Training

Get intensive, hands-on experience in a need-to-know skill or technology in our two-day training courses. You’ll learn from established experts in whichever of the six courses you select; you’ll get a deep dive into the core essentials from instructors who are at the top of their game and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge.

Class size for our two-day courses is limited, so you’ll get personal attention and answers to all your questions. By the end of your training, you’ll have new muscles to flex on the job; you’ll be ready to apply all that you’ve learned to your work and share it with your team.

All training courses take place 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday, June 11 through Tuesday, June 12. Participants should plan to attend both days of their training course. To attend training courses, you must register for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Tuesday.
