Wow! FireBootCamp is #1 – We won the Microsoft Australia Partner Award for Excellence in Learning
Today, I am proud to announce SSW has won the MAPA 2015 Microsoft Australia Partner Award for Excellence in Learning for FireBootCamp, our 9-week intensive training .NET boot camp.
FireBootCamp was up against the very best learning institutions in Australia, such as New Horizons and DDLS. To give you an idea of the competition, these 2 companies have about 200 employees, have been in business for close to 20 years, and are known as leading IT technical training and certification companies.
I'd like to firstly thank Microsoft. Microsoft are a business and like to make money. They also like to reward and recognize their partners that make the biggest contributions. Companies such as New Horizions and DDLS do an awesome job of helping that bottom line. FireBootCamp doesn't give out certifications or sell Microsoft licences – we just turn developers into full stack Microsoft developers, and are only in our second year. I am thrilled – and also a little surprised - that Microsoft has recognized our innovative and holistic approach to training, and seen the value of the fantastic course outcomes, even though the numbers are substantially smaller than the large learning institutions.
Thank you, Microsoft, for recognizing innovative solutions. Read more.
