Are the courses accredited for tuition reimbursement programs?

 

Similar to many classroom training providers throughout Australia, we always work with training partners, who are members of the Microsoft Independent Courseware Vendor Program (ICV) which means they are permitted to produce courses to be reviewed for the coveted Microsoft Certified Professional Approved Study Guide and the Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOS) logos. Some companies recognize this, while some don't.

 

Strict courseware development guidelines are published by Microsoft and must be followed by ICV members when producing courses to have any chance of receiving the logos. Once a course is finished it must also pass a complete review by Microsoft before any logo is granted. Courses containing either logo are your assurance that Microsoft has reviewed and approved the quality of the content in the course.

 

The Microsoft Certified Professional Approved Study Guide and MOS programs were developed to offer individuals a quality alternative to prepare for the various Microsoft certification programs. Everyone cannot afford the time and cost of attending instructor-led courses to prepare for the various certifications. By offering an alternative, Microsoft has given more individuals the opportunity to receive the many benefits of being certified.

 

Our training partner currently provides a complete set of courses to help individuals prepare for many certifications, including the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOS) certification, CompTIA's A+ Certificaion, and others. As the largest provider of these courses in real-time through the Internet at extremely attractive subscription pricing, Compulearn sets new standards of excellence in the training world.

 

With these valuable credentials, employers can be assured that their employees are receiving a high-quality, instructionally sound online training product that not only enhances professional and personal growth, but also stimulates job satisfaction.

Can I go back to my last page completed the next time I log in?

 

Yes, in two ways:

 

The courses automatically use a global bookmark to mark the last page you were working on. This happens automatically when you click the EXIT button in the toolbar. Then the next time you sign on with your UserID and Password and select that course, you will be taken to the marked location where you left off. This global bookmarking feature works even if your next login is from another computer.

 

You can also bookmark the last page worked on by adding it to your Bookmarks or Favourites on your individual browser. However this type of bookmark would not take you to where you last left off if your next login is on a different computer, hence a different browser. And you will still need to go to the Training section front page first to log in.
