What is Umbraco Training like? What will you learn? - ProWorks Web Design, Development, and Umbraco Blog When I first signed up for Umbraco training, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it just be a run-through of documentation? A series of demos I’d forget a week later?

Ever wondered what #Umbraco training is really like?

Izabel blogged about her journey to Expert Certification and wrote about back-office extensions to MVC patterns, integrations, and security. It's hands-on & practical training.
