Description

How can your company demonstrate better business performance? IDC research over the past five years has repeatedly shown that “cloud partners” (those that earn at least 50% of their revenue from cloud offerings) out perform those that earn less than half of their revenue from cloud. It’s time to take the next step to becoming a cloud partner.

The comprehensive Azure Kickstart Training enables Microsoft Enterprise Partners to gain Microsoft Azure certification – even if they have no previous knowledge of Azure. The 7-week program, which will be jointly led by Microsoft and Realdolmen, will start on November 9, 2017 and has two tracks: Sales and Technical.

For best results, each company must enroll at least one sales employee and one technical employee at a cost of €250 (ex VAT) per sales employee and €795 (ex VAT) per technical employee. Enroll two technical employees and enjoy a 10% discount on the second registration.

This registration fee includes:

• Access to all webinars and pitch perfect day
• Access to Yammer group for peer discussion
• Access to Microsoft on Demand courseware for course 20533 - Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions (Technical track only)
• Voucher for a practice exam of 70-533 (Technical track only)
• Exam for 70-533 with one retake (Technical track only)

Participants of the Technical Track can optionally opt in for two extra certificates:

• exam 70-532 (and courseware 20532): Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions
• exam 70-534: Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions

All training for the Technical Track can be done at your own pace. We use Microsoft Official Courseware-on-demand and other online resources. The participants can choose the best timing in his/her agenda to complete the training.

Optional certifications (with courseware, test exam and exam) are charged with an extra 199€/training.
