When going for training…

I'm back from a SharePoint Designer class. The class was pretty "OK", but could have been better. Thanks to the course material, I did learn that SD is a very powerful tool when used for good. J I have three suggestions when considering training.

Make sure the class is a guaranteed class

The last thing you want is to wait a month for a class and then it gets canceled. You could have gone somewhere else in the interim

Check into the instructor

Have they taught the class before? What qualifies them to teach the class? I once went to a class where the instructor had never seen the product before and was going to spend the class time walking through the course material.

Shop around

There are many training vendors out on the market today and on occasion they're using the same course material. If one vendor has the class for a lower price, but you'd prefer to go to another vendor…ask them if they'll match the price.

Training money is hard to come by in this economy. Make the best of it.
