I’ve been a little remiss not posting an update to the ignite training earlier. The Ignite training originally scheduled for January (as detailed in my last post) has been rescheduled for the following dates.
- March 8-12 – Ignite Developer – Wellington
- March 15-19 – Ignite Infrastructure – Auckland
With Ian Morrish changing roles, we’ve needed to get another infrastructure trainer, so we have got Patrick Harkins from Intergen who will be doing the training. Patrick has plenty of experience and credentials in SharePoint having passed the SharePoint Elite Infrastructure exam on the first attempt back in August (the first person to pass this exam). He has also been working with SharePoint 2010 for some time and has recently been to Singapore to go through the Ignite training there.
We’ve managed to retain Wayne Ewington from Microsoft Consulting to do the Development training in Wellington. Wayne has been working on SharePoint for some time and was in India recently doing the SharePoint Ignite Training.
The pricing remains at $1650. There are limited seats, so get in quick.
SharePoint 2010 offers enhancements to drive productivity, a scalable unified infrastructure, and flexible deployment. We are enabling partners to get trained early on SharePoint 2010 and learn about these new features and enhancements through SharePoint 2010 Ignite.
SharePoint 2010 Ignite is technical training for SharePoint 2007 professionals who are looking to upgrade their skills to SharePoint 2010.
There are two Ignite offerings, Ignite for the IT Pro and Ignite for the Developer. Each track will cover 5 days/40 hours of technical training and content:
