Azure Course Blueprints

Each Blueprint serves as a 1:1 visual representation of the official Microsoft instructor‑led course (ILT), ensuring full alignment with the learning path.

This helps learners:

• see exactly how topics fit into the broader Azure landscape,
• map concepts interactively as they progress, and
• understand the “why” behind each module, not just the “what.”

Formats Available: PDF · Visio · Excel · Video
Every icon is clickable and links directly to the related Learn module.

Layers and Cross‑Course Comparisons

For expert‑level certifications like SC‑100 and AZ‑305, the Visio Template+ includes additional layers for each associate-level course.

This allows trainers and students to compare certification paths at a glance:

🔐 Security Path

• SC‑100 side‑by‑side with
  SC‑200, SC‑300, AZ‑500

🏗️ Infrastructure & Dev Path

• AZ‑305 alongside
  AZ‑104, AZ‑204, AZ‑700, AZ‑140

This helps learners clearly identify:

• prerequisites,
• skill gaps,
• overlapping modules,
• progression paths toward expert roles.

Because associate certifications (e.g., SC‑300 → SC‑100 or AZ‑104 → AZ‑305) are often prerequisites or recommended foundations, this comparison layer makes it easy to understand what additional knowledge is required as learners advance.

Azure Course Blueprints + Demo Deploy 

Demos are essential for achieving end‑to‑end understanding of Azure.

To reduce preparation overhead, we collaborated with Peter De Tender to align each Blueprint with the official Trainer Demo Deploy scenarios.

With a single click, trainers can deploy the full environment and guide learners through practical, aligned demonstrations.

 Benefits for Trainers:

Trainers can follow this plan to design a tailored diagram for their course, filled with notes. They can construct this comprehensive diagram during class on a whiteboard and continuously add to it in each session. This evolving visual aid can be shared with students to enhance their grasp of the subject matter.
