Success Stories
Robert Cook
“The NHS valued my MOS qualifications and it enabled me to be narrowed down from 365 applicants to one. After talking with my employer, who is the head of software development at Cwm Taff, he said he valued my Microsoft experience greatly
and it made me stand out.”
Matthew Davies
“Current student Matthew Davies represented the UK last
year in California at the Microsoft Office Specialist World
Championships. The opportunity to study aspects of the Microsoft Imagine Academy
has supported Matthew in making a decision to follow a
career in IT in the future.”
