Virtual Training

To support rapid adoption of MS Teams during the COVID-19 crisis, Microsoft is hosting online training sessions in both English and French.

The sessions will be offered in two formats, pre-recorded and live. However, both feature live moderation to answer your questions in real-time. Find a date and time below that works for you.
