Web-based training accommodates lean corporate budgets and tight travel schedules.
Vision Solutions has announced its Vision Solutions University education program now offers Web-based training for its numerous solutions, making it more convenient and less costly for IT professionals to learn how to plan, implement, monitor, audit, manage or troubleshoot their HA tools.
"Vision Solutions' online training enables customers and business partners to get product education without incurring travel costs associated with offsite training," Peter Sa, vice president of services for Vision Solutions, says. "In addition to the comprehensive Web-based curriculum, we focus on specific topics and allow customers to review course material at their own pace."
According to Sa, students who enroll in Vision Solutions University's Web-based classes receive high-quality training similar to those who participate in the company's traditional classroom settings.
The web-based courses range from basic principles to in-depth knowledge and are offered as a series of modules. Customers can purchase individual courses or bundle several within each product classification. Additional online courses will be added soon featuring high availability software implementation, administration and general IBM i high availability optimization.
"We are pleased Vision offers this unique opportunity to its customers and partners because the financial situation is tough for everyone. Online education opens the doors for more IT professionals to continue learning," David Fahrenkrug, iSeries platform manager for APL Logistics, says.
In addition, Vision Solutions University offers a variety of in-person courses, hands-on training and labs to meet an organization's unique skills and knowledge requirements. In-person courses can be delivered at a customer site or taken at any Vision Solutions University global education centers.
