Microsoft IT Academy

Welcome to the Microsoft IT Academy

The Microsoft IT Academy provides e-learning for most of Microsoft's software applications. Microsoft has grouped individual courses into collections. There are over 150 collections available and they have been divided into two levels.

  • Essential Level e-learning courses are targeted towards students that wish to learn about using popular Microsoft products such as the Office Suite, Windows XP, and Vista.
  • Advanced Level e-learning courses are targeted toward IT professionals seeking certification from Microsoft. For easier access, these collections have been grouped by exam number.

A complete list of essential and advanced level collections (as well as exam numbers) currently available can be found in the linked pdf. collections.pdf

Note to Faculty and Staff

While the IT Academy is available for faculty and staff to use, it is geared toward students and IT professionals. For basic training in Microsoft products, we recommend that faculty and staff use the Microsoft E-learning system which can be accessed at http://oit.utk.edu/ms/.

If you are a interested in using the IT Academy as coursework for a university class, please contact the OIT Helpdesk. There are certain options that can be enabled to assist instructors with tracking students' progress within the IT Academy.
