About Course
About AZ-305 Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Training
The tricity's business model is operational: it hosts the processes that large enterprises have moved out of their own buildings. Business support centres, insurance and claims operations, and enterprise shared services sit alongside IT campuses that support the same clients. The pharmaceutical and government estates nearby add regulated requirements to an otherwise service-oriented market.
Architecturally this produces a specific need. The work is about estates that serve many business units, where the design decisions are about data boundaries and operational ownership rather than novelty, and the local employer expectation is that you will be accountable for a running service on day one.
This Chandigarh page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour AZ-305 Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Training syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.

Course Overview
12-week AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect training at SkilBrill: identity, storage, networking, resilience, cost governance and AZ-305 exam practice.
Why Learn AZ-305 Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Training
Support centres here expect architects to own a running service immediately, which is a rare opportunity for a candidate who wants operational experience early.
Data boundary design across many business units is the local specialty, and it is a skill that travels to any regulated industry.
Insurance and claims operations hire for continuity under seasonal peaks, and that work is steady and well paid.
Who Should Join This Course
- Azure Administrators moving into design — You run the tenancy already and want the decisions that shape it
- Cloud Consultants and Pre-sales Engineers — You need a defensible design to put in front of a customer or bid team
- Enterprise and Technical Architects — You set the guardrails a platform team then implements
- Fresh Graduate Trainees — You are targeting architect-track roles that open at the entry level in services firms
- Developers who have been asked to design — You now own the shape of a system rather than only its code
- Solution Architects in Infrastructure Vendors — You translate a customer constraint into an Azure landing zone
Prerequisites
This course assumes you can already operate Azure day to day. You should be comfortable creating resource groups, deploying a virtual machine, attaching a managed disk and reading activity logs, because the AZ-305 exam never asks you to do those things: it asks you to choose between designs. Microsoft also requires the Azure Administrator Associate credential, AZ-104, before it will issue the Solutions Architect Expert badge. If you have not sat AZ-104 yet, take that course first or run through the administrator fundamentals in the first two modules here, because every scenario in this course assumes a working tenancy and a defined identity boundary.
Learning Objectives
- Design an identity boundary that separates workforce, customer and workload access on Microsoft Entra ID
- Choose a storage tier per workload and justify it against retrieval cost, throughput and retention
- Model resilience with availability zones, paired regions and recovery targets that match the data
- Design network topology that separates ingress, egress and private endpoints without over-engineering
- Apply governance with management groups, Azure Policy and tagging that survives an audit
- Estimate running cost and choose the cost lever that moves the bill rather than describing it
- Plan a migration from an existing estate into a landing zone with a phased cutover
- Defend an architecture decision in front of a review board using the published AZ-305 objectives
What the Programme Is Built On
The syllabus follows the published AZ-305 objectives: Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Front Door, Azure Site Recovery, Bicep, Azure Policy and the objective-to-topic map for the exam, two timed practice papers with a score sheet split by domain, a landing zone worksheet and the design-review rubric used in the capstone
Career Opportunities After This Programme
- Azure Solutions Architect
- Cloud Solutions Architect
- Enterprise Cloud Architect
- Cloud Infrastructure Consultant
- Cloud Centre of Excellence Lead
- Technical Account Manager, Cloud
Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: Design an Azure landing zone for a mid-sized enterprise with three business units, a regulated customer-facing application and a data platform that must stay inside one geography. Produce the subscription and management group design, the Entra ID tenant layout, the network topology with private endpoints, the storage and compute choices per workload, the resilience plan with recovery targets, and the enforceable policy set. Then defend it in a mock architecture review where cost, security and operations each challenge one decision.
Production scenario: A global enterprise has consolidated three regional data centres into one Azure subscription and now has no cost visibility, a flat identity model and a production outage that took four hours to recover. You are asked to rebuild the platform boundary before the next audit, with a fixed monthly budget and no downtime window.
