Overview
Self-Paced Virtual Classes provide the same high-quality training, courseware and hands-on experience with IBM Business Analytics and SPSS solutions as students receive in instructor-led training—but at their own pace, on their own schedule, and from the convenience of their own desks.
Self-Paced Virtual Classes (SPVC) offer a cost-effective alternative to public classroom and instructor-led online training. They are tailored to meet the technical training needs of project managers, professional authors, report creators, modelers, developers and administrators. The classes use our standard course manuals,* which are provided to students online, along with access to a web-based training lab. There is no need for students to install their own software or sandbox environment to complete the exercises.
Self-Paced Virtual Classes include:
- Guided course material and software in a fully configured hosted environment
- 8 to 40 hours of course content
- Access to the hosted environment for 336 hours over a 30-day period to allow ample time to complete the class. Please note: You have 30 days to complete your course ie: the 336 hrs must be used within 30 days, the 30-day countdown starts upon receipt of your enrollment email. Please keep this in mind when you purchase this training.
- Hands-on demos and exercises using actual IBM software
Note: The demo mentions that SPVCs offer a Print Once capability for course material. The ability to print course material is a feature that will become available with SPVCs released in early 2012 and later. SPVCs released before this time will not include this feature.
*Please note: As part of IBM efforts to minimize environmental impacts, manuals for SPVC courses are provided in online format only.
