This learning path is designed to help you prepare for the AZ-304 Microsoft Azure Architect Design exam. If you pass both of the AZ-303 and AZ-304 exams, then you will earn the Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification.

The AZ-303 and AZ-304 exams replace the older AZ-300 and AZ-301 exams, which will retire on September 30, 2020. These two exams are part of Microsoft’s role-based certification program. Candidates who pass both exams will earn the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification.
