AZ-305 · Azure Infrastructure · for teams
Certify your team on AZ-305 —
without the retake bill
Give your azure solutions architects unlimited, exam-realistic AZ-305 (Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions) practice. Each $165 USD retake you avoid more than pays for a seat — and every seat also unlocks all 25 Microsoft certs, so the same people can keep certifying as your needs grow.
Why teams certify staff on AZ-305
AZ-305 is the expert-level design cert that signals your team can architect — not just operate — Azure. For consultancies and Partners, an AZ-305-certified architect is often what closes larger engagements and justifies premium day rates.
It is a key contributor to the Solutions Partner for Infrastructure designation. Because AZ-305 has a high real-world failure rate, structured team practice has an outsized payoff on both pass rates and retake costs.
Partner relevance
AZ-305 contributes toward the Solutions Partner for Infrastructure (Azure) — so keeping staff certified helps protect your Microsoft partner designation and its co-sell benefits.

AZ-305 for teams — FAQ
AZ-305 has a reputation for being hard — does practice actually move the needle?
Yes. AZ-305 is scenario-heavy and time-pressured, which is exactly where unprepared candidates lose. Team members who complete multiple timed practice rounds consistently report fewer surprises on the design case studies, which is where most failures happen.
Do candidates need AZ-104 before AZ-305?
Microsoft recommends Azure administration experience first. Many teams have members earn AZ-104, then progress to AZ-305 on the same seat — no second license needed since every seat covers all 25 certs.
