Build and practice real Microsoft Azure skills in a fully simulated lab environment — from core infrastructure to AI solutions built in Microsoft Foundry. Prepare for AZ-900, AZ-104, AZ-305, AI-900, AI-102, and more — without spending a cent on cloud resources.
No credit card needed. No commitment required.
Other Azure training platforms spin up a live Azure sandbox every time you practice — they're paying Microsoft for cloud compute on your behalf and passing that cost along as $30–$60/month subscriptions. Cancel and lose access. Keep subscribing or fall behind.
labIT PRO uses HTML5 simulations that faithfully replicate the Azure portal and the Microsoft Foundry portal. You follow the exact same steps, configure the exact same services, and build the exact same skills that appear on the exam. No cloud compute means no ongoing bill — and no surprise charges for model deployments or AI tokens.
Our labs mirror the real Azure and Microsoft Foundry interfaces — same UI, same workflows, same terminology used on the exam. If you can do it here, you can do it in Azure.
Labs map directly to Microsoft certification objectives so you're not just memorizing — you're doing.
Not a grab-bag of disconnected tasks. One project, twelve labs, and a working knowledge assistant at the end of it.
You'll play the engineer building Contoso's IT help desk assistant in Microsoft Foundry: deploy a chat model, shape its behavior in the playground, ground it on real policy documents, save it as an agent, connect a knowledge base and web search, then evaluate, secure, monitor, and publish it to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Every step runs in a simulated Foundry portal — no Azure subscription, no model deployment fees, no token costs. Just the same clicks, the same screens, and the same decisions you'd make on the job.
Every hands-on Azure lab is built to move you beyond memorization — into genuine, job-ready understanding.
Start free or go deeper with the Skillbuilder and Microsoft Foundry collections — all built around real certification objectives.
From help desk analysts studying for AZ-900 to solutions architects preparing for AZ-305 and AI engineers targeting AI-102.
I passed AZ-104 on my first attempt. The labs walk you through the real portal experience. I recognized every screen on exam day.
I couldn't justify a $40/month subscription on a help desk salary. labIT PRO gave me the same hands-on practice at a price that actually made sense.
The explanations built into every step are what set this apart. I didn't just learn what to click. I actually understood what I was doing.
Join thousands of IT professionals using labIT PRO to prepare for Microsoft Azure and AI certifications — without paying for cloud resources.
