Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and Information Worker Training
SharePoint 2007 Bootcamp 12-16 June 2006 at U2U Brussels with Patrick Tisseghem as trainer.
Our Record
U2U has built up the past 5 years a strong position as a company in EMEA delivering
SharePoint and Information Worker focused courses and workshops. Patrick Tisseghem
and Jan Tielens, both awarded the Microsoft Most Valued Professional (MVP) status
for SharePoint and very active in the SharePoint community, have delivered numerous
trainings in the whole world, both directly for U2U as well as for Microsoft EMEA
and Microsoft Corp. Both have been working with the latest 2007 version since 2005
and built up a huge amount of expertise on the subject, expertise they have always
shared in the community (with the SmartPart as a perfect example of this) and compiled
a number of intensive and very hands-on driven U2U courses and workshops on the
subject.
In Q1 2007 the team was re-enforced with two new trainers, Serge Luca and Kevin
DeRudder, both well-prepared to aid in the creation and delivery of SharePoint courses.
Serge is MVP Windows Workflow Foundation, has an excellent background in .NET and
SharePoint and delivered numerous presentations and articles for Microsoft. Kevin
enforces the team for the new course targeting the power users.
There is a huge need for SharePoint training at all levels within organizations
today. Therefore, U2U has compiled a variety of courses targeting each of these
levels.
