Overview and Schedule of Azure Fundamentals:

The Microsoft Learning Path shows 12 modules with just under 10 hours of videos. We recommend additional time each week to ensure you know the content. 

Here are the focus areas for each week. Our online meetings will be used to discuss and review the given content for that week as well as be an excellent accountability resource for you. You will need to self study and drive your own learning.
