Course overview
The Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) is an entry-level certification aimed at individuals looking to gain their first professional Microsoft certification. MTA certification areas cover a variety of technologies such as windows operating systems, server, networking, security, database administration, software development, and HMTL application development. All of which are taught at a fundamental level.
The MTA validates fundamental technology skills and knowledge among learners and job-seekers who are pursuing a career in technology. MTA addresses a wide range of critical technology concepts with exams that are designed to assess and validate core technical concepts in three primary areas: Developer, Database, and IT Professional.
The MTA is normally the starting point to progress onto more advanced Microsoft certifications such as the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE), and Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD). This bundle gives individuals an opportunity to explore and certify in three areas: windows operating systems, server, and networking. Prospective students may already be working in an IT capacity and are looking to advance their career or wish to better understand key technologies within their company.
This bundle contains three separate MTA certification courses and three official Microsoft MTA certification exams, all of which are valid for 12 months from the time of enrolment. As part of this bundle, you will get access to a MeasureUP practice test for each Microsoft certification course.
