What this course is

The data runway
for every Azure role.

DP-900 is Microsoft's foundational data certification. It is the fastest way for analysts, developers, DBAs and aspiring data engineers to prove they understand how data is stored, processed and governed in Azure — without jumping straight into coding-heavy DP-203.

At Nexperts, DP-900 is two intensive days with live Azure subscriptions. You will provision core services, load sample datasets, and connect Power BI to a semantic model so you see the full story from raw data to insight.

Too many teams hire 'Azure people' who cannot explain how their application data flows. DP-900 fixes that vocabulary gap in 48 hours.

We map every objective to Malaysian enterprise examples: retail loyalty data, banking transaction stores, and telco clickstream patterns.
