Take Network Training to the Extreme

Extreme Connect is right around the corner, and this year, we are excited to announce pre-conference training options run by industry experts that will offer informational sessions, hands-on training, and certification exams so you can walk away with new knowledge and skills that can be used to grow your career and enhance your organization.

Each training session starts with a virtual class that can be completed prior to your arrival at Extreme Connect. These will be live virtual classes. However, if you cannot make the live version there will be an on-demand session. Once you have completed the virtual aspect of the training, you will be able to attend the in-person lab in Nashville. During the in-person lab, you will get hands-on training from your instructor, and certification will be given at the conclusion of the courses.

There are 9 different certification courses to pick from, all covering different products and information that can help you expand your technical knowledge. Below are short descriptions of course options available at the pre-conference training event.
