More Options For Learning Brocade Technology

Brocade Education Solutions now offers more learning choices for candidates working toward Certified Fabric Professional certifications in 2010. Our most popular courses for BCFA and BCFP are all offered via three Gold Standard methods-instructor-led, web-based and virtual no-travel training-plus they are now packaged with an expanded selection of lab choices.

Throughout March and April 2010, we are featuring newly developed simulated labs. Delivered directly to your desktop and always accessible even after your course has concluded, the simulated lab environment enables self-paced practice time and exploration with Brocade equipment. Customers who prefer the simulated environment tell us they learn quickly and effectively because feedback is instantaneous, and instruction on correct procedures is clear and concise.

Like hands-on remote labs, simulated labs are experienced on your personal laptop.
