Microsoft Software and Systems Academy Training Partner

Microsoft Partners with Opsgility as one of their Key Learning Partners to Provide Transitioning Service Members with Critical Skills for the Tech Industry.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. To help realize this mission for transitioning military service members, Microsoft works alongside Opsgility to help service members advance from the military to a career in IT.

Together, we provide a wide range of educational assets and value-added programs, including instructor-led training, hands-on labs, in-depth online courses, and industry-recognized certifications through Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA).

MSSA is a full-time, 17-week technical training program that couples technical curriculum with professional skills training – so program graduates are equipped with the comprehensive knowledge to be competitive for entry-level technical roles throughout the IT industry. The training program leads to in-demand careers in cloud development, cloud administration, and related fields.

Our Customer Success Team provides white glove service to students, trainers, and event organizers throughout the 17-week program.

White glove services

Our Customer Success Team provides exceptional service to students, trainers, and event organizers throughout the 17-week program!

Before the program, we customize training calendars, build surveys, set up virtual classrooms, create challenge sandboxes, and train the trainers. We also grant instructor permissions, provide access to necessary training materials, and maintain communication with cohort leaders, instructors & students.

During the program, we purchase Digital Microsoft Official Curriculum (DMOC) and labs, assign instructors, and share onboarding information via email. We provide continuous support through surveys, daily check-ins, schedule mock interviews, award Credly badges upon course completion, and weekly leadership status calls. We also curate a resource center with Microsoft training materials and related documents for ongoing learning.

After the program, our team informs students and instructors of the platform and MSSA email access expiration, removes licenses associated with their accounts, and congratulates graduates.

What our Customers Say

That’s extraordinary!” “…We’ve not seen this level of success since starting this program in 2013. Thank you to the Opsgility team for providing such an impressive instructor.
