Practice real skills in fully simulated environments — Azure, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and AI solutions built in Microsoft Foundry. Every lab guides you with audio and on-screen cues, and the project-based collections explain what you're doing and why as you work. Prepare for AZ-900, AZ-104, AZ-305, AI-901, AI-103, and more. No cloud bills. No hardware to stand up.
No credit card needed. No commitment required.
Other training platforms spin up a live Azure sandbox or a hosted Windows Server lab every time you practice — they're paying 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, the Microsoft Foundry portal, the Entra admin center, and the Windows Server consoles you'd use to manage Active Directory. You follow the exact same steps, configure the exact same services, and build the exact same skills you'd use on the job and 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, Microsoft Foundry, and Entra interfaces — and the Active Directory tools on Windows Server. Same UI, same workflows, same terminology. If you can do it here, you can do it at work.
From the cloud to the on-prem domain, the labs cover the tasks Microsoft admins do every day — 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 with in-depth audio explanations as you work — and 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.
Drill a single task until it's second nature, or build something real from start to finish — with support that goes with you either way.
Start free, or unlock every drill and project across Azure, Entra ID, Active Directory, and Microsoft Foundry.
From help desk analysts studying for AZ-900 to sysadmins sharpening Active Directory skills, solutions architects preparing for AZ-305, and AI engineers targeting AI-103.
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 learn Azure, AI, Entra ID, and Active Directory by doing — without paying for cloud resources or building a lab.
