Cloud technology training
This agreed program of learning is being made available to Federal Government staff in
technical ICT roles. The training will be delivered virtually so it can be accessed during this
period where more staff are working remotely.
Training is provided as a benefit of the DTA led Microsoft Whole of Government Agreement.

The aim of the Azure Technical Academy is to build digital skills in the Australian Public Service
through technical training in cloud technology. Microsoft’s Gold Learning Partner DDLS will be
leading the Azure role-based training.
There is also an Azure Fundamentals course being made available. It is targeted at those
needing a foundational level of knowledge of cloud services, being provided with Microsoft
Azure.
All training includes exam vouchers to receive Microsoft Certification.
