The program offers a structured learning path comprising Microsoft and Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) training. It includes self-paced courses, instructor-led sessions, practice tests, and ongoing mentor support.
Completion of the learning path includes taking the official Microsoft 365 Administrator Exam, with OCIO covering exam fees.
