About our courses
Techionista Academy offers all kinds of longer and shorter tracks with a focus on Microsoft certifications. In addition, offer business and career skills training on, for example, your perfect resume, negotiation techniques or consulting skills.
At the moment our main course is the Microsoft Azure Certified Data & AI course (and courses that are related) which prepares women for a career in Data and AI, for example as a Data Engineer, Data Analyst, or Data Scientist.
Our courses always consist of a Hard Skill component as well as a Career Skill component.
Microsoft Azure Certified Data & AI Track
Hard skills
After completing the online Microsoft Azure Certified Data & AI course our talents hold the following three Microsoft certificates: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300), and Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure (DP-203). They will also have gained experience working with Python, SQL, Power BI, and of course Azure.
Career skills
Techionista strongly believes in the combination of Hard and Career skills. That is why we also focus on building career skills such as Personal Branding, Networking, and efficient communication. Besides this, our students also get to work on in-depth business cases from our business partners.

“Diversity is not only a matter of the balance between men and women in your organisation. It’s also the sum of experience level, previous career, personality and drive.

The Microsoft Data Track gives you a kickstart as a Business Intelligence Consultant at TeamValue.”
