Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Basic knowledge of Azure administration and network configuration is required.

After this course, you will be able to manage Azure identities and governance, implement storage and provision Azure computing resources. You will be able to configure and manage virtual networks and monitor and secure Azure resources.

You will also learn how to work confidently with the object-oriented programming language C#.

(Specialist) computer scientists, IT and network specialists, people with practical experience and good knowledge in the IT sector (also career changers).

The globally standardized and recognized Microsoft certifications are among the most important manufacturer certifications with which you can improve your career prospects on the job market across all industries. Specialists with the relevant knowledge are in demand at both large and medium-sized companies.

C# is used to create innovative web and business applications. A professional approach to C# when programming in Microsoft environments is becoming increasingly commonplace.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