Course Duration, Mode and Certification
The course runs for 12 weeks (72 hours), three sessions a week of two hours each. Modes: Classroom / Live Online / Hybrid. Certificate issued: SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate. This programme prepares you for the AZ-305 exam, which is booked and paid for with Microsoft separately from the course fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect course?
It is a 12-week, 72-hour programme that teaches Azure architecture decisions: how to separate identity and network boundaries, place data for cost and resilience, govern a landing zone with policy as code, and prove continuity with recovery targets. It closes with a full landing-zone capstone and timed AZ-305 practice papers scored by objective, with the vendor exam fee paid separately to Microsoft.
How is this different from the AZ-104 Azure Administrator course?
AZ-104 trains you to operate a tenancy: create resources, configure identity, manage storage and troubleshoot a network. AZ-305 assumes that competence and asks a different question, which is why the domains differ: given a business constraint and a cost ceiling, which design do you defend. This course contains no administration drills; every module ends on a design decision, a cost argument or a resilience proof.
Do I need AZ-104 before I start this course?
Microsoft requires the Azure Administrator Associate credential before it awards the Solutions Architect Expert badge, so treat AZ-104 as a formal prerequisite. Practically, you need to be comfortable in a live tenancy with resource groups, managed disks, Entra ID roles and activity logs. If you have administered Azure for a while but never sat the exam, the first two modules here close that gap.
What does a 72-hour Azure architecture programme cover in 12 weeks?
Three sessions a week of two hours each, 8 modules of 9 hours. The sequence moves from identity and governance, through storage, data, compute and network design, into resilience and the landing zone, and ends with the capstone and exam practice. Roughly half the time is hands-on in a live tenancy and half is design review, because an architect is judged on decisions rather than clicks.
Who hires Azure Solutions Architects in India?
Cloud consulting firms, systems integrators, GCCs running platform engineering, and product companies with a platform team of their own. The roles are usually titled Cloud Solutions Architect, Cloud Consultant, Enterprise Architect or Platform Architect. Employers look for someone who can write a design decision with its cost and failure modes attached, which is what this course is built to produce.
Will this course get me a job as an architect?
No course guarantees a role, and this one will not pretend otherwise. What it does is give you the design work that architect-track interviews actually test, a capstone decomposition you can defend in an interview, and the placement cell to introduce you to hiring partners for entry-level architect and cloud consultant roles.
What is the fee and how are batches run?
The programme fee is ₹18,000 – ₹75,000 depending on the batch and mode, and the vendor exam fee for AZ-305 is paid to Microsoft separately. It runs 12 weeks with three sessions a week of two hours, in classroom, live online or hybrid mode, with weekday, weekend and evening batches. Enquire on +91 8610964691 for the next batch date.
What does a cloud architect earn in this market?
A cloud architect role here commonly pays ₹9 to 18 LPA, with insurance and claims operations and large support centres at the upper end. Support-centre roles often convert into permanent platform ownership after a second year, which is the usual way people in this market build a career rather than change employer.
Who hires cloud architects here?
Business support and shared services centres hire for multi-unit data boundaries and operational ownership from day one, insurance operations hire for continuity under seasonal peaks, and pharmaceutical and public-sector operations hire for compliance-driven architecture that a regulator can follow. Candidates who have already worked inside a published service catalogue are shortlisted first, because the model is what this market runs on.
Can I attend this batch from this city?
Yes. Classroom batches run at our Thoraipakkam centre, and candidates from this tricity join the same live online or hybrid cohort with the same faculty. Evening and weekend batches are available, which works for people on support centre shift patterns, and the data boundary exercise is worked against a live multi-unit scenario.
Is classroom training available in Chandigarh?
No. SkilBrill's classroom runs only in Chennai. Learners in Chandigarh join the same live online / hybrid cohort taught by the Chennai faculty, with proctored labs and the same placement support.
Which companies hire for these skills in Chandigarh?
Learners in Chandigarh typically target a mix of MNCs and startups such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra. The programme's placement support applies equally to Chandigarh learners.
