Confidence makes you a good presenter. So, what gets you confidence? It is information, the more you know… the more you build the confidence.

Let me write today my story how I developed presentation skills. Now a days I do lot of presentations to clients across the world. It is mostly around technical stuff predominately around Azure which is obvious as I am an Azure Architect. If I look few year back, I used to get nervous about it. Over the time especially after I moved in to DXC Azure team, I have been given lot of opportunity present in front of internal as well as client senior leadership. Initial days I struggled bit as I was in the hands of fear which we can call it as stage fright.

It was almost 2 years of break from the MS certifications before I tried AZ-500 early this week, it was an interesting one. It was the first MS certification I have ever appeared with hands on lab though it was bit of a surprise. I thought of sharing my experience on exam which might be helpful if you are trying get this certification.

The exam is total 3 and half hours with 3 hours of exam time. I suggest you to go through exam skills outline before you starting the preparation. I started with course in the Linux Academy. I found it is especially good for Azure Active Directory as it covers all the features of AAD that is part of P2. The course covers almost all the subject required for the exam for us to start preparing for the exam. However, don’t stop it there… we need to deep dive in to each subject with MS documentations. Importantly, you need to do lot of hands-on for each topic described in the exam skills outline.
