Lianja Training Courses

Each team is different, and each one has different skill sets and different needs. We can work with you to build the curriculum that's right for you.

Your team learns exactly what it needs to get started building cutting edge Lianja Apps.

Customize your training even further by having Lianja Software engineers create a prototype of your App and then use the prototype as part of the training materials.

There is no better way to learn how Lianja best practices apply to your project than to see it done by an expert.

These courses will be arranged periodically in different geographic regions or can be arranged on-site at customer premises by customer request. They can also be customized for individual customers’ needs and requirements.
