Azure Fundamentals

How can you use Microsoft Azure for geospatial data and GIS applications? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to use Azure services and Azure Maps to analyze and visualize geodata in the cloud. Through hands-on assignments and online modules, you’ll develop practical skills for efficient geospatial workflows.

Azure Fundamentals

Microsoft Azure is a powerful cloud platform specifically designed for managing and analyzing geospatial data. For GIS professionals, Azure offers tools to efficiently process, analyze, and visualize large amounts of geodata. With Azure, you can easily store, scale, and integrate geospatial data into various systems.

The Azure Fundamentals certification (AZ-900) provides foundational knowledge of cloud services such as virtual machines, storage, and networking. After completing this course, you will be well-prepared for the AZ-900 exam and can delve deeper into Azure.

Azure supports geospatial applications with Azure Maps, which makes it easy to integrate and visualize geodata. In addition, the platform offers scalable storage and computing power for analyzing large datasets and managing complex geo-ICT projects.

Geo-ICT Training Center, Nederland - Blended Learning Azure FundamentalsWhat will you learn in this Azure Fundamentals Blended Learning course?

In this course, you’ll discover how cloud computing is transforming the processing of geospatial data and how to use Microsoft Azure to store, manage, and analyze geodata. You’ll learn fundamental cloud concepts and advanced applications so you can effectively use Azure in your work.

You’ll learn to work with Azure Maps for visualizing and analyzing geodata. You’ll also discover how virtual machines are used for complex calculations and analyses of large datasets. Additionally, we’ll cover security aspects so your data is always processed securely and reliably—crucial when working with sensitive geospatial information.

Whether you use GIS software or perform geospatial analyses, this course helps you integrate Azure into your work processes. You’ll discover how to use Azure to make workflows more efficient and manage geodata faster and more effectively.

Why choose this blended learning course?

Blended learning combines self-paced online learning with hands-on, interactive sessions, so you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with Azure in geo-ICT. The online modules let you study at your own pace, while interactive classes teach you how to analyze geospatial data, use Azure Maps, and implement cloud-based GIS applications. With direct access to the course materials, you can review and practice the material at any time.

During practical online sessions, you’ll immediately apply the knowledge you’ve gained. You’ll work with real datasets and receive live guidance from experts on applying Azure services in geospatial analyses and GIS workflows. By working hands-on with realistic geo-ICT scenarios, you’ll learn to apply Azure effectively and develop the skills to manage geodata securely and efficiently.

The combination of flexible online learning and practical experience ensures that you not only understand the fundamentals of Azure but also apply them in real-world projects. Upon completion of the course, you will be ready to integrate Azure services into geospatial workflows and will have the knowledge to successfully pass the AZ-900 exam.

Frequently Asked Questions About Courses

After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.

If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

  • Blended learning, also known as hybrid learning, is an educational method that combines traditional face-to-face classes with online learning materials and interactive sessions. This approach offers students flexibility and control over aspects such as the time, place, and pace of learning, while allowing them to benefit from direct interaction with instructors and fellow students. ​
  • At the Geo-ICT Training Center in the Netherlands, blended learning is implemented by having students study largely independently, supplemented by scheduled interactive sessions with an instructor. During these sessions, students can ask questions and discuss complex topics, which fosters a deeper understanding of the course material. All Blended Learning courses begin with a 2-hour online session. The instructor delivers presentations and assigns various exercises and assignments to the student. The student can then work on these independently. After a few weeks, another one-hour online session follows.

If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.

You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

 

All courses are taught in person. Course hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Coffee, tea, lunch, and a laptop are provided.
