Microsoft Azure courses in Damascus
Learn to run, secure and design workloads on Microsoft's cloud, step by step from AZ-900 to the associate and expert certifications, taught in Arabic with English materials, so you can train and sit your exam in Damascus.
Why learn Azure
Many organisations in the region already run their email, identity and files on Microsoft 365, and Azure is where that same estate extends into servers, databases, networking and AI. Because Microsoft Entra ID sits underneath both, an engineer who understands Azure can manage users, devices and cloud workloads as one environment rather than three separate ones.
Azure skills also travel with you. Remote roles, regional employers and relocation programmes ask for the same role-based certifications everywhere, so what you learn in Damascus is recognised wherever you apply. The certifications are organised by job role (administrator, developer, security engineer, architect), which makes it easy to choose a direction and see what comes next.
The Azure path, step by step
Most learners start with the fundamentals and then choose one role-based route. You do not need to follow every route; pick the one that matches the work you do or want to do.
- Start with Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900): cloud concepts, core Azure services, pricing and governance. No prior cloud experience needed.
- Administrator route: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), covering identities, storage, virtual machines, networking and monitoring.
- Developer route: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204), for building and connecting applications with Azure services.
- Security route: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), for protecting identities, networks, data and workloads.
- Architect route: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, earned by holding the Administrator Associate and passing AZ-305.
- DevOps route: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, earned with AZ-104 or AZ-204 plus AZ-400.
- Data side path: Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900), for those moving towards data work on Azure.
- Staying current: associate and expert certifications are renewed each year through a free online renewal assessment from Microsoft; Fundamentals do not expire.
How we teach Azure
Choose the format that suits your week. Classes run in person at our centre in Mazzeh Western Villas, as live online sessions with the same trainer and timetable, or as a private programme for your team, scheduled around your operations and focused on the services you actually use.
Instruction is in Arabic and the materials are in English, so you understand the concepts properly while learning the exact terms you will meet in the Azure portal, the documentation and the exam. Each module pairs explanation with practical walkthroughs of the portal and the command line, followed by exam-style questions in the weeks before you test.

No. AZ-900 assumes no cloud background. Basic familiarity with computers and networks helps, and we will advise you on the right starting point after a short conversation about your experience.
Choose AZ-104 if you manage infrastructure, users and networks, and AZ-204 if you write code. Both can lead on to an expert certification later.
