Virtual Training
Along with in-person training, we offer a seamless virtual WatchGuard training environment, in which you get the full experience, just like you were sitting in a classroom. The virtual option is offered for all classes in order to accommodate all of our student’s needs. With the virtual experience, you can still interact with the instructor, just as if you were sitting in the physical classroom. Each student is set up with their own WatchGuard firewall and Windows environment. The only requirement for our virtual training is that you have the ability to access a remote desktop.
Custom On-Site Training
It’s often not easy, or even possible, to get your entire team away from the office for a week of training. With the time away from the office, plus the expense of travel, the idea of formal training can be too much for many organizations. Often times the decision is made to just not have the staff formerly trained, leading to extended troubleshooting time and costs.
Let us make it easy on you. With our custom on-site training offering, we will come to you. We charge a flat rate with no additional travel fees, so you know exactly what it will cost. Our WatchGuard Certified Trainer will travel to your location to train your staff, just as if you were sitting in our training facility. We also provide the lab environment to ensure a seamless training experience. In the end, you can rest easy knowing your staff will be better suited to maintain your WatchGuard device in a more secure manner.
