Testimonial

When the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shifted to Azure, I realized I needed to upskill to stay relevant in my role as a Program Analyst. Simplilearn’s course helped me understand cloud architecture, letting my team take on more responsibilities. It also transformed my freelance work; I now host websites independently, saving costs and earning profits. I even use these skills to manage my sports podcast and website, eliminating outsourcing. Upskilling truly changed my journey!
