Start Here: Free Hands-On Azure Training

What This Collection Is

This is the free entry point to labITpro's hands-on training. Specifically, it's a curated set of foundational Azure labs from Azure instructor Thomas Mitchell, built to get you doing real administration tasks in a simulated Azure portal — no subscription, no cloud account, and nothing to set up.

Each lab is a skill drill: one focused task, fully guided with built-in audio and on-screen cues, so it feels like an instructor is walking you through every step while you move at your own pace. Run a lab once to learn it, then run it again the night before an exam.

Across the collection you'll deploy virtual machines, configure storage accounts, build and peer virtual networks, scale compute, and create users in Microsoft Entra ID. In other words, you'll practice the same everyday tasks IT professionals perform when managing Azure environments.

When you're ready to go beyond the basics, the All-Access Pass adds the Azure, Entra ID, and Active Directory Skillbuilder drills plus guided projects like Build a Knowledge Assistant with Microsoft Foundry and Building Redundant Cloud Solutions in Azure. In those projects, in-depth narration explains what you're doing and why as you build a working solution end to end.
