Is it real mandatory to pass AZ-104 before I can take AZ-305?
I see bit confusing data around the learn portal and the forum, so asking this again. Is it real mandatory to pass AZ-104 before I can take AZ-305? Or is that just a recommendation/ guidance only? ...
- Jun 12, 2024No, you need both AZ-104 and AZ-305 to gain the Solution Architect certification.
You can sit them in either order
Microsoft Expert level certifications require you to have an Associate level certification. See Certification Prerequisites on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/azure-solutions-architect/

Julian_Sharp thanks for the reply. What do you mean by you can sit in either order? What happens if someone sits for AZ-305 first? They don't get their certification ID for the completion? If you can elaborate this bit more, that'd be great. Thanks.
- Julian_SharpJun 12, 2024Learn ExpertThere is no restriction as to which order you can take exams.
If you pass the AZ-305 exam first without passing AZ-104 you will not get a certification.
If you then pass the AZ-104 exam you will bet both the Azure Administrator Associate and the Azure Solution Architect Expert certificatoins- sudarsan10Jun 12, 2024Copper ContributorThanks
