BPOS - Online Training Courses
Following our announcements last week, I've had lots more questions from partners on the MS Online and BPOS offerings. As we said last week, the fundamentals for partners are the same and thus the worldwide online training is definitely useful and applicable. I checked in the Partner Learning Centre to see which courses are available, and there are 2 pages of them !
Check this little lot out !
[Disclaimer: Note some of the details may be more for the US launch versus the unique model we will have in Australia so please bear this in mind - but I am confident most of the learnings on these courses will be applicable to Australian partners.]
