Your Network Team Needs
Azure-Specific Skills

On-premises networking expertise doesn't automatically translate to cloud. Azure networking requires deep understanding of virtual networks, hybrid connectivity, and modern security patterns that are fundamentally different from traditional networking.

On-Prem Networking Doesn't Map to Cloud

Your network team is experienced — but Azure networking is fundamentally different. SDN, VNet peering, and NSGs need structured training. Without it, designs are inefficient, security is fragmented, and deployments stall.

Hybrid Connectivity Is Complex

Connecting on-premises to Azure securely via VPN and ExpressRoute requires deep understanding. Misconfiguration means outages, latency, or security gaps. Your team needs hands-on training to get this right.

Networking Specialists Are Scarce

Azure Network Engineer is one of the highest-demand, lowest-supply certifications. Teams with validated networking skills command premium. Certification differentiates your team and opens doors.

Who Is AZ-700 Designed For?

AZ-700 is built for networking specialists ready to master Azure — not just learn the basics. Hands-on labs, real-world scenarios, and expert instruction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AZ-700 Azure Network Engineer training with Bespoke.

AZ-700 is a 3-day (approximately 24-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.

Networking experience is recommended. AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) is helpful but not required. You should have a foundational understanding of networking concepts — VLANs, subnetting, VPNs, basic routing — and some experience with Azure administration.

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 skills development first.

Absolutely — in fact, that's how we deliver. All Bespoke courses are private, team-based sessions. This allows us to tailor examples to your infrastructure and ensure maximum relevance for your networking team. Minimum team size is 5.

AZ-104 is a broad Azure administration course covering all aspects of Azure management — compute, storage, networking, and more. AZ-700 is a deep-dive specialist course focused entirely on networking — virtual networks, ExpressRoute, load balancing, and security. AZ-104 is the foundation; AZ-700 is the networking specialist path.

Yes. AZ-700 includes a full module dedicated to ExpressRoute design and implementation, including circuit design, private and Microsoft peering models, ExpressRoute Global Reach, FastPath optimisation, and redundancy and disaster recovery patterns.

Pricing depends on team size, delivery format (virtual or onsite), and whether you include certification exam 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 — no obligation.

Networking fundamentals are strongly recommended. Understanding VLANs, subnetting, VPNs, and basic routing will help you get the most from AZ-700. If your team is new to networking, we can recommend foundational courses to bridge the gap.
