Course types
Classroom: In-Person
Full-day instructor-led training delivered in the classroom (public) or at your offices (private). Training takes place Monday through Friday. Includes complete course coverage.
Classroom: Virtual
Virtual instructor-led training delivered online. Training takes place in the form of sessions between Monday and Friday. Includes complete course coverage.
Hybrid: In-Person or Virtual
A combination of online study and 2-days virtual or classroom live-based exam prep workshops. These courses are delivered in a blended format, consisting of 4-6 weeks self-study, plus full 2-days instructor-led workshops per person per exam.
Live-Virtual (MyDigicomp)
The live virtual course is scheduled over a period of 3-4 weeks. During this time 6-8 instructor-led contact sessions of 3 hours each take place. This time is indicated on the respective course as 3-4 days. When you click on “Timetable” during the booking process, you will already see when the next live sessions will take place. Of course, these sessions are recorded and made available to students at the end of the course. During these 3-4 weeks, students will always have direct access to the expert instructor and can ask questions if something is not clear during self-study. We call this aspect mentoring. Everything takes place on one Microsoft Team channel per class. During this time students will have access to all sessions and information within the class. After those 3-4 weeks, students receive and additional week to prepare and then take the test, either in-class or at home.
Course Type
Virtual or In-Person
Online course delivery format focuses on exam prep and is delivered in a very condensed format. Candidates are required to complete pre-course material before attending the instructor-led online sessions.
Price
