CS Holdings` People division has been awarded Microsoft`s Gold Certification status for learning solutions. This programme is targeted specifically towards those Microsoft CTECs (Certified Technical Education Centre) who focus on the enterprise customer and who invest their business in value-added services for those customers.

"The People Solutions division`s strategy is to provide customised training solutions in line with clients` business needs," says People division MD Christine McDonald. "A critical component of our strategy is the interaction between the CS Holdings and the client, and we have positioned ourselves as business partners, working to understand the client`s training challenges, providing regular reports, analysis and assessments to ensure successful knowledge transfer. Microsoft`s Gold Certification status for learning solutions really addresses this area of our business and was a natural progression for us, and enhances our partnership with Microsoft."

"As a Microsoft Gold Certification partner for learning solutions, CS Holdings will assess, design, customise and plan training solutions for medium to large enterprise organisations," says Amory Gordon, enterprise partner group manager at Microsoft South Africa.
