TYPO3 Training Method Survey

In the Internet age, a number of new training/learning methodologies have been developed and there are always the old standbys like classroom and various forms of face-to-face instruction.

In my research, it appears that the most cited reason not to adopt TYPO3 is its steep learning curve. As an enterprise level CMS/WCM, learning is always required at all user and developer levels.

This survey is an effort to determine the most effective learning methods specifically for TYPO3. Although the responses and results may be generalizable to a wider group, please answer the questions with TYPO3 specifically in mind.

This is an anonymous survey and the results will be reported in aggregate form.  There is no requirement to provide your name or email address. However, if you want a copy of the results, we are happy to provide this to all respondents if you provide your email address.

Thank you for your participation!
