Benefits for IT professionals and developers

Learn a new technology. With just one course, you can develop practical skills that cover the technology adoption life cycle—from planning to support. And you gain a level of proficiency that can only be taught through hands-on labs, simulations, and the real-world application of skills.

Prepare for certification. Microsoft Certifications are available for core Microsoft technologies and skill levels. Microsoft Official Courses are built with Microsoft Certification in mind and are taught by qualified industry instructors.

Start a new career. The industry instructors who teach Microsoft Official Courses can help you gain IT skills that directly transfer from the classroom to the workplace. Courses offer access to valuable digital resources, which remain available to you long after you complete a course.

Professionals who took IT or business-related training during the past year earned an average of nearly $3,400 more than those who did not. (Global Knowledge, IT Skills and Salary Survey, March 2011)

Benefits for IT managers

Improve efficiency and productivity. Microsoft Learning Partners can help you get the most out of your organization’s technology investment. Your employees can add to their proficiency with Microsoft technologies from classroom training or Microsoft Official Courses On-Demand.

Prepare for deployment. Skilled training available through Microsoft Learning Partners helps companies accelerate new Microsoft technology deployments and can reduce downtime. Research shows that 40 percent of operational downtime is due to operator error, attributable to a significant lack of training on core systems. (Anderson, Cushing. "Impact of Training on Network Administration: Certification Leads to Operational Productivity." IDC study. As reported by Linda Musthaler in Network World, November 25, 2009)

Employee development, recruiting, and retention. Training and certification are effective methods for measuring how well team members can work with specific technologies, hardware, and software.

Sixty percent of technology executive respondents say that one of the biggest challenges in planning large IT infrastructure projects is the availability of professionals with the necessary competencies when needed. (TEKsystems/CIO Custom Solutions Group, IT Workforce Planning Trends, June 2011)
