Interactive Ideas Announce A Solarwinds® Network Management Course For July

June 22, 2012 - PRLog -- 22nd June 2012, London, This course will help reseller partners gain a SolarWinds Certified Professional® (SCP) training accreditation, designed to validate skills in network management by testing in 5 key knowledge areas. An SCP certification places an individual within the top tier of network engineers. Resellers who invest in training to enable staff to become SCP certified will benefit from an increased profile as a provider of professional services supporting SolarWinds offerings. Resellers with certified engineers can take advantage of marketing funds to help them drive new SolarWinds marketing campaigns, new business opportunities and progression to a higher partner status.

The classroom-based courses will run this July at Interactive Ideas offices in London. They are aimed at partners’ technical teams and will provide them with an intensive three days training. On the completion of the training, partners will be required to sit an exam to receive full certification.

Michael Breeze, Marketing Director at Interactive Ideas, commented, “The SolarWinds Network Management Course is an accreditation that allows a reseller to clearly demonstrate their skills and competency around SolarWinds network management solutions to stand out in the market. We have had a great deal of interest in the Network Management Course and therefore are running more sessions this year too.”

On completion of the sessions carried out in 2011, 100% of delegates recommended others to attend this course. Akhtar Mahmood, from BT Engage IT commented “The training was excellent and well tailored with a very experienced instructor, I am utilising the knowledge gained on a daily basis”.

“Since launching in 2009, SolarWinds Certified Professional Program has recognized not just familiarity with SolarWinds network management solutions, but also practical experience in the fundamentals of network management – setting it apart from other vendor-based certifications,” said Denny LeCompte, Vice President – Products, SolarWinds. “Giving IT teams access to tools and solutions that make them better at their jobs is central to what we do, and this program is an example of our commitment to the community.

“We have recently retooled the SCP program – refreshing the exam to make the questions clearer and improving the process to make the exam more accessible to network engineers.  The training from Interactive Ideas serves as a valuable, in-person preparation tool for anyone interested in the certification.”
