Microsoft classroom training

Many people learn best in a structured, hands-on, question-and-answer environment that classroom training provides. This format can be equally suitable for those starting on a new career path or IT professionals who have advanced certifications. If you prefer interacting in a classroom setting, consider instructor-led classroom training.

Taught by industry-recognized experts—Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs)—classroom training is offered by more than 1,500 Microsoft Learning Partners, located in more than 120 countries and regions throughout the world.

Microsoft online learning

If you already work with Microsoft technologies, you may want to complement your skills with self-paced online learning. While taking an online course, you can apply what you learn and go back to previous exercises in the course to reinforce your knowledge.

Microsoft Press products

Written by industry experts and Microsoft insiders, Microsoft Press books provide accurate and up-to-date information to help you take your skills to the next level. Although there are many books on the market about Microsoft software, we recommend you rely on books from Microsoft Press to ensure a consistent level of quality.

Microsoft Official Distance Learning (MODL)

MODL blends classroom training, live discussion, real-world scenarios, and self-directed study into one rich and accessible desktop education experience. MODL courses are exclusively available through Microsoft Learning Partners. This training option is ideal for professionals who want the interactivity of the classroom and the flexibility of an online course.
