E-Learning Available For DNA Training

The new five-day DNAIE boot camp around Cisco DNA is also available in e-learning format, where partners can do the course online at their own pace and without needing to travel. Teshi said Cisco is expanding its learning options for partners around virtual labs, learning libraries and social platforms.

"Getting time out of the field, the cost of traveling and expenses to sit through training sessions with instructors – all of this is causing a huge burden on the channel environment overall," said Teshi. "So they're looking at other ways to be able to learn the same level of skills, but learn it at their own pace with mentoring and coaching from the Learning Partners as oppose to do it in a set five-day instructor training."
