Who it's for
Enterprise teams standardizing on Microsoft's AI/SQL stack with a budget for official training.
Who should skip it
Individual developers or anyone looking for self-paced, hands-on learning.
Pros
Official curriculum covering the entire Microsoft SQL AI ecosystem.
Covers vector search and embeddings within SQL Server and Azure SQL.
Leads to an official certification path.
Cons
Instructor-led format is expensive and inflexible for individuals.
Focus is on high-level design and platform capabilities, not hands-on coding.
Essentially a multi-day sales presentation for Microsoft products.
Nine days of slides. This isn't a course, it's a corporate hostage situation to sell you Fabric and Azure SQL. They walk you through the 'what'—vector search, embeddings—but the labs are just following a PDF. I could have gotten the same information from the product docs in an afternoon. Just glad the company paid for it. You're not building anything here.
