Level 1 Training in the US and Canada is provided by umbraco MVP Douglas Robar of Percipient Studios who has been an active part in developing the course materials used for the official courses running in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Douglas is the most thorough and detail-oriented person I've ever worked with. And that's said in the most positive meaning. If he lived in Europe we would fly him in to run the level 1 courses, but he doesn't. Luckily he has accepted to run Level 1 courses in the US and Canada and we couldn't have found a better person"
- Niels Hartvig, umbraco founder
Douglas offers umbraco level 1 training to individuals and companies throughout the United States and Canada. He can provide training to groups large and small, including customized training sessions on-site at your business if that is more convenient or cost-effective for you.
This is the same Level 1 course as taught in Europe, covering everything you'll need to know to pass the Umbraco Developer Level 1 Certification.
A recent attendee said, "Doug was patient, knowledgeable, and a very good teacher. He has a knack for explaining things in a way that is understandable. ... The fact that he was willing and able to adapt the direction of the course on the fly made it most valuable for us. Seldom does one get exactly what they need from a training experience, but I think that's exactly what we got. ... I can't recommend him highly enough."
