Professionals can now develop hands-on AI, security, cloud, and data abilities while getting ready for Microsoft certification through ONLC Training's Microsoft Express program.

Microsoft Express gives people the opportunity to learn the most valuable parts of the official curriculum in just two days, gain practical experience through hands-on labs”— Andy Williamson, CEO and Director of AI Strategy at ONLC TrainingWILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With organizations rapidly integrating artificial intelligence into all departments, professionals require practical Microsoft expertise without dedicating a full week to training. ONLC Training has launched Microsoft Express—a collection of two-day, instructor-led courses designed to rapidly build hands-on skills in AI, cloud, security, and data while also offering a clear route to Microsoft certification.

"Many professionals want to earn Microsoft certifications, but finding an entire workweek for training isn't always realistic," observed Andy Williamson, CEO and Director of AI Strategy at ONLC Training. "Microsoft Express gives people the opportunity to learn the most valuable parts of the official curriculum in just two days, gain practical experience through hands-on labs, and continue preparing for certification at their own pace."

A SWIFTER COURSE TO MICROSOFT EXPERTISE

Microsoft Express fills the space between independent self-study and standard four- or five-day certification programs. Every two-day session centers on the most impactful elements of Microsoft's official course material, blending instructor-led instruction with practical labs that let learners instantly put new capabilities to use in real-world situations.

Instead of substituting Microsoft's official learning track, Microsoft Express enhances it. Attendees walk away with hands-on experience, insight into the rest of the curriculum, and immediate access to Microsoft Learn modules and certification exam advice, enabling them to study on their own schedule.

Each course is conducted online by a seasoned instructor, simplifying participation for both single learners and complete teams regardless of their location.

TARGETED TRAINING FOR POPULAR AI AND CLOUD POSITIONS

The Microsoft Express portfolio addresses six of Microsoft's most rapidly expanding technology areas: AI agent development via Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI cloud development, AI and cloud security, security operations, Microsoft Fabric analytics, and Microsoft 365 AI administration.

Every course finishes in only two days at a cost of $995 and corresponds to a Microsoft certification, among them several brand-new certification tracks. The objective is straightforward: enable professionals to become effective more quickly while offering a distinct pathway to obtaining Microsoft credentials valued by employers.

"Organizations don't just need certified professionals—they need people who can apply these skills immediately," Williamson continued. "Microsoft Express helps learners build confidence through hands-on experience while giving them a practical path toward certification without requiring a full week away from work."

ADAPTABLE CHOICES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS

Microsoft Express courses are offered as pre-scheduled public sessions and as private training tailored for companies seeking to upgrade the skills of departments or project teams. Leveraging over four decades of expertise in delivering Microsoft and IT instruction, ONLC keeps broadening its portfolio to assist enterprises in staying current with fast-changing AI technologies.
