Description

The AEM Author Training course teaches AEM features, functionality, and authoring skills based on a standard project environment. This includes a hands-on introduction to AEM’s dynamic publishing, the roles and responsibilities of a content author, and the best way to work with AEM’s content management features. This training enables students to create new web pages based on different types of templates, to update and modify content on a AEM based website, and to use some of the additional functionalities such as Workflow, Forms, Campaigns, Newsletters, Reports, and creating and managing Mobile Pages.

This course is NOT a developer training; rather it introduces you to the philosophy behind AEM and how to administer content using ready-made templates.
