RESTON, Va. -- Learning Tree International (NASDAQ NM:LTRE) has announced the addition of two new courses to its Project Management and IT curricula respectively that focus on the features of SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. The two courses, Leveraging SharePoint for Project Management and Administering Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007: Hands-On, both offer exercises and activities designed to provide participants with practical experience in using SharePoint technologies.

Over 3 days, those attending Leveraging SharePoint for Project Management will be taught by an expert instructor how to...
