Sitecore USA is piloting a program to provide training through a video conferencing system provided by one of our customers, SetFocus. Video training provides all of the benefits of remote training – such as flexible scheduling and reduced costs – while still providing a connection to a real-time instructor. The training includes 100% of the curriculum, lab exercises and certification provided by in-person training. An instructor is present for the entire training and can share their desktop as well as viewing individual student workstations.
In addition to cost savings, one of the major benefits of video conferencing is scheduling. Imagine your developers are currently involved in a project but also have an immediate need for Sitecore training. In-person training requires that students be available for at least two eight-hour days to complete the SCD1 training. With video training, however, students can sign up for four four-hour days and still have the flexibility to spend half of the work day on other projects. This means that your developers can be trained in Sitecore while still completing necessary business activities.
How does it work? Trainees are sent a video conferencing unit which connects to any standard television and internet connection. The television displays an image of the instructor as well as each of the remote training classrooms. Desktop sharing is done through web conferencing software, currently GoToMeeting.
If you are interested in this format for training, contact your sales person or partner manager for more information. I will continue to post updates regarding as the program transitions from pilot to launch.
