Your Team Is Managing Azure.
But Are They Architecting It?

Leadership needs infrastructure solutions that scale, perform, and meet compliance requirements. Without architectural design skills, your team deploys workloads without strategy.

Building Without a Blueprint

Teams deploying Azure workloads without proper architectural design. Result: security gaps, cost blowouts, and solutions that don't scale.

Admin Skills ≠ Architecture Skills

Your team can manage Azure resources but can't design multi-tier, multi-region solutions that meet enterprise requirements for resilience and security.

Expert Certification Commands Premium

AZ-305 validates the strategic design skills that organisations pay premium for. Without it, your architects lack the credential that clients and employers expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect training with Bespoke.

AZ-305 is a 4-day (approximately 32-hour) live instructor-led course. It's delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer, so your team can attend virtually from anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore — or we can deliver onsite at your office.

AZ-104 or equivalent Azure administrator experience is strongly recommended. AZ-305 assumes you already understand Azure fundamentals and can manage resources at scale.

Certification exam vouchers can be included as part of your team program. We'll discuss the right approach during your discovery call — some teams want everyone to certify, others focus on capability building first.

Absolutely. All Bespoke courses are delivered as private, team-based sessions. This allows us to tailor examples to your industry and ensure relevance for your team. Minimum team size is 5.

AZ-104 is hands-on day-to-day Azure administration. AZ-305 is strategic architectural design — you learn to design enterprise-scale solutions aligned with business requirements, governance, resilience, and security. Most teams send technical staff through AZ-104 first, then progress to AZ-305 for architects and leads.

Yes. Microsoft's Well-Architected Framework principles underpin every design decision in AZ-305. You'll learn to apply WAF pillars (cost optimisation, operational excellence, performance efficiency, reliability, security) to real infrastructure problems.

Pricing depends on team size, delivery format (virtual or onsite), and whether you include certification vouchers. Every engagement is tailored to your needs. Book a free 30-minute discovery call and we'll provide a quote based on your specific requirements.

Yes. AZ-305 is the expert-level pinnacle of the Azure infrastructure certification path. After AZ-305, you can pursue specialist certifications (like AZ-700 for networking) but AZ-305 is the highest general infrastructure credential.
