SUSE Announces Free Access To Online Training

As I mentioned in my recent blog, Fast Track Your Digital Transformation Today, the world is facing a complex and ever changing landscape of travel restrictions, school closures and work from home policies as it grapples to restrict the spread of COVID-19.

In light of the unprecedented and disruptive conditions that many of our customers find themselves operating their businesses in I am pleased to be able to announce an offer, to help alleviate this, by providing free access to SUSE online training.

Many of our customers have adopted work-from-home mandates around the world due to COVID-19.  This presents a challenge for IT data center and cloud professionals who need to keep their technology skills up to date. Now is an excellent time to get your data center and cloud teams more skilled on SUSE technologies and with that in mind we have a great offer for you.

Beginning mid-April, SUSE will make available course content from select, existing training videos on the SUSE Technical Training YouTube channel.

This offer is split into two initiatives: For the first initiative around our technologies such as SLES Administration and Clustering, we are providing videos for the opening four sections of featured course titles. The videos for these featured courses will be available for a limited time through June 30.  If your team is looking to further hone their skills on these or other SUSE technologies, then reach out to one of our training partners.  Our training partners can offer hands on, lab intensive training in a virtual instructor-led training environment that is ideal for remote employees.

For the second initiative around our technologies like software-defined storage, container administration and container application development, SUSE will provide videos of the complete courses for anyone who registers to the Accelerate Innovation Offer. These will be available through September 15, 2020. Again, if you need your employees to have the full virtual instructor-led course experience, then reach out to our training partners.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your SUSE representative and in the meantime, we hope this gesture helps customers and partners to maintain business continuity and sharpen skill levels in uncertain times.
