From the Classroom: Microsoft IT Academy

Since Intersoft became the manager of the Micosoft IT Academy Program (ITA) in South Africa in August 2006, educational institutions joining the ITA have plied Intersoft with requests for a simple, quick reference source; one that shows how to get started quickly, provides solutions to any difficulties experienced and shows how to make full use of all the rich resources that are available to instructors and learners. So they did.

The approach is task-orientated approach and the text is presented in a logical, clear and simple format, designed to answer many of the questions that a new Microsoft ITA member may have…and those they haven’t yet thought of!

The aim is to make ITA members fully aware of what’s available under the program, how to make use of all the resources available, to prevent difficulties before they can manifest and solve problems that might crop up swiftly. At the back of the book is an ITA Resource CD, which saves so much time and effort that those ITA members who utilise it fully could be up and running weeks ahead of those who don’t. Forms and information that otherwise can be tricky to find and download are on the CD. It makes administrative tasks so much lighter!

This title is a South African initiative and it is a creation resulting from the talents of a number of skilled professionals. This is the first book in the world to be published on the ITA for ITA members. It is supported by Microsoft South Africa.
