Training Options for Exam Preparation

ONLC provides authorized Microsoft training classes

Microsoft certification exams are performance-based requiring you to complete specific tasks during the exam to prove your knowledge and understanding of the technology rather than memorizing information. The best way to prepare for a Microsoft certification exam is by having hands-on experience with the technology.

ONLC Training Centers is a Microsoft Gold Learning Partner. We provide authorized Microsoft training that will help you prepare for certification exams. Authorized training is available in two delivery formats:

Instructor-led training (ILT) classes
Our instructor-led training classes are live, hands-on instruction. Classes are led by a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT). The class includes Microsoft official curriculum in digital format, and you'll do hands-on labs and exercises with the technology throughout the class. You can ask questions, participate in class discussions, receive direct assistance from the trainer during class and more. Review FAQs.

Students may attend an ILT class from any of ONLC's more than 300 locations or from your own home/office computer. ONLC typically limits ILT class enrollments to 12 students nationwide to ensure for individual attention from the instructor.
MOC On-Demand (self-study)
MOC On-Demand is Microsoft's official self-study option that you access using your own equipment. This format is most appropriate for experienced IT professionals and for those who can't spend days out of the office for instructor-led training (ILT).
