Microsoft Training Academy Paddington:
Over the last few years, hundreds of school leaders, educators, and students have passed through the Microsoft Showcase Classroom, originally in Victoria, and more recently in our London Paddington offices.
In the last few months this space has gone through an overhaul, and we are pleased to announce the opening of the new Microsoft Training Academy: Paddington.
Designed with school leaders and educators in mind, the Microsoft Training Academy is an experience that empowers digital transformation within everyday teaching, and at a school or multi-academy trust level. Delivered in person by Microsoft Learning Consultants, sessions in the Paddington MTA provide hands-on, tailored training on how to best utilise Microsoft technology in education. All attendees are given their own device for the duration of the day, allowing them to explore, collaborate and learn.
We have created agendas suitable for Primary, Secondary, and Further and Higher Education audiences, including all the best ways to utilise Office 365 and Windows in learning. However, we recognise that every institution will have its own unique challenges and goals as part of its journey of digital transformation, and we can create a bespoke day suited to where you are on your journey.
A Microsoft Training Academy experience is free-of-charge, and refreshments will be provided in the morning & lunch at midday. Below we will explore a little further what a typical day looks like, meet the presenters, and provide information about how to book your own session.
