Microsoft Innovation Center trainings
Since the beginning, the users education was one of the Microsoft Innovation Center most important activities. After a preparation period, in 2007 the training program started. During the first two years it was mainly focused on IT security. In 2009 MIC extends its training program with interoperability. Besides that we will prepare at least one security workshop. All trainings are free and only require a simple registration. For now, all trainings are assumed to be held in Polish only.
