This is incredible!! It would give people an option to be able to get their hands on learning experience first to assist with understanding the concepts on the paid certs. Thanks for sharing John! Youre the best!

This is awesome. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I like this! They just need some more! This can help prove skills rather than just the say you have the cert, as unfortunately some people have certs with very little real world experience.

This is great! The potential of practicing real cloud skills in an environment such as this is powerful. Thanks for raising the awareness John.

Thanks John! I got a new role and dont deal with Azure on a daily basis anymore, but you keep me informed and always keep it fun and simple. I hope I dont get left behind.

I think this is a great addition to the Azure/Microsoft Learning suite. Whilst I'm studying for my 104, I will try the pertinent skills prior to the exam as a further study and understanding aid.

Thank you for letting us know about this. This looks like it is a popular video already.

Thank you just did monitor and aks last week. This helps in articulating it to my team.

You're amazing! Ty I started learning Azure. it's a lot of fun. You have a peak excellence I hope to be like you one day.

I actually like these. After doing some azure labs in past I find the applied skills even more engaging and real & you have 2h only. Sometimes the VM, portal or command line blocks for no reason and for me as beginner is bad because I fail for not having sufficient time. But, then in 3 days I try again. Is good to try it for real and today I finally got the idea to read also MS learn modules in sync..when lab is frozen or I don't know what to do next:) so one actually has good chance to pass this test. I hope they stay for free. I wanted very much to try the Azure Monitor one but is retired already

Thank you for sharing I've done 4 of them already

Thanks John. This is great and will give this a go. Thanks for the great run through.

thanks for the update John, very useful as always. Surprised you did not score 100% on the applied skill you took though haha

I hope it stays free 😢❤

Very informative 🙏 Thanks

Thanks for another super informative and helpful video!

Great stuff! I just finished the applied skills for power automate and I'm looking forward to going through some of the others as well!

Always learning from your great tips John. Thanks for the updates.

Looking forward to sitting down and taking a few of these over the next week or so :D

Thanks for breaking it down John! Looks great :)

Hi John, had some coffee and just passed one of the applied skills: Secure storage for Azure Files and Azure Blob Storage. Great stuff, even though I have AZ-104, I still needed to work a bit. Have a great day!

Thanks John, it's very hard for me at the minute to take time out to go through the width and breadth of MSFT training via MSFT Learn, always feel like it's a uphill climb, somehow you always seem to make it seem just a little lighter load to carry on my trek, much appreciated, you always seem to instil a kind word, inspiration too, have a great weekend, am defo looking at doing a few of the Applied Skill courses, much appreciated!

Fantastic video. Liked, shared and subscribed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome thanks John😊

This is awesome!!! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!!

This sounds similar to gcp badges. It will be useful to show employers what you can do. It may help on the job front

Finally we have real labs.

This is quite cool! Also: It's FREE! Props to MS. Hopefully more will be added - I got new colleagues to train, this could be nice modules to have them work through =)

Whilst I understand certs are important and certainly more appreciated on a CV, I am just so bad with doing exams especially in a controlled environment, they're not my thing. I much prefer a practical exam. Would just having the functional skills on say your linked in be good even without the cert? I am currently working in a job where I am doing a lot of cloud stuff with Webapps and DBs on Azure in a real job to compliment with on my resume etc.

That's fantastic.. thanks for sharing

Whoa these are cool!

tried the secure workloads one - it was bizarre - instructions said provision stuff in West Europe, but everything already provisioned that I needed was in Australia region so it didn't plumb in correctly.

I did some of these, when the microsoft calculate the results for large sections with multiple tasks they only give a single pass/fail tick with no explanation of the fail reason, this is not very helpful as in a number of cases I could not work out why they would fail the task - please microsoft provide a little more explanation on a fail, e.g. misconfiguration, sequencing incorrect, missed step, etc

Thanks for this! You're a really solid content creator. Question: if you manage get a perfect score, can you still retry the assessment after 3 days? AWS actually already have something like this and I was like if Microsoft step up too, it would be really great.

Have had no luck on these. Completed one and got an error. Same for a colleague. Lots of complaints on the forum.

thanks!

That's an excellent shirt! Where's it from?

Are these worth doing when you're getting certificates? For example, will this amplify the 'impact' of i.e. getting an AZ-104 certification if you've done some Applied Skills relevant to the certification?

whered you get that shirt !

Bit of a downer here but just being curious - does a fail show in your transcript?
