New Microsoft Azure Role-Based Certifications

New Microsoft Azure Role-Based Certifications

January 2, 2019 in Azure, Corporate IT Training, Microsoft / by Ted Parker

Role-Based Certifications

Overview

With the retirement of the MCSE Azure certifications on December 31, 2018 (see below) and the release of the new Azure certifications, the next generation of Microsoft certifications is here. And, it is truly a new generation. For the first time, Microsoft certifications will focus on building the skills required for actual job roles rather than focusing on the features and services of the Microsoft software product itself. As a result, Microsoft is calling these new certs “role-based” certifications.

August 28, 2018 in Cisco, CompTIA, Corporate IT Training, EC-Council, ITIL, Microsoft, Security, Web Development / by Centriq Training

Simply keeping up is a full-time job, and it’s still virtually guaranteed that some new development or specialization will pop up in the most unexpected of places.

Does my company really need SharePoint?

August 22, 2018 in Corporate IT Training, Microsoft / by Centriq Training

As more and more companies migrate their staff to O365, the question IT leadership’s evaluating is whether their organization needs SharePoint.

Centriq has also documented an increase in students signing up for SharePoint training over the past two years. But, numbers aside, your IT leadership has to decide what’s best for your organization!Read More

Microsoft Excel How To’s – Tips for Excel Spreadsheets

Microsoft Excel How To’s – Tips for Excel Spreadsheets

July 2, 2018 in Corporate IT Training, Microsoft Office / by Craig Gerdes

Most people would agree that Microsoft Excel is a very powerful program. Even someone who classifies themselves as an ‘expert user’ could admit to finding new functions and commands from time to time. But, since most of us aren’t Excel experts, it’s helpful to have a resource to turn to when your Excel spreadsheet isn’t quite right.

As a Microsoft Excel instructor, my goal with this blog is to share my knowledge and provide answers to questions I often hear from Excel users. There are some tips included that will increase your efficiency as well! As always, I can’t cover everything in one blog, so if you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, look to the ‘HELP’ feature within the software itself (or sign up for one of my classes).Read More

June 15, 2018 in Corporate IT Training, Microsoft Office / by Craig Gerdes

Has this ever happened to you? You’re plugging along on a Microsoft Word document only to freeze because you can’t recall how to do a relatively simple formatting function. I think it’s happened to all of us at one point or another and I hope the following will be your go-to resource whenever an instance like that takes place. (Bookmark the link so you can easily find it whenever a brain freeze occurs!)

My goal is not to cover all Microsoft Word formatting capabilities, just the basic ones that can increase your efficiency greatly. If you need more information or other guidance, look to the ‘HELP’ feature within the software itself.
