There is little question about the value of Microsoft training and certification for organisations and their team members. But when it comes to planning and implementing such a program, working with a Learning Partner offers more impactful results.
On an individual level, professionals with Microsoft certification and training through Learning Partners see its positive impact on their work. Skillsoft launched an IT Skills and Salary Survey and discovered that after certification:
49% of respondents felt that the quality of their work had improved
39% of respondents were more engaged with their work
and 27% were faster at performing their jobs
Rolling out an effective Microsoft Certification Program
Whether for Microsoft SQL training in the Philippines or Asia, for Azure or Office, you need to ensure a good return on investment for your learning and development initiatives. To do this, you can engage the expertise of a full-service partner.
Your expertise in assembling and growing the right team is strategic. Combine this with the mapping, coordination and training capabilities of a Microsoft Learning Partner, and you can multiply the effect of your training and certification initiatives.
A Learning Partner like Lumify Work (previously known as DDLS) can help create skilling plans where we identify the skill gaps within your team, how to close them and how to ensure that their training and certification are updated.
From there, we can help you determine which Microsoft certification is best for beginners. Depending on your team members' roles, the answer could be any of the Microsoft Fundamentals courses in Security, Compliance, and Identity, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Apps (CRM), Windows Server Administration, or Power Platform.
Microsoft Training and Certification Stories
To find out what Microsoft Learning Partners like Lumify Work can do, you can get insights from customers who have benefited most. Watch this video.
Henna M, a Senior Training Specialist of Alaska Airlines, finds that working with a Microsoft Learning Partner offers the benefits of having advocates supporting your learning and development strategy.
"The advantage of working with a Learning Partner is that we have a dedicated consultant who's a true ally in building a culture of continuous learning and upskilling across various roles and departments."
Ridmi S, People Development and Culture at Axiata Digital Labs, explains the value of varied and flexible learning solutions from a Learning Partner.
"After moving to the hybrid working model, we wanted to encourage employees to continue learning by providing them with the flexibility to learn at their own time and pace.”
They were able to manage hybrid work with assistance from a Learning Partner. The partner provided multiple options to support an individual's learning experience, such as hands-on labs, custom content, role-based learning paths, mentoring and discussion groups, reviews (before, during and after the training). Ridmi's team received support with certification prep and exams too.
Microsoft and Lumify Work share the belief that technical skilling is imperative. Our team is committed to enabling people to thrive in the digital landscape of tomorrow. And this requires listening to and having conversations with our customers so we can continuously fine-tune our content, learning modalities, processes and programs to support their digital transformation journey.
