Microsoft Workshops That End in a Real, Earned Credential
One focused day, one working outcome. Each workshop maps to a Microsoft Applied Skills credential — a lab-based, exam-free Microsoft badge your delegates earn by doing the work, not sitting a written exam. Delivered live by an AZ-305 & AZ-104 certified Microsoft Certified Trainer, online worldwide or in-person across South Africa.
AI Fast-Start
The fastest route from “we should do something with AI” to a team that has actually built one. Three back-to-back workshops that leave each delegate with a working AI agent, the skills to keep it safe, and the automation to put it to work — plus three Microsoft credentials.

What every delegate needs. A laptop, a current browser and stable broadband — nothing more. The hands-on labs run in Microsoft’s own cloud, so your machine doesn’t need to be powerful. A second screen (or a phone/tablet as a second screen) makes the hands-on courses far easier, letting you keep the lab instructions in view while you work.
What’s included. Live instructor-led delivery, all practice environments on free Microsoft trials, a session recording, follow-up resources, and guided preparation for the free Microsoft Applied Skills assessment — which each delegate completes in a free, Microsoft-hosted lab.
How the credential works. Applied Skills are earned by completing real tasks in a lab, not by sitting a written exam. The credential and the assessment are free and never expire — the workshop is the guided path to earning it with confidence.
Payment & scope. Invoiced on booking — EFT in South Africa, or card via Payoneer internationally. Private team days assume up to 10 delegates and one organisation; larger cohorts are quoted after a quick call.
All ZAR rates exclude VAT and are per delegate for a public date unless stated otherwise. On-site delivery subject to travel costs. Microsoft Applied Skills credentials are provided free by Microsoft and are subject to Microsoft’s catalogue, which is refreshed periodically — this page is reviewed quarterly. Rates valid for 2026.
