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 57 Microsoft certs, so the same people can keep certifying as your needs grow.
Why teams certify staff on AZ-305
AZ-305 is where 'operates Azure' becomes 'architects Azure.' For consultancies and Partners, one AZ-305-certified architect is often the difference between quoting a project and being trusted to design it — which shows up in day rates.
It's also a high-failure-rate exam in the real world, so structured practice pays off twice: fewer retakes, and steadier progress toward the Solutions Partner for Infrastructure (Azure) designation.
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.

The AZ-305 retake math
A failed AZ-305 attempt means another $165 USD retake — per person — plus lost time and a delayed designation. One avoided retake pays for a seat for a year; see the full per-seat pricing and cost breakdown on the Teams page.
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 57 certs.
