Looking at all the delivery options; Instructor led Training (ILT), Instructor Led Online(ILO), Online self-paced learning (On Demand), Juniper Open Learning, Junos Genius and Juniper All-Access Training Pass and not sure what’s best for you?
Knowing the best path to take is not always straight forward as opting for an online course that is self-paced may or may not see you finishing in the same period of time you would complete a course and all its objectives within a week.
Instructor led training can be perceived to be expensive when travel is required, however attending a live class remotely can provide a similar experience to being there. Motivated to arrive on time, putting your phone on silent, listening to lectures, perform hands-on lab activities and asking questions of the instructor who is watching what you type could be considered the most effective learning.
Accessing some of the free online content can be great but leave you short of being able to ask questions or find the key steps outlining the configuration to use and why. Customised training tailored to the requirements of project deliverable’s by harnessing content from several courses into a 3-4-5 or more day saves valuable time out of the field, cost for days of training you will never use and enable you to deliver your project quickly.
So it comes down to you as an individual, how you learn, how you are motivated, if you desire certification or skills or both?
If you’re not sure of where to start a quick conversation with one of our specialist Juniper Education Consultants can get you going quickly. It’s a quick email, chat or phone call away.
