If you’re looking to up your networking game, here’s the breakdown on why joining a live, instructor-led course from Versim ATP is a smart move.
Why live training beats just watching videos
1. Real-time help when you get stuck. Instead of pausing a video and Googling for answers, you get an instructor right there to explain things, answer questions and clear up confusion on the spot.
2. Hands-on stuff, not just theory. You’ll actually configure, troubleshoot and deploy networks in lab environments – so you learn how things really work, not just what they’re supposed to.
3. Structured learning. The class gives you a plan: step-by-step from basics through real stuff. That beats jumping around randomly trying to figure things out.
4. Better prep for career & exams. These classes tie into the official Extreme certification path and help you get ready for the real deals, with a trainer guiding you.
Why pick Versim for your training
* We are an official partner of Extreme Networks with established position on the market and some of the best trainers in the industry. Our trainers are people who actually work in the field. So when you ask “what do people really do in a production network?”, the guy teaching you has already been there and in 99/100 questions, knows the answer. Why not 100/100? Because each training surprises our trainers with something new – different perspective, solution, approach or invention – and that gives us motivation to look these things up and become better for our students every day.
* We discuss real-world examples – like talking about mixing Extreme/Cisco/Aruba switches and joining them in one big MSTP domain. You don’t use Cisco devices? Not a problem – pay attention and you will still learn something really valuable. It might help you in the future, when your company or customer decides to merge multiple vendors.
* Is your goal to pass the ECP exam without any issues? We got you! Tips and extra materials is something you’ll leave the training with. Self-paced training will not give you any of that. And believe us! We’ve already seen students coming off these on-demand trainings and failing the assessment. It’s not worth the time and money.
* Are you worried about falling behind at work, because you have to sacrifice few days to take part in the training? Answer yourself this then – how likely is that you’ll go through hundreds of slides and a ton of content – on your own, after hours, at home when you could for example watch a football game or take your partner for a date? We’ve been there too, trust us – it’s not effective. Use your time wisely!
What you’ll do in the class
1. During class: theory – delivered in an interesting and engaging way, with use-cases and best practices to follow. Next step? Time for you to implement all of the knowledge in the lab – configuring, troubleshooting, verifying.
2. Interaction: you’ll be able to ask “Wait, what if we did X?” or “Why do people choose Y here?” and get answers.
3. Other than that – you’ll get to experience relaxed but focused atmosphere where there is a time to learn but also time for a laid-back small talk. You’ll also get to know your international counterparts. And isn’t that the best way to share experiences and see how others approach similar things and issues you do?
Who this is good for
– Are you a network engineer or administrator who manage Extreme Networks devices? If the answer is yes – a training with Versim is for you.
– It does not matter if you are new to Extreme or already know the tech – you’ll definitely learn really valuable and useful information about the devices or software you use on a daily basis.
A few tips to get the most out of it
* Bring your real problems. Think of things you actually deal with at work (or want to deal with) and ask about them.
* Do the labs carefully and thoroughly. There is nothing better for network engineers than checking how things work in practice. We’ve seen people wasting time and not working in the labs during classes. The outcome? Failed exam. This is your time to configure, test, break stuff and ask about certain features of Extreme technology. Not only you are going to learn, but you’ll also get a head start for the ECP assessment.
* Keep the materials. There is so much knowledge provided during the training, that it’s simply impossible to remember all of it. But no worries – you get to keep the materials – student guides, lab guides etc. They are there to help you if you need a quick reminder about specific command on EXOS.
If you’ve reached this closing paragraph, that means you are serious about networking and want more than “just know enough,”. And more than enough is a live class with Versim ATP for Extreme Networks tech. You’ll get expert instruction, real-world practice, and a boost toward certification.
