Free official resources

What to know

• Study guide for Exam AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Official skills-measured outline; updated 2025-12-16.
• Microsoft Azure Fundamentals free learning-path series (AZ-900): Part 1 of a free 4-path self-paced series that fully covers AZ-900. The instructor-led AZ-900T00 course is separate and paid.
• AZ-900 Practice Assessment (official, free): Official free interactive practice assessment; sample questions are delivered here, not as a PDF.

The free path, in order

1. Start from the exam objectives / outline — it is the exact list of what the exam tests, and it is free. Study against it, not against a course's table of contents.

2. Work the free official course(s) above to build the skills, and use the official free practice where it exists to check yourself.

3. The exam fee is the one cost you cannot avoid — see what it costs to earn and keep.

Free resources reduce what you spend to study; they do not reduce the exam fee and do not guarantee a pass. A course is not the certification.
