Uk2020: Good day everyone! I need advice, particularly from the tech gurus in the house. I just got an offer for a 10 week Microsoft Azure Cloud Engineer training programme.
It costs £1950. Includes 2 certification exams Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals and Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 It's instructor led and comes with a lot of projects and course assessments. I am told, I am guaranteed 2 interviews with prospective employers.
Is this a good offer? Is there a sizeable demand for Azure Cloud Engineers, is this an investment worth £2000? Are there better alternatives, e.g., AWS, etc.
Thanks in advance...
Long story short, its too expensive. Worth it? Maybe relative
Bottom line is what they will teach you for £2000 can be found online on Udemy (if you can pay for courses) or torrent (If you are looking to save money ) and Youtube for free
During the lockdown, Microsoft was literally handing out free vouchers to people for attending their official trainings online - I got like 10 free vouchers and even dashed some out
You can also learn free on Youtube - there are tons of free resources on there, na you go tire. Check out Azure Academy on Youtube, subscribe to them or follow this playlist -
Azure Fundamentals is entry level, very easy to grasp as long as you have some interest. Azure Admin is relatively harder than Azure fundamentals but it can be done
You can apply what I have said above too, or pay for Udemy videos with a defined Azure Admin part, pay for those ones with 4.5 stars and above like Scott Duffy etc
Is this a good offer? Hell No. Na person like me them go say make I train you sef
Is there a sizeable demand for Azure Cloud Engineers? Yes. especially in devOps / Security / Office 365
For devOps sef, job go tire you and they pay very well. I have seen plenty £65,000 on LinkedIn and occasional £100K (DevOps is not easy but it can be done. Even naija boys for my office wey dey do join man job dey cash out 500 - 1.2M per month off devOps)
is this an investment worth £2000? No You can invest literally $0 if you use Youtube and Microsoft Learning. A few 100 bucks if you use Udemy (Udemy content creators update their videos so you are more up to date with the technology)
Are there better alternatives, e.g., AWS, etc. Yes, if you understand Azure, AWS wont be all that hard for you as they are mostly same but with different names for their services. AWS also did offer free trainings during the lockdown and a voucher. Got their voucher and passed their cloud practitioner exam
AWS is more developer inclined and as it seems you have some frontend experience, you will probably like it. AWS has the most market base out of all the 3 Cloud giants though but Azure is more user friendly, easy to use
Google's GCP is also another alternative and they seem to pay well cos many people dont look at their side like the 2 Cloud giants in Azure/AWS
You can DM me if you need further guidance; free of course
Do you have any experience in tech? Who’s the provider of this service?
Also note that interview guarantee is different from job guarantee. I’ll suggest you ask more questions so you know your prospects if you do go ahead with the certification course.

DubaiLandLord1: Is just as if we no get Government for this country, what is happening gan gan sef?
If person come out and scream he wants this country divided, the FG will handle the person with iron fist, life is becoming unbearable for the average Nigerian, yet nobody is saying or doing anything.
In Nigeria, the unity is the most important thing, no matter how terrible things dey go.
Shey nah like this things go dey go?
Come back to this post in 5 yrs and you will be begging for this same price cos it will be x7 of the price it currently is
Na only Nigeria past dey better future. Country wey dey in reverse SMH
Be like say na war go later make all man go them seperate ways
babakb: I can see that you said what you said in good faith and I came so hard on you with insults, I am very sorry for my tone and I appreciate your maturity.
My point is we can't undo what happened 200 years ago but we can make the best use of our times, Let's stop thinking about how racists the white men are and their tendencies and let's start thinking of how to benefit from the current global system as africans.
Some of us will remain in Africa to keep building it. Some of us will have to Immigrate legally to rest of the developed world to connect it with africa in that manner we can easily: Transfer modern technology to africa. export agricultural products to developed countries. export gold and mineral resources to developed countries.
We should remain focused and not get distracted with the racism rhetoric, as long as the white governments allow me to immigrate there legally, I won't care if anyone calls me a monkey, I will focus on my goals and grind.
marvelife: Hello house, good morning. As we all know that studying in UK is expensive and by so doing we must choose a course that has future potential.
Please what's your take on this course MA Education (management and leadership)? Who's in for teesside university also
You're the typical slave but you don't know, the white man has succeeded in making animals like you obsessed with the thaughts of slavery and racism while they keep inventing and advancing their technology globally.
NOC1: If you clearly read the whole news, you will agree with the UK embassy that the guy is not working with the company or he is an illiterate.
Furthermore, you were initially unable to state the correct names of the current Chairperson and Managing Director of Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd. This is something a Head of Operations would know. You were also unable to describe the core values and mission of Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd as described on its website.”
If i am the owner of the organization I will sack him on getting this report, this shows he is incompetent and he does not believe in the organization. He is not an ambassador of the company.
Just tell me how a head of operations can’t answer this questions? Is funny, head of operations is part of every activity and he knows all management staffs.
Marytee2: From reading trends here, I understood people usually highlight that VO always want you to explain if there was a large deposit into your account which was not your salary. Also, they don’t always like you to spend more than double of your disposable income for a visit/holiday. Declaring you will spend £2,500 for a 2 weeks trip which amounts to spending nearly your 5 month’s salary to the UK to attend someone’s wedding is a red flag to them.
For wedding o.
How important is that person to you that you're willing to spend 5 months of your salary just to spend 72 hrs with them
zeezaa: Until you hear the 2 honest sides of story then we can conclude but I tell you, no woman will waste their time and effort to bring a man here and decide to throw him out in under 3yrs.
It is either it is forced out of her or she is doing it as a revenge. As if you don't know that marriage is the pride of most Nigerian women, but for a woman to kick the father of her kids out of the house and the man said he has not done anything?. Please tell me another story
Women and accountability
It's always the fault of someone or something else or their horoscope or hormones or Buhari
I always say if women had 70% the strength of men, they'd be killing men for sport
If you check online, it's always women kicking Nigerian men out of their home.. Always..
The game is the game sha.. Wahala for who no get Plan B and C in advance when dealing with women
tajmal: Your study gap isn't any issue for UK VISA. And there are a lot of schools in the UK to study. I think it is your tuition budget that plays a huge role in school selection. But why would you want to switch from Computer Science? I think it is the new oil and has a lot of job opportunities in the UK.
