How much does it cost?

Typically $165 USD (may vary by country)

However, context is everything. It is estimated that 30-35% fail on their first attempt. Some estimates are 40-60% first time failure rate.

• Real-world Azure administration (not memorization)
• Troubleshooting scenarios
• Hands-on experience with networking, identity, and storage

That’s why many people underestimate it and fail initially.
