We use Lync for our online training and conferences with partner companies. Internally, we use link to manage our phones and contacts - and for real time collaboration with our onsite classes. Lync is integrated with our Office products (Word & Excel) to allow collaboration for sharing documents which manage our voucher codes and other marketing materials.

As a Microsoft Certified Partner with Gold Learning Competency - we adhere to the strict guidelines, standards and requirements to use Microsoft's exclusive curriculum. Our standards go beyond the "minimum requirements" set forth by Microsoft.

Several of our instructors also hold the premier Microsoft Certified Learning Consultant (MCLC) certification awarded only to MCTs who demonstrate real world consulting services to clients.
