Our IT Dept is all about getting us Lync training this week. It's great, especially because we have so many remote offices. But I have an omonous feeling that this is a lot like the first time I trained on email ... "Hey, check this out, you can send and get these things called email messages ..."
yeah... no training required. how long is your training? I could see it being 15-30 minutes of "here's cool features that may not be totally obvious" but otherwise it's pretty intuitive...

My office has done lync training. It's a lot of intuitive. Screen sharing, meetings, I'm and email synced. Hopefully they will show you sowe stuff you don't realize is there like forwarding your phone through IM, taking control of someone else's screen through a screen share and that kind of stuff.

And also, speaking as an IT person, if you deploy something like this with no training, people complain. If you have training for it, people complain they have to go.
I'd skip it. We use Lync all the time and it's basically yahoo messenger except it automatically syncs with my calender so if I put something on the calender it will automatically switch me to busy.

We have Lync at work as well. I don't use any of the fanceh functions, just the basic communicator. Let me just say, the most recent version came out with the world's UGLIEST smilies.
