wareSource.com	Pay for courseware

While impossible to draw a one-to-one mapping to IBM courses, we can give you a rough idea of how well our courses cover the significant features of the Notes client and the Domino Server. We built our curriculum independent of IBM courseware, and any correlation is coincidental. The most significant difference is that we only sell training materials, whereas in most cases, you must attend a class at an IBM authorized training center to obtain the IBM materials.

All R8 charts include only those IBM and wareSource courses shipping as of October 18, 2007. We'll keep this page updated as new courses become available. IBM courses for R8 are listed here.
