Study guide or other books on the technologies or focused on the exam objectives are a very common method people use to study for certifications.
They provide a guided path towards certification that is vetted not just by the author, but also any technical editors that help review the books before they are published. There are online, on-demand video services and courses that can be purchased. These provide a great self-paced learning path to follow using audio and video rather instead of written books. These sources can be easier to consume while multi-tasking.
There is a wide range of cost for online course content. There are lots of free videos available on YouTube channels. Obviously, the most expensive study path to take is to attend an in-person, instructor led training. This will give you a class room full of students to attend along-side, and a dedicated trainer for the duration of the class.
This may be the most affective training method if you can dedicate the time, but it will cost the most amount of money. These are intended to train a group of approximately 20 students at one time with an on-site instructor the students can interact with directly throughout the class.
There are also training providers that offer virtual instructor-led training that works similarly, but at a discount using an online training solution service such as GoToTraining or others to allow students to attend the class and interact with the instructors. I hope this added clarification on the pricing and cost of Microsoft certifications helps you plan your certification path and learning process.
I know the prices may not seem very high to some, but high to others. The prices can be high especially if you live in a lower income region of the world.
Keep in mind there are free study materials out there, like Build5Nines. However, if you can make the investment in yourself, or get your employer to pay for your certification and training, then there are lots of options available. If you have any tips or suggestions, please leave those in the comments. The price of the exams will be adjusted according to the local currency for the country you reside and take the certification exam within.

Please am only a student and i need these skills to boost my career. These are geared towards those with two or less years of experience and should help you get some credentials to add to your resume. The Azure Fundamentals is a great way to get started with the Microsoft Azure Cloud; which I really do recommend doing as the cloud is the future of IT.
My biggest tip is to keep an eye on the Microsoft Learning Blog to see if there are any special deals available. These will keep you more on the on-premises side of things. Just had the opportunity to take the fundamentals course and everything clicked. Would you suggest further certification before trying to pursue a career change into Azure administration?
Or are employers willing to take on less certified candidates with broad IT experience? If you can get hired with your current expertise, then go for it.
