Microsoft Training - Online vs Classroom

[dcwhitworth]

Hi

 

I'm looking at MS training for my team. I've noticed that you can get self-study online training courses for a much lower price than classroom based ones. Does anyone have experience of these or recommendations of who to use ?

 

My plan would be to allocate specific days/hours for training for my team members and definitely not be using this as an excuse to not lose a weeks worth of their time.

 

Thanks

I've signed my team up too http://www.lynda.com, content looks good and it comes with an initial trial to take a look first. Covers a wide range of Microsoft and non-Microsoft software. Can't remember the exact figure - possibly around £200 - £250 per person?
