Frequently asked questions
Can the training be funded (OPCO, CPF)?
I do not hold a Qualiopi certification myself, so for OPCO or CPF funding I deliver through Microsoft learning partners; directly for in-house sessions funded on your own budget.
Which language are the trainings delivered in?
Trainings are delivered in French, remotely or on site in the Paris area, major French cities, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Do you build tailored courses?
It is often the most effective format: we start from your subscriptions, pipelines and use cases to build directly applicable workshops.
Discuss this with me
A first 30-minute call is free and without commitment.
