Announcing Umbraco Level 1 & 2 Certification will be running in Sydney on the 31st Jan - 3rd Feb 2010.

A lot has changed with Umbraco over the past year with the release of version 4.5 and version 4.6 just around the corner the feature set and the flexibility of the Umbraco CMS has improved majorly.   Umbraco has gone from strength to strength being implemented on more than 95,000 websites world-wide and having over 250,000 downloads this year alone with companies now asking for Umbraco by name.  Along with this increase in popularity has come the need to ensure that you have an advantage when pitching for work that involves the Umbraco CMS by becoming an Umbraco Certified Professional or and Umbraco Certified Solutions Partner.

Certification gives you the official seal of approval that you know what you are doing, gives your clients confidence and the ability to use Umbraco to its full potential.

Certification gives those new to Umbraco a kick-start taking away learning curve associated with a new system. For those that have experience with Umbraco it not only solidifies foundational knowledge it also exposes new concepts and best practice.  Don't take our word for it these are comments made by past course attendees;

"I advanced greatly and learnt about a whole lot of advanced Umbraco techniques that I hadn't previously dabbled in. I had a bunch of architectural considerations bubbling round in my head before the course and am now confident about the best approach to take."

"I've been developing with Umbraco for a while and wasn't sure I'd learn much new from Level 1 but I did and it clarified a few things. Well worthwhile."

There are 2 courses.   Level 1 & Level 2. Both can be taken individually or together.

The level 1 course is aimed at developers/html developers who are new to Umbraco or to those developers who want to formalise their knowledge in the form of certification. For full details of what is covered go to the training page.

Level 2 is all about extending Umbraco.  This course assumes that the developer has been using Umbraco for a while and familiar with the Umbraco concepts.   If you are new to Umbraco and are looking at taking the Level 2 only, we would suggest that you also take the Level 1 course to get up to speed with the foundations of the system. For more information on Level 2 go to the Level 2 training page.

If you are serious about Umbraco and want to get the most out of the system we suggest taking both courses together. A package rate applies saving a considerable amount.  We also provide discounts to groups of 4 or more who book together.
