clip_image001[4]Welcome

 

SQL Server 2012 launch momentum continues, with training sessions being attended worldwide. The virtual launch event continues to be available online and is a great place to start.

For LAR licensing specialists, the Resource Kit is complete and available online.

For sales professionals, the next step will be to get accredited to sell either Business Intelligence or Data Platform solutions, or both. The new sales assessments will be coming soon. Learning assets to support these are listed below and will be promoted along with the assessment in a complete learning path once available.

To foster stronger sales excellence skills in critical workloads, there will also be a Pre-sales Technical Specialist learning path and assessment for BI later. Watch for an announcement, and then pass the assessment to show off your pre-sales technical capability once this accreditation becomes available.

For technical professionals, all 11 of the Microsoft Learning certification exams are now available, including 4 designed specifically for professionals who need to upgrade from the previous release. See the last section of this document for details.
