Training Courses
AXUG facilitates training course offerings on occasion, particularly in the cases where a critical mass of members are present such as the AXUG Summit. These courses are screened to ensure quality. They are designed in response to specific learning demands of the membership.
Participation in the courses carries a training course fee, usually separate from membership fees or conference fees. This, like all AXUG programming, is designed to cover the costs associated with facilitating the course. The value proposition to members is that the size and critical mass of AXUG will help the price per student to be driven down. Therefore, AXUG strives to facilitate training course offerings that are priced at or lower than courses normally available in the market.
The courses are always offered by qualified trainers with approved curriculum. The courses are often specific and topical in nature and can be thought of as a “deep dive” into a certain area. On other occasions, courses are offered over a longer term for those users seeking certification. The Certification courses result in the ability and preparedness to sit for the certification exam.

Education Committee

AXUG Certifications
AXUG will be offering specific Certifications for Dynamics AX end-user skills attained through training courses. Eventually, the AXUG Certifications should be recognized industry-wide and will provide a predictable level of skills for those persons possessing these Certifications.
