SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced it has extended
its popular ExtremeDojo™ training program to customers and added a
technical training pathway. Originally designed to educate
employees and global partners, ExtremeDojo now provides its
customers with modular, competency-based curricula delivered in a
modern and gamified format. Technical engineers who complete
training through the martial arts-themed program achieve a better
understanding of Extreme's products and solutions, increasing the
knowledge and skills needed to help their organizations take the
next step on their path to becoming an autonomous enterprise.
ExtremeDojo caters to a range of learning styles. Students can
choose from free, online video training or from an extensive
schedule of instructor-led classes delivered by Extreme's global
ecosystem of Authorized Training Partners, or a blended mix of
both. Either modality transfers technical knowledge and provides
hands-on experience with Extreme's solutions portfolio, giving
customers the ability to truly understand and leverage their
Extreme-powered infrastructure. Students can achieve up to eight
certifications and earn martial-arts themed belts as they progress
on their learning journey.
ExtremeDojo students will receive a Blue Belt with the
completion of one technical certification and a Purple Belt – the
color of Extreme – by gaining three qualifying technical
certifications. Those that complete five qualifying technical
certifications will achieve the ultimate Black Belt. Components of
the ExtremeDojo program include:
- Free of charge modular video-based training, with
subtitles in 11 languages.
- Accelerated time to certification through blended
learning modalities.
- Expanded choice of instructor-led training through a
worldwide ecosystem of Authorized Training Partners.
- Simplified and free recertification via an annual
"update" video module. Never complete a traditional
re-certification exam again - or pay for it!
- Gamified achievement levels are earned for progress on
the martial arts themed learning quest, leading to inclusion in a
global community of technical experts.
This new technical pathway in the ExtremeDojo program is also
available for Extreme partners, complementing the business-based
ExtremeDojo learning pathway which was launched in October 2018 at Extreme's Partner Conference.
Executive Perspective
Bob
Gault, Chief Revenue and Services Officer, Extreme
Networks
"Our enterprise customers are embracing Extreme's
autonomous enterprise vision and are looking to simplify and
automate their networks to drive their digital transformation
efforts forward. As a result, their engineers need to gain skills
and expertise to make this a reality. ExtremeDojo is a valued
training resource among partners and employees alike, so it made
perfect sense to extend and expand the program to customers looking
to deepen their technical knowledge of the Extreme Networks
products and solutions powering their digital transformation
efforts, thus removing typical training barriers of high cost and
time out of the office."
Muller Malonda, Network Administrator - Infrastructure
Services, Jefferson County Public Schools
"As a network
administrator overseeing 184 K-12
public schools, my team and I must be very knowledgeable on a broad
range of topics to support both our wired and wireless
network. With a busy schedule and limited travel budgets, the
ability to access free, technical, video-based training on-demand
is critical to keep us informed. I love how the Dojo keeps
track of my progress, so I know where I have left off, and the
simple layout makes it easy to move from one module to another. I
am excited to explore more! This new platform will help me in
my everyday job and will also be great as I look to advance my
career with the knowledge and achievements I earn."
Shabbir Tambe, Network
Manager, Luton and Dunstable University Hospital
"We are a
paper light 'GDE Hospital' where patient care is heavily
reliant on an always-on network. That means it's critical that
our IT staff is trained appropriately to provide timely resolution
to any issues to ensure we provide the best possible service. It is
imperative we have 99.99% network uptime. However, finding the
time for training can be a challenge and getting a week out of the
office for training needs to be carefully planned. Having
access to modular video training that is available free-of-charge
and on-demand means I can take 10 minutes of training here and
there, and then book into an instructor-led class when I get the
opportunity. The new ExtremeDojo will give me an incentive to learn
more."
