My journey to acquiring microsoft certifications; Undertaking microsoft challenges on: Developing solution on Microsoft Azure and Artificial Intelligence Automation by @christnenye
Hello everyone, trust you'll are doing great? I am so excited to share this.
I am so passionate about technology, that I want to earn an industry-recongnized credential validating a digital skill which made me to take up the certification courses, also I am a final college student studying Computer science that adding digital certification to my college certificate gives me an edge over millions of graduate students in the labour industry.
The journey all started in May 2022 when a friend of mine shared in his watsapp status about him acquiring a certification on microsoft, of which I congratulated him and inquired from him the process and cost of getting similar certification but was surprised when he said it cost him nothing that what is required is me taking a challenge after which I will be qualified to take a certification exam.
It was such a good opportunity to grab as I asked him to help me register which he did by sending a link across to access the challenge, but to take up the challenge one need to have a profile on microsoft where email address is required sign up which will validate a candidate's for the challenge and where one will be notified on other activities on microsoft.
To participate in the challenge, one need to register on microsoft and take up a course on any of the listed microsoft courses, any chosen course has the following.
- modules
A module is a distinct assembly of components that can be easily added, removed or replaced in a larger system. Generally, a module is not functional on its own.source
The challenge requires on to finish up all the modules to earn the free certification.
knowledge check After each module a knowledge test is used to text the candidates understanding on a particular module.
summary At the end of each module, a summary of the whole modules is given after which one enters another module
how each module looks
To qualify one has to complete the whole modules in a particular course on or before a stipulated time before he/she will be qualified to write an exam that will earn the certification.
I participated in the challenge, and got one certification exam associated to my profile of which I have the exam on the challenge I took which is my first cloud certification exam of Developing solution on Microsoft Azure on 29th October 2022. This certification will validate my knowledge on cloud computing and website hosting on microsoft Azure. This particular certification cost $80 on microsoft but because I took the challenge it was given to me free of charge.

Recently, a message was sent to my email of another interesting challenge on Microsoft ignite and after going through the various listed courses I chose Artificial intelligence Automation
my confirmatory message of the AI automation that will make me eligible for another certification
After I am done taking the challenge, the voucher for the certification exam will be mailed to me then I can be able to schedule for the AI certification exam.

My undertaking on microsoft challenges to earn certification has been mind blowing and the best I have ever undertaken because this one is gotten without any single penny(free of charge).
Professional certifications has many outstanding benefits that one cannot look down on or neglect, because it makes one to command authority over peers, makes one have an improved resume.
This is my experience so far, I really appreciate my friend who uploaded it on his status that made me see the opportunity and grab mine though I pray that I pass my upcoming exams.
