WildPackets Academy Introduces Web-Delivered Protocol Analysis and Network Troubleshooting Training

Instructor-Led, Real-Time Format Saves Money, Time and Travel

Walnut Creek, California - February 19, 2002

WildPackets Academy, the training division of WildPackets Inc., is now offering web-delivered protocol analysis training in addition to its current roster of public and on-site classes.

Web delivery provides an efficient method for networking professionals to get the training they need while saving the expense of travel and out-of-office time that can be associated with public class attendance. "We're very excited to be introducing our most popular 'Network Troubleshooting Methods' class as well as two brand new classes via this increasingly popular delivery medium," says Anita Lenk, WildPackets' Director of Training. "Our EtherPeek™ customers will now be able to enjoy the full benefits of our excellent teaching methodology in the comfort of their work or home office environment."

Classes that typically require three days in the classroom are presented in two and a half-hour segments, spanning five days. Students log in through a WebEx conference, using their browser to follow along with the presentation and live EtherPeek use. The instructor interacts in real-time with students, answering questions and demonstrating EtherPeek operations. At the end of each day's segment, students continue to work through hands-on exercises on their own. The instructor remains on-line for one hour after the class to answer any questions that may arise.

Registration is now open for WP-101W "Network Troubleshooting Methods Using EtherPeek for Windows", WP-101M "Troubleshooting Your Apple Network with EtherPeek," and WP-105 "AppleTalk, AppleShare IP, and Mac OS X Protocol Analysis Methods."

Information on these classes or WildPackets Academy is available at http://www.wildpacketsacademy.com. Discounts are available to enterprises with multiple attendees for the same web-delivered class.
