Microsoft Courses

We offer a wide range of courses created by Microsoft, divided into the following categories: MS Azure, Microsoft 365, database courses and Power BI. Generally, each of the courses focuses on the management and security of one Microsoft product. 

GOPAS is also known for creating its own advanced courses on Microsoft technology not covered by the official courses, which can also serve as substitution for any Microsoft courses that are cancelled.

GOPAS MVP Instructors

GOPAS courses are given by experienced certified instructors with extensive expert knowledge as well as the necessary pedagogical and presentation skills. Our instructors go through an internal system of instruction certifications. The starting title of all instructors is the widely recognized MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer), however most have achieved much higher levels of this multi-level education system.

Among the most reputable ways to recognise an instructor’s good work is the MVP award (Most Valuable Professional) given out by Microsoft. This award is presented only to a select group of experts who rank the highest in their technological area and are most dedicated to their respective communities, be it by actively sharing their knowledge, creating presentations, giving trainings or writing books.

Here at GOPAS, we have several MVP instructors:

• Jiří Činčura – .NET specialist. In addition to being an MVP award winner, he is also a Microsoft Certified Trainer. At GOPAS, he teaches MS Azure courses, among other things. 
• Vladimír Mužný – data platform specialist. His portfolio includes SQL and IoT courses. 
• Michael Grafnetter - instructor, penetration tester and researcher in the field of IT security. He teaches the following courses: Windows Server 2019/2016, Exchange 2019 or Network Security. 
• David Gešvindr -  specialist in data processing and presentation to users, cloud service architecture and database management. 

TechEd and Other Conferences on Microsoft Technology

TechEd is the largest Czech and Slovak conference for IT and database specialists, developers, security experts and everyone interested in current and future trends at Microsoft as well as the world of information technology in general.

Every year we also prepare smaller and more narrowly focused conferences on topics like PowerBI, security and more.

Our offer includes all courses for MS Office and the Windows environment including the newest MS 2016/2019 set, cloud MS 365 or the ever more popular communication platform MS Teams. GOPAS E-learning courses are intended for companies of all sizes but their prices also make them appealing and suitable for individuals.
