Enabling people to understand what it takes to take on professional certification courses is an important element of informing one’s education clients properly.

This is the role Rivotek Kenya Limited came in to do for Makini Schools during their open day.

The college, having launched its IT Academy, and offering professional courses, stand apart from other colleges in its field by offering world class certification.

The Microsoft IT Academy Program enables colleges to offer official Microsoft Courseware and certification for students.

This makes the college globally credible and makes the students global resources.

However, most students do not understand the benefits of this kind of certification, and thus a precious few of Kenya‘s population invest in this kind of education. Even worse, an even smaller number of organisations offering tertiary learning invest in affiliation with global education and certification providers.

Rivotek aids  both the educators and learners by providing the business consultancy and training necessary to move organisations to the next level, and to inform individuals of the opportunities they stand to gain.

This event, held on the 14th of April, showcased benefits from disparate professional bodies like KASNEB, ACCA, ABE and Microsoft Learning.

Both educators and students got to interact in an off-centre and interactive environment and got informed!

The team from Rivotek were in Gauteng, Midrand, Johanesburg, from the 22nd to the 25th of March 2011 for the Microsoft Live @Edu and Learning Gateway conference at Bytes People Solutions.

There, we had key interactions with the Edu community in IT from all over Africa

The goal was for partners to understand Microsoft’s role and and direction in Education, and understanding the pertinent programs offered from both a technical and a business perspective.

Education portals and integrated information systems under unified communications was stressed, and the teams trained extensively on Live@Edu, Sharepoint as an LMS, Moodle integration with Live@Edu and Windows Multipoint Server.

We also got a sneek peek into the concepts and offerings in Office 365 for Education.

Its amazing what an education institution can do with a little investment in ICT.
