Who should attend

.NET Developers who are looking to leverage the power and flexibility of Microsoft's ASP.NET Core platform to build robust, commercial MVC web apps.

Live, instructor-led online and on-site training

We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet. 

Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
