In the world of integration where things keep moving at breakneck speed, it can be a little difficult to keep up with the latest. That’s why we offer training at WSO2 to facilitate learning our products.

Currently, we offer three different types of training at WSO2: Self-Paced Learning, Online Instructor-Led Training, and Onsite Instructor-Led Training.

Self-Paced Learning

Self-paced learning is the most common form of training used by our customers. We share all our training material for free at https://wso2.com/training, and you can simply download and work on it at your own pace.

We also provide a learning-management system at https://lms.wso2.com/. This material is similar to what we have on our site but is optimized for self-paced learning.

Pros

  • Free of charge
  • Work on it at your own pace, whenever you have time

Cons

  • Carving out time for this can be a challenge
  • If you run into issues, you need to figure it out yourself
  • Only standard training topics are covered

Online Instructor-led Training

Our trainers can conduct training sessions for you using online meeting software. The trainer will share his/her screen and demonstrate the functionality in webinar style. A training session is typically 3-4 hours, and the number of sessions depends on the topics covered. The trainees can try out the hands-on exercises on their own as homework.

Pros

  • Costs less than onsite training
  • More interactive than self-paced training
  • Get your questions answered in real time
  • You can cover the standard topics as self-paced training and request instructor-led training for selected topics that you find difficult to figure out on your own

Cons

  • Less support for hands-on exercises than onsite training
  • Less individual attention than onsite training, as sharing the trainees’ screen is not recommended because it will disrupt the training
  • Difficult for highly customized topics
  • Connectivity and audio/video issues can cause delays and disruptions

Onsite Instructor-led Training

Onsite instructor-led training can be arranged at your premises as required. This is the most highly effective form of training. Training topics can be fit into 8-hour work days, and the number of days depends on the topics covered.

Pros

  • Face-to-face interaction ensures a better training experience
  • More support for hands-on exercises, as there will be a lab assistant in addition to the main trainer
  • Get questions answered in real time
  • Suitable for highly customized trainings where the trainer is given your use cases in advance. The trainer provides a customized agenda and is prepared to answer questions relevant to your specific use cases.

Cons

  • Costs more than online training

No matter which approach you choose, WSO2 training provides a fast and effective way for you to get up to speed on our products. To learn more, visit us at wso2.com/training.
