First UK Umbraco level 2 training available
The first UK Umbraco level 2 training and certification course is now listed on Umbraco.org and available to book through Ferguson Moriyama. The course will be on December the 2nd and 3rd at Bonhill House in London. Spaces are limited so early reservation is recommended.
It has been a mad few days getting the infrastructure to run the courses in place, but I've prepared a test run with 6 brave test course atendees who will be coming to London in the next couple of weeks.
I've spent a large amount of time in the last few days learning the course materials and adding to them where I see appropriate and I'm excited an looking forward to getting out there and getting more people into Umbraco.
I must admit I'm slightly daunted by the atendee list for the test course. The collective Umbraco knowledge in the room is going to be quite something. We've got a current MVP and at least one or two guys who are destined to be MVPs of the future. I'm working hard to be on a par with these guys and have got a few off piste activities to challenge those who finish up their excercises too quickly!
Also - I've noticed that my test course falls on the eve of the cogworks monthly Umbraco social in London so I'll be persuading my atendees to come along for what should be a pretty good turn out. Hope to see you all there.
Now back to Linq2Umbraco practice :)

Umbraco level 2 training in the UK - Be the first to be certified
After meeting with Niels before the Umbraco UK festival last week I am pleased to announce that I'll be offering Umbraco Level 2 training and certification in the UK through my company Ferguson Moriyama.
I've only just agreed to take on the training so there are no firm details yet but you can keep up to date by following @fmoriyama on twitter or by sending me an email using this contact form.
One of the first tasks is to update my site giving full details of what the training involves along with the prices, practicalities and sign up forms. You can expect this information to be online towards the end of this week.
Finally if you want the chance to be among the first to be Umbraco Level 2 certified in the UK then read on.
Within the next few weeks I'll be doing a "test course" to help me get a little bit of practice in a classroom situation. This course will lead to certification and I'd like 5 experienced Umbraco guys to come along. In return for easing me in to being a trainer you'll get a discount of nearly half the usual price.
Places on this course are on a first come first served basis so please email with your details as soon as possible.
Hope to be training you soon!
