6. Microsoft Training
Skills development, which encompasses training and Certification, is a proven way to maximize
the effectiveness of IT professionals.
A recent IDC Performance Impact Study found that the single biggest factor in the success of IT
solutions was the skill of the team managing the technology. Teams that met most or all of their
objectives typically had twice the amount of training as teams that achieved only partial success.
Microsoft Certifications bring valuable, measurable rewards to students, IT professionals, their
managers, and the organizations that employ them. These certifications are designed to provide
the recognition you need to help you excel in your career and provide employers with validation
of your skills.
