Hi Ian
Cath, our systems administrator would love to attend the 'Best practices in PeopleSoft Security' course that is to be run at the Alliance 12 in Nashville, however due to budget constraints, this is not feasible. Do you think that it would be possible to include this topic (or something of the kind) in the pre/post conference training at next year's Downunder HEUG?
Kind regards
Amanda

Importance: High
Dear Colleagues
Apologies if you receive this email more than once.
Here is a list of the confirmed courses being run across the 4 week period 21 November to 16 December. Please note the change in Week 4 (new course - P/Tools Foundation) and that there are still places available in some courses. It's not too late to enrol!
Week 1 (21 - 25 Nov) - University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
- XML Publisher (Rel 8.51) - 2 days (21 - 22 Nov) - Course full
- PeopleSoft Test Framework - 2 days (23 - 24 Nov) - 2 seats still available
Worst case estimate of cost = $650 per person
UQ is sending both functional and technical staff to this course. You should not send only tech staff, as they will probably only operate in a support role for the functional staff working directly with the PTF.
- PeopleSoft Technical Overview - 1 day (25 Nov) - Seats still available
I asked Tim Burns (iO technical trainer) about the usefulness of this course for functional staff, versus PeopleTools 1. Here are his comments. Please note - UQ typically puts its functional staff through the P/Tools 1 course, but your functional staff might prefer to 'wade' rather than dive into the pool.
Technical Overview is a good, brief intro for functional people. As far as the technical overview versus PeopleTools 1, it really depends on what the functional people are looking for and what they need. We can adjust the content a bit based on the amount of time available and what people need and want, ie we could still do a little bit of hands-on building.
The way I've done it in the past, the PeopleSoft Technical Overview course is a fast-paced look at the various tools and PeopleSoft concepts. It is mostly demonstration and lecture. PeopleTools 1 is more "hands-on" with all the participants creating simple applications in Application Designer -- creating record definitions, pages, components, navigation hyperlinks, etc. I think a little bit of hands-on experience with the tools is valuable for functional people, to get an appreciation and better understanding of how the software is put together. Also, touching the tools and building a few simple things keeps people engaged with the material rather than just watching and listening to a whole day of demonstrations. It is definitely OK for functional people to attend PeopleTools 1, but for some people it is probably a little too detailed in terms of low-level property settings and such for their needs.
* Week 2 (28 - 30 Nov) - Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus
- PeopleSoft Query (Rel 8.51) - Query 1 & 2 courses compressed into 3 days. Course full
* Week 3 (5 - 9 Dec) - University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
- PeopleSoft Integration Tools (Rel 8.51) - 5 days - Course full
- Student Financials Fundamentals (Rel 9) - 4 days (5 - 8 Dec) - 2 seats still available
Worst case estimate of cost = $1900 per person
- Student Financials 'Extra Day' (Rel 9) - 1 day (9 Dec) - 2 seats still available
Worst case estimate of cost = $570 per person
* Week 4 (12 - 16 Dec) - University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
- PeopleTools 1 (Rel 8.51) - 3 days (12 - 14 Dec, 2½ days) - Plenty of seats still available
Worst case estimate of cost = $1350 per person
This course is recommended for functional staff requiring a more in depth exposure to PeopleTools than the high level material covered in the PeopleSoft Technical Overview course being run in Week 1.
- PeopleTools Delta (Rel 8.51) - CANCELLED
- PeopleTools Foundation (Rel 8.51) - 5 days (12 - 16 Dec) - NEW COURSE. Plenty of seats still available
Worst case estimate of cost = $3800 per person
This course covers all of the material in P/Tools 1 & 2. If you just want P/Tools 2 training, you can attend the second half of the course.
Please note - iO provides a training manual/guide for each course and these are included in the quoted cost.
Please contact me ASAP if you wish to enrol in any of the courses with vacancies.
For those of you already enrolled in courses, I will be sending out an email next week with details of the training venues, parking, etc.
Regards
Ian Holmes
