How VNode delivers this
Who this is for, and how we run it
VNode ITeS delivers Azure Developer Associate as an MCT-led Microsoft program for Developer. Typical duration is 5 days (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Certification prep maps to AZ-204T00 without turning the week into a dump of Learn modules. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.
