Yes. We highly recommend taking the courses of each certificate program in the order they are presented. The content in the courses builds on information from earlier courses. The final course contains a capstone project that assesses your knowledge of the content covered in the previous courses. As such, it makes the most sense to take the courses in the order they are presented.

• This Specialization will prepare you to take the AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam. The Azure Fundamentals exam is an opportunity to prove knowledge of cloud concepts, Azure services, Azure workloads, security and privacy in Azure, as well as Azure pricing and support. Each course teaches you the core concepts and skills that are measured by the exam.

• When you complete the specialization, you will receive a Coursera Specialization Certificate of Completion. This is an official Coursera credential that confirms that you successfully completed a Specialization on Coursera. You can see all the Course Certificates you've earned on your Accomplishments page. From there, you can download, print, or share your Certificates.
