Advanced C#

This course is designed for developers who already have some experience in C# and .Net and wish to take their capabilities further. We have come across many developers who have specific interests in C# which are not covered in standard courses, so the outline below gives an example of what we can provide. As with all our courses this outline is just a guide, and the content can be fully customized to your exact requirements. Any of the modules from our other courses can also be included. There is no price premium because it's an advanced course - just our usual daily rate.

The 3 day course costs £1770 in total for up to 6 students, plus VAT and the instructor's reasonable expenses. Each student beyond 6 would cost £20 for the additional course materials. If you are interested in this course, please contact us by email at enquiries@tgn.co.uk or by phone on +44 (0)1285 713297.
