Learn the Difference between Partner and Customer Training

In customer training courses, the focus is on our customer – the system, network, and security administrators who use Symantec products in the day-to-day operation and management of their IT environment. Basic installation, common configuration scenarios, and operational tasks such as reporting, administration, and troubleshooting common problems are the focus of customer training. It also provides administrators with what they need to know to effectively install, administer, and maintain the product in their environment.
As for Partner training courses, they take a broader and/or deeper view of Symantec products to teach partners what they need to know to not only administer a product, but also how to sell the product.
