors check that they have.
Azure Monitor, Service Health, the Azure mobile app, CLI and PowerShell. How you actually run Azure day-to-day — and how you spot something breaking before it does.

Real words from Cotec alumni

From the engineers who sat the seat you're about to take.

"

I loved the course because my trainer was knowledgeable and helped me understand something I couldn't get my head around through self-learning.

Tom
DevOps Engineer · Azure DevOps cohort
"

I used to hate certification exams, it was the lack of confidence and procrastination that held back my performance. When I come to an exam prep day I know I'll work hard, have fun, get more confident and more likely than not, walk out of the test centre that day with a good passing mark.

Before you enroll

The questions everyone asks.

No. AZ-900 is the entry-level Microsoft credential. The first module rebuilds the cloud concepts from scratch. If you've used a file in the cloud, you have enough to start.
AZ-900 is the foundation — it gets you the vocabulary and the first credential. For a full role switch, most people pair it with AZ-104 (Administrator) or AZ-204 (Developer) within 3–6 months. We'll show you the path on day one.
No. The $265 covers the full course — sessions, labs, practice exam, and support. The AZ-900 exam voucher (~$165) is purchased separately directly from Microsoft.
Attend all sessions, sit the practice exam, and don't pass AZ-900 on your first attempt — you retake the next cohort free. Dan will also walk you through your exam report to identify the gap.
Yes — AZ-900 is issued by Microsoft and recognised globally. It's the credential employers and recruiters search for on LinkedIn as proof of cloud literacy.
Yes. We issue a company invoice in 24 hours with VAT, your employer's trade licence reference, and AZ-900 line items. Email info@cotec.uk or message us on WhatsApp and we'll send the invoice template the same day.
Yes. Whole-team bookings get a per-seat rate. WhatsApp us with the headcount and we'll come back with a quote within the day.
A laptop and a stable internet connection. We walk you through the Azure free-tier setup in the first session — nothing to install beforehand.
Sessions are scheduled in UK time (GMT/BST). Exact days and times confirmed on enrolment — we typically run sessions twice a week, including options that work across UAE, India, and US time zones.
Full refund up to 7 days before the cohort. Within 7 days, we move you to the next cohort at no charge.
