Virtual Classroom

A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend one of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

As an authorized Google Cloud Training Partner, we’ve been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this three-day Kubernetes course.

Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, you’ll explore and deploy solution elements, including infrastructure components such as networks, Pods, containers, and application services.

We’ll also show you how to deploy practical solutions including security and access management, resource management, and resource monitoring.

Our Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine course is delivered via Virtual Classroom. We also offer it as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the US.
