SDN Academy: One Learning Format with Two Distinct Purposes

Individual/Corporate Learner

SDN Pros provides an alternate and unique learning format through SDN Academy for individual or corporate students. You get the same course material from our normal 5-day Corporate Training Model courses, but delivered at a slower pace with additional self-check materials.

Certification level course broken into eight (8) weeks
Hybrid instructor-led and self-study learning model
Lab time available for all eight (8) weeks of learning
2-4 hours of instructor lecture; once per week after business hours
Guided self-study exercises, homework, and discussions
Self-check quizzes and Final Exam
Graded and tracked for KPI management, if needed
Coming Soon: Video-based model that would allow you to take as little or as much time as necessary to complete the course from four (4) weeks to four (4) months.

University Student/Veteran Learner

SDN Pros and Arista have developed a program to earn your certification with partnering universities. We are first introducing this in the US and will be extending this globally in 2021. This is an excellent way for students and Veterans to earn valuable certifications that companies are looking for today while also earning college credits within their normal degree programs.

These programs are designed to run throughout a normal semester schedule of 8 - 16 weeks.

Interested in this type of learning over the typical 5-day model? Then look for this format when you choose your course. Some courses have this option available as an alternative to the normal 5-day or self study models even if you are not currently enrolled in a university through the SDN Academy.

Testimonials

This was a fantastic course that covered relevant topics. The labs were great. Amir is a great instructor who knows technology inside and out. He does the best white boarding with MS Paint that I've ever seen. He takes time to make sure everyone understands the topics.

Tony is a very experienced instructor. He shares his experience with students in the class which is very beneficial. I would highly recommend this class for anyone who is working day-to-day on Arista gear and wants to do automation.

Tony did a great job this week - likely one of the best instructors for networking courses i've had. His style of teaching is very clear and concise and he teaches with the intent to help you understand the material as best as possible. It's obvious he really enjoys teaching these courses.

The instructor is pretty good at teaching, I'm a visual learner so he did a pretty good job by explaining through drawing...making it easier to understand the complex content.

Tony is a fantastic instructor! He really knows the materials and goes the extra mile. When we ran into a defect in Ansible, he demonstrated how to implement a workaround and, leading by example, reported the defect upstream. That level of engagement is contagious and great to see!

Instructor was fantastic. Clearly has a strong command of the material and a great teaching style. I specifically liked the drawings as compared to "death by powerpoint"
