What Microsoft Certified Fundamentals are, and why employers trust them.

Watch · OneSkillAway

How OneSkillAway takes you from your first lesson to a verified badge.

The story

A degree used to be the door to a tech job. Today, employers want proof.

Hiring managers want proof you can do the work. Microsoft built that proof, and your voucher unlocks the official training, so the path from first lesson to badge is one certification pathway.

01
The problem

You’re qualified. They don’t know it yet.

You’ve watched the tutorials, explored the Azure free tier, maybe shipped a project. But the CV scanner looks for one thing: a recognized credential next to your name.

02
The path

Train on the real objectives.

Your voucher unlocks the official LearnKey video library on OneSkillAway, mapped to the same objectives the exam is built from. Six role-based Fundamentals to choose from.

03
The transformation

Certified. Verifiable. Hired.

Microsoft Certified Fundamentals never expire: pass once and it’s yours. Stackable badges that compound: Fundamentals leads to Associate leads to a role.

The credential

This is what gets opened. This is what gets hired.

Every candidate who passes a Microsoft Certified Fundamentals exam receives an officially issued certificate from Microsoft, plus a verifiable digital badge you can pin to LinkedIn and share on Credly. Recognized by Microsoft partner organizations worldwide.

Why certification first

Five problems graduates face. One answer: proof of skill.

A qualification says you studied. A Microsoft certification proves you can work with the cloud, data, AI and security tools employers run on, and that changes what happens next.

A graduate being hired
1Unemployment

“I have a qualification, but no job.”

AZ-900, AI-901 and SC-900 are the names recruiters search for. A Microsoft badge on Credly is proof a hiring manager can check in minutes.

A CV says you studied. Microsoft says you can.
Interns working with a colleague
2Internships

“I need experience to get experience.”

Interns who already understand Azure, Power BI and Microsoft 365 security are useful from week one, and that is what turns a placement into an offer.

Arrive certified. Get handed real work.

3Entrepreneurship

“I want to build something of my own.”

Power Platform lets you build apps and automations for small businesses without code, and Copilot agents let one person do the work of a team.

Sell solutions, not hours.
A study group working through concepts
4Deeper understanding

“I use the cloud, but I don’t really understand it.”

Fundamentals cover how cloud, data, AI and security actually work: the concepts behind every Microsoft tool, and the foundation every Associate certification builds on.

Understand the why, not just the clicks.
Young graduates showcasing their skills and a global map in the background
5Global reach

“My qualification doesn’t travel.”

A Microsoft credential means the same thing in Harare, Johannesburg, Dubai or London. It never expires, and anyone can verify it on Microsoft Learn or Credly.

One badge. Every border.
From graduate to certified graduate: proof of skill that gets you hired, gets you started and travels with you.Six Microsoft Fundamentals. One certification pathway. Vouchers from $75.
