Training

Over time, we have distilled the training offering into two major types:

• user and admin: aimed primarily at user and administrators, takes you through everything that you can do with the user and admin interface, which is quite a lot!
• developer and implementor: aimed at peolpe that want to understand how CiviCRM works at the code level, because they want to extend it i.e. (do things with CiviCRM that you can't do through this interface)

Upcoming Training Sessions

Please see the civicrm.org home page for an up to date list of upcoming training events.  Each upcoming training session has a wiki page where you can collect notes, communicate with participants through comments, etc.
