I. Overview:

The Advanced Angular training course is designed to provide students with real-life experience using advanced topics of Angular web development. 

The course will begin by discussing advanced topics related to building blocks, components, communication, lifecycle, and the component router. Students will then explore advanced topics in data binding, directives, and pipes. Next, the course will evaluate advanced services and HTTP clients as they relate to Angular. Finally, the course will discuss advanced topics related to forms, testing, and security. Throughout the course, students will work to build out an entire Angular web application.

II. Duration:
