” After having been warned that we would have the opportunity to attend this training and would also receive a certificate at the end, it became clear that this would be a unique opportunity with tremendous advantages. The class contents are available in video classes on the LinkedIn platform”.
According to her, she expects to “successfully conclude this training, gaining both knowledge in the area of Microsoft Azure and for my technical and professional development. In the future, I will certainly have the opportunity to add Microsoft Azure somehow in my day-to-day work”.
Valdir Ramos, an English language trainee attending the Dynamic O365 course, has hardly any problem learning due to his fluent knowledge of the English language. “The training goes smoothly, as English is a language that I master very well, which makes it easier to understand the contents and explanations. Hopefully, with some effort and interest I can learn and understand the lessons quickly”. He added that expectations are high ” I have high expectations because it will help me in the future.
Josias Cabral graduated in Computer Science and Systems Engineering, was integrated in the Marketing area. He says that despite being related to Multimedia, this is a little known area, without in-depth knowledge in the matter. He explains that there is a certain difficulty in managing the tasks of the internship with the study schedule, however, he is engaged in overcoming this challenge. “I hope they will teach us the most possible in relation to the content provided to be better qualified for the market,” he said.
Since 2018, through the partnership between NOSi and Microsoft, trainees have had the opportunity to aggregate skills both within and outside the field of study, with a certification component.
