Training/Education stuff at Microsoft
Hey Microsofties, How is it like at Microsoft for getting budget for things like: - Training courses - Uni classes - Certification Exams (including MSFT ones) It’s not great at Apple and I hope it’s better there. I’ll join MSFT in London soon. TC: 200K YOE: 6
Ms is great in this regard. Lot of trainings available along with tie up with popular edu sites. There might also be discounts for ms certification but need to check with local admin. Uni classes not sure but ms does supports financially for some courses related to work
I thought MSFT certification would be free.
Yes. Ms certification is free after applying discount. But can't speak for other regions, org so... Also i checked with my mgr for other certification and he was supportive. So it depends on org, mgr etc. But overall i see there is good budget and support for learning here at ms.
