The Teaching Format

The SSW Tech Breakfasts are intensive, in-depth, hands-on sessions enabling you to master the finer details of .NET technologies and return to work with knowledge of how to create impressive, robust applications.

We emphasise a more hands-on approach to training with participants encouraged to bring along their laptops so that they may be led through various coding exercises with the help of the two SSW specialist trainers. Feedback from previous participants suggests this classroom like format for learning is one in which you will derive greatest benefit. Enrolment in each session is also limited to ensure you receive the very best personal attention from each of the instructors. For further details please see the training schedule below.
