TM Forum - Training

Introductory courses					Intermediate courses
These are broadly based courses that provide the delegate with an overiew of a technology or topic. The attendee will leave the course with a good understanding of the area and its relevance to their business.					While there are no subject matter knowledge pre-requisites for most introductory courses, Intermediate courses assume that the attendee is broadly familiar with the topic and is now seeking ideas for deployment within their organisation. They present a finer level of detail than found in the introductory courses.
