Methodology & didactics

Digicomp Flexible Learning Approach:

Training modality: As soon as you book the training, the individual preparation with Microsoft Learn and our Learning Support starts. During a period of 4 weeks, 6-8 half-day (3h each) virtual live sessions with our Azure MCT experts will take place. The sessions are already planned and can be easily combined with the daily work routine. Between the sessions there is enough time to process the learned knowledge.
Learning Support: By means of forums, you have the opportunity to ask questions at any time and within a few hours you will receive a solution that will help you get ahead. Your access will be maintained until 30 days after completion of the official training to ensure a sustainable learning experience.
