Receive 25% discount on e-learning in the new and enhanced Microsoft Training Catalog

Hi everyone,

My name is Kanthi and  I am the Product Manager of the Microsoft Training Catalog at Microsoft Learning. And this is my very first blog on Born To Learn. Exciting!! :)

 Let me give you a brief overview of the Microsoft Training Catalog. It is an ecommerce platform that lets you view the complete list of trainings, exams and learning plans provided by Microsoft Learning. You can also buy e-learning and e-reference products for personal consumption from the Catalog. I started working on this platform a few months back.  On day 1 of my job, I landed on the platform and my first action was to search for Sql Training on the search bar and voila, I received 0 results!! Next, I searched for Office training. Again, 0 results!  0 results retrieved for both SQL and office trainings, when MSL has over hundreds of  training products available for both these technologies! This was the brightest red flag that I could fathom about an ecommerce platform.

 Since then, my team and I have been working diligently to revamp the entire Microsoft Training Catalog, everything from the user interface to the search engine to the ecommerce experience . And today, we are very excited to have released the enhanced version of the Microsoft Training Catalog with a complete face and heart lift.

Go ahead and check out the new Microsoft Training Catalog, play around with the search and browse tools and find training that caters to your learning needs. Also remember that if you buy an e-learning from the catalog any time between today and May 31, 2010, you get a 25% discount. Find more details about the offer here.

My work on the platform is far from complete and we are continuing to innovate and improve the Training Catalog.  So when you go through the catalog, if you have any feedback to share, please do post a comment here or respond on the Microsoft Certified Professionals forum on this topic.
