In addition to our publicly-scheduled classes, most of our instructor-led courses can be delivered on site at your location. Onsite training events are designed to meet your needs, while reducing the impact on your business. The course content, agenda and timing can be tailored to your specific needs, or you may choose the standard content for any course. Symantec Education uses a complimentary web-based skills assessment to help determine what topics should be minimized and what should be emphasized.

The minimum course delivery duration for onsite training is two days.

To register for any onsite training, please plan four to six weeks in advance. We require confirmation of the required equipment checklist and payment prior to scheduling and confirming a date for the onsite course. Once the date is firmly scheduled, our cancellation policy becomes effective.

Contact your symantec Education Representative or call (02) 3468-2184. Let your representative know that you are interested in a onsite training class. Your representative will ensure your training needs and objectives are properly understood and documented, and then schedule the course per your requirements.

The exact details of your onsite training will vary depending on your requirements. However, the following principles apply to all courses:

-A focus on your business needs and learning objectives
-Flexible content, agenda and delivery options
-Training materials provided
-Privacy and confidentiality: the opportunity to explore issues specific to your organization without members of other companies being present
-Symantec traveling equipment (if applicable): Leave the technical setup to us; we bring it, set it up and tear it down

You will receive the number of kits that matches the number of anticipated students listed on the order.

Onsite training can be held at your training location, or at an authorized Symantec Education facility. In some cases, we can also hold your training online through our Virtual Academy. This is a good option for those who would like their remote teams being trained at the same time.

You should notify Symantec Education of any specific security requirements at your location prior to the event. If special security passes or access is required, it should be fully arranged and authorized prior to the instructor's arrival.

If the event is to be delivered at a Symantec Authorized Training Center, we will provide the full training environment, including all necessary software and hardware required for the course.

If the event is to be delivered onsite at your location with our traveling equipment, then we will also provide the software and hardware required for the course.

If the event is to be delivered on-site using your equipment, we will help you identify the technical environment requirements to ensure a successful training engagement.

The number of attendees cannot be reduced within 10 business days of the start of the event.

If you cancel your registration 10 or more business days before the scheduled event start date, or if you reschedule the same private/onsite training course on a different date, you will not be charged.

If you do not show up for the event, or if you cancel on the day of the event, you will be charged one hundred (100) percent of the event fee. This charge covers everything, including related fees.

If you have technical problems while using any on-demand course (eLearning/Web-Based, CD-ROM, Instructor-Led) send an email to sesystems@symantec.com.

Please include the specific details of the issue you are encountering including your browser type and settings, the error you are experiencing, and the clicks/steps you took that led up to the error. This will help us more quickly troubleshoot your issue.

Paperless course materials are electronic versions of printed course materials, referred to as electronic books or E-Books. Symantec is replacing printed course materials with paperless course materials beginning in 2012.

At most Symantec sites, E-Books are viewed on tablets used in the classroom. At Symantec Authorized Delivery Partner locations, and for Virtual Academy classes away from a Symantec site, E-books will be distributed as either portable document format (PDF) files or as controlled PDF (PDC) files.

The student receives a tablet to use during the class with the course materials preloaded. The student will be able to annotate the course materials and take their annotated version with them at the end of class. The tablet will stay in the classroom.

For most Virtual Academy Training courses, prior to the class, the student will receive an email with a link and instructions to download the electronic course material to their computer. It is recommended that the student have two monitors during class to view the training materials on one screen and the class activities on the second screen.

If desired, the student can print some or all pages from their electronic material.

Information for Delivery Partners is on the SymIQ for Partners web site in the Announcements section for the geographic region.

For an additional charge, orders may be placed for printed course materials for a class in which the student has paid for the course. All sales are final. No returns are allowed. Contact Symantec Education.

No. Symantec Education course materials are not for sale outside of classroom training. You must attend the class to receive the course materials.
