You never forget your first 1M customers. Today I am pleased to announce at 8:12am Pacific Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) just hit that magic number.
Thank you all for learning with us. Your support, feedback to make us better, and worldwide passion for just-in-time learning and readiness skills are the reasons MVA exists and thrives. This support has helped MVA become a vibrant community of IT Pros and Developers from around the world seeking free technical training from experts on Microsoft technologies.
Here are some other cool examples of your passionate support:
- The MVA customer base has grown 144% since Jan 2012.
- MVA members have experienced over 1.1M hours of training across over 300 courses, in over 11 languages.
- 600,000 unique visitors are now coming to the site every month.
This past fall, the addition of MVA Jump Starts has added a new dimension to help you get just in time information from tech experts. Jump Starts are live events that allow you to take a course live and ask questions and interact with instructors and your global classmates in real time.
As I write this post, nearly 500 people are experiencing our live interactive Jump Start class right now. In 2013 we will be expanding the frequency of our live Jump Start events and providing them on-demand.
You can check out our upcoming live and on demand events at our new Jump Start page.
While today is a great milestone, we have much larger vision for MVA we will be revealing over the coming months that will continue our commitment to help you in your job or your career.
We’d really like to hear more from you. Please celebrate with us by sharing on Facebook how MVA helped you!
