    Job Training (Serious)

    How many of you get training from the company you work for. Is it internal or external training?

    Programmers only please

    Re: Job Training (Serious)

    I've attended 3 external courses (1week each) in the past 12 months, and any external MS event I want to go to.

    Training is excellent here, the whole IT team can get pretty much any course/exam they want.

    I selected "External training by a contractor" though that isn't really the case but it was the best fitting.

    My company pays for me to do online training for an MCP that I have to make my own time to do and because I've been so busy I haven't done any training for months.

    Re: Job Training (Serious)

    My last job required that we took 2 classes through them per year. They're a large bank and have the resources to train their own staff.

    As for now, my current job wouldn't pay for the gas to get there; even if I took PTO (Paid Time Off).

    Our company apparently do both internal and external training (that just sounds dirty when you say it out loud).
    I don't live here any more.

    Some of my departments developers (including myself) were sent to a .NET 2.0 developer conference in June 2005.

    We just started using .NET 2.0 last month...
