Just a quick heads up.  If you are involved in SharePoint today, and want to go to the SharePoint 2010 Ignite training we are planning for January – you’ll need to be certified.  That’s right – you’ll need to have your exams done and dusted before you can register for the training.

The exams are easy (no – really they are), so if you’ve been working with SharePoint extensively for over a year, just book a date and go sit them. If you haven’t been working with SharePoint that long or extensively, you might want to do some study first, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble preparing.

The exams you’ll want to cover are as follows:

For developers:

- Exam 70-541: TS: Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 - Application Development

- Exam 70-542 TS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 - Application Development

For Infrastructure or IT Pros:

- Exam 70-631: TS: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuring

- Exam 70-630: TS: Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuring

Just thought you’d want to know.  Oh, and yes there will be a fee to go on the Ignite training, but it will be reasonable – just enough to cover costs.
