What can you expect from a test drive?

Test drive classes do not replace a fee-based class, which is typically 3–5 days in length, provides extensive technical depth and includes hands-on labs. Instead, test drives give you a snapshot of key technical fundamentals using the very popular ILO format.

How instructor-led online training works

Instructor-led online courses (ILO) are taught by a live instructor on a specific day and time. Most courses are exactly the same as their classroom equivalent, including the course duration, content and student materials. Here is what you need to know:

  • You receive the course materials in advance
  • To participate on the day of the class, all you need is a broadband Internet connection. This allows you to connect to a virtual classroom where you can interact directly with the instructor and your peers.
