Course Materials

Students will receive a copy of the official Microsoft documentation in a digital format.

Methodology

This is an active and participatory course through demonstrations, practical exercises and user analysis of all theoretical topics taught by the trainer in order to address real cases of the related product.

The trainer will also use different dynamics that allow group work in the classroom such as challenges, assessment tests and real cases to prepare for the associated Microsoft certification exam if that is the case.

Certification

This course is certified by Microsoft®.

The evaluation is continuous, based on group and individual activities. The trainer will give constant feedback to each participant.

During the course, participants will complete an evaluation test that they must pass with more than 75% of correct answers. They will have one hour for its completion.

The conditions for additional certification services are subject to the terms of the license owner or the approved certification authority.

Accreditation

A Certificate of Attendance will be issued only to students with an attendance of more than 75% and a Diploma of Achievement if they also pass the evaluation test.
