New Two-Day Courses Accelerate Microsoft AI Skills

ONLC Training's Microsoft Express program helps professionals build practical AI, security, cloud, and data skills while preparing for Microsoft certification

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As organizations race to adopt artificial intelligence across every department, professionals need practical Microsoft skills without spending an entire week away from work. ONLC Training has introduced Microsoft Express, a new series of two-day instructor-led courses that help learners quickly develop hands-on Microsoft AI, cloud, security, and data skills while providing a direct path toward Microsoft certification.

"Many professionals want to earn Microsoft certifications, but finding an entire workweek for training isn't always realistic," said Andy Williamson, CEO and Director of AI Strategy at ONLC Training. "Microsoft Express gives people the opportunity to learn the most valuable parts of the official curriculum in just two days, gain practical experience through hands-on labs, and continue preparing for certification at their own pace."

A FASTER PATH TO MICROSOFT SKILLS

Microsoft Express bridges the gap between self-paced learning and traditional four- or five-day certification courses. Each two-day class focuses on the highest-value portions of Microsoft's official curriculum, combining instructor guidance with hands-on labs that help participants immediately apply new skills in real-world scenarios.

Rather than replacing Microsoft's official learning path, Microsoft Express complements it. Participants leave with practical experience, an understanding of the remaining curriculum, and direct access to Microsoft Learn modules and certification exam guidance so they can continue preparing at their own pace.

Every course is delivered online by an experienced instructor, making it easy for individuals or entire teams to participate from wherever they work.

FOCUSED LEARNING FOR HIGH-DEMAND AI AND CLOUD ROLES

The Microsoft Express lineup covers six of Microsoft's fastest-growing technology disciplines, including AI agent development with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI cloud development, AI and cloud security, security operations, Microsoft Fabric analytics, and Microsoft 365 AI administration.

Each course is completed in just two days for $995 and aligns with a Microsoft certification, including several newly introduced certification paths. The goal is simple: help professionals become productive faster while providing a clear roadmap toward earning Microsoft credentials that employers recognize.

"Organizations don't just need certified professionals—they need people who can apply these skills immediately," Williamson added. "Microsoft Express helps learners build confidence through hands-on experience while giving them a practical path toward certification without requiring a full week away from work."

FLEXIBLE OPTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS

Microsoft Express courses are available as scheduled public classes and as private training that can be customized for organizations looking to upskill departments or project teams.
