Hi,
So my company moved to Hybrid set-up with Azure and Office 365 a few years back. I am admin and mostly worked with AD,DC, etc.. We have increasing number of VMs running on Azure and looking to fully move to Azure AD as well. Was looking to get some certs in O365/Azure field. Could you suggest where to start? I was looking currently at these ones in order:
1) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/azure-fundamentals.aspx
2) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/azure-administrator.aspx
3) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/m365-security-administrator.aspx
Please throw in your ideas, expecially looking forward to hear from already Azure certified folks :) Thank you.

Hi,
The Azure Fundamentals is surely the first certification you should start with.
After that it's up to you, I would recommend continuing with the AZ-103: Microsoft Azure Administrator.
Whizlabs have a pretty good Azure certification path, you can check it over here:

Hi! I know this post is relatively old, but it's the closest I can find to address a question that I have.
I know that brain dump sites (examples withheld) are considered cheating. However, what I am not sure of is whether Whizlabs is considered to be one of those sites. Can I use Whizlabs to prepare for my certification test, or would that be considered a brain dump site, and therefore cheating?
Thank you.
