CertificationCamps has developed a comprehensive training format which focuses on learning beyond the core content accessible to any Microsoft training provider. Our program incorporates interactive demonstrations with explanations which go beyond the content of the book. Additional content, videos, labs & demonstrations are provided to expand on advanced topics - providing additional insight and perspective.
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.
We leverage our partnership benefits of courseware customization to build end to end technology solutions. The idea is for students to leave with practical skills which can be implemented immediately when leave class.
Our training program offers solutions before the course by providing you with pre-study materials / pre-class remote lab access, during the course with industry leading instructors and after the course with continued access to the lab environment.
Additionally, we limit our class sizes to 12 students with an average class size of 8. The instructor to student ratio is an important aspect of the learning environment and strict self-imposed rule of our organization.
CertificationCamps core service is training. Our instructors, all of whom hold the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) credential, have over 80 years combined experience training students.
Prior to teaching at Certification Camps - hundreds of hours are dedicated to
• Constructing the content and layout of the course
• Prepping the lecture materials
• Evaluating and testing labs
• Researching additional resources to value add to the course
• Studying and passing the corresponding Microsoft exams
The idea behind these efforts is to provide the best most prepared, qualified and knowledgable instructors in the industry.
Our facilities are second to none. We use top end computer equipment - 22in monitors, cpu's with Intel Virtualization processors, 8 gigs (min) of memory. Our classrooms are outfitted with executive leather chairs to ensure comfort during class hours. Every student has an individual desk allow plenty of room for student computer, personal laptop and book.

What makes us different? Quality of training, state of the art facilities, newer equipment, better location and higher end lodging.
Facilities - Many of our competitors over-crowd classrooms by placing 2 to 3 students per desk. Often they try to extend the life of very old equipment with lag and slow performance on the software used today. Our facilities have the best equipment and provide the most comfort of any environment.

Instructors - Our CEO, Chester Flake holds one of the rarest Microsoft Certifications - the Microsoft Certified Learning Consultant (MCLC) Certification. This certification reflects our company commitment to make sure our instructors are also actively engaged in real world consulting projects.
Vendor Partnership - Our primary focus is teaching Microsoft Courses - as such we are proud to be recognized as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. This is the highest level offered.
