Johnston Community College’s Continuing Education Division is participating in the Elevate America-North Carolina initiative program designed by Microsoft that provides free Advanced IT Microsoft training and free certificate exams in the MS office suite. This initiative is open to all citizens of North Carolina.
For the Advanced IT training initiative, participants must activate the free training voucher prior to February 17, 2010. Once this is activated, the participant has 12 months to complete the training program. Under the umbrella of this initiative, training includes areas of interest in Windows Vista, Windows Server, SQL, Exchange Server, .Net Framework, Visual Studio, Computer hardware fundamentals, networking, XML, VB or C#, programming, Database Fundamentals, Desktop fundamentals, Server+, Security+, Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure and Application platform, and Windows Server 2008 Active Directory.
For the Business certification exam initiative, participants must “take” the exam using the free voucher prior to February 17, 2010. A free re-take is available within 30 days from the original testing date. Under the umbrella of the Business exam vouchers, exams include areas of interest in Windows Vista Essentials, Windows XP, Core Word 2003 and 2007, Core Excel 2003 and 2007, Core PowerPoint 2003 and 2007, Core Outlook 2003 and 2007, and Core Access 2003 and 2007.
A limited number of vouchers are available and the distribution of these vouchers is open now by appointment only by contacting Paula Parrish at (919) 209-2108. It is strongly recommended that you obtain your voucher immediately to avoid time constraints of the February 17th deadline as well as the availability of the vouchers.
