• Microsoft slashes the price of e-Learning ...

  Ben WatsonMSFTSaturday, February 14, 2009 6:39 PM

  I thought members of the group would be interested in the news that last week we launched Microsoft Learning’s ‘Career Assist’ initiative where we have dropped the price of our award winning e-Learning course collections from an average of $350 to $35 (a 90% discount!). In this tough economic times I am pleased that Microsoft enabled us to make this change so that we can directly help those who need it worldwide.
  
  This initiative runs until the end of June and once you have activated the discounted e-learning collection it will only be available for 90 days. This is an incredible deal and applies to all of our e-Learning collections (of which there are hundreds). We bundled this offer with our ‘Second Shot’ certification campaign where if you do not pass your certification exam the first time you can take it again free.

  As the web site says … In today's challenging economic times, how do you stand out from the crowd, stay up to date with relevant technologies, and get the top jobs? Becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) is a great start.
  
  On a related note Microsoft also just launched “Thrive” (me > my skills > my organization) focused around a similar theme of ‘career care’:

  Please forward to anyone who you think would benefit from this time limited offer!
  
  Sincerely,
