Experiential learning project

Learners will participate in interactive exercises throughout the program, offering opportunities to practice and apply what they learn. They use the Microsoft Learn Sandbox. This is a free environment that allows learners to explore Microsoft Azure and gain hands-on experience with live Microsoft Azure resources and services.

For example, when learning about data integration, transformation, and consolidation, you will work in a temporary Azure environment called a Sandbox or directly in the Azure portal. The advantage of this is that you will be working with real technology, but in a controlled environment, allowing you to apply what you have learned at your own pace.

You will need a Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you can create one for free. The Learn Sandbox provides free, temporary access to a cloud subscription without the need for a credit card. Learners can explore, create, and manage resources securely, without fear of costs or “production disruption.”
