Adepteq were honoured to be invited to provide the keynote speaker for the Microsoft Academy launch at ATG Training on 2nd March.
The event started with an introduction by Ian Harper (Director of Learning & Skills at ATG) and was followed by Councillor Janet Blake (Chairman of Aylesbury Vale District Council), who highlighted how the continued education of young people within Aylesbury was high on the councils agenda. David Liddington (MP and Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs) unveiled the Microsoft Academy and then handed over to Ian Loman (Director and Senior Consultant at Adepteq).
As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Adepteq were asked to talk about being a Microsoft Partner and how Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCP's) are key to enhancing a partners status within Microsoft. As there are 27,000 Microsoft Partners in the UK having MCP's helps you stand out from the crowd. MCP's combined with customer references enables a partner to achieve Competencies and Accreditations which raise their profile and kudos.
With ATG Training also becoming a Prometric testing centre the local community (including Adepteq) will immediately benefit from being able to sit Microsoft examinations in Aylesbury.
ATG Training are an existing Adepteq SharePoint customer and have approved a Microsoft customer reference, which helps Adepteq maintain our Information Worker Competency.
