Training on your schedule

Self-paced training is the best method for on-demand training when you need it. Perfect for learning without travel, our self-paced training options include web-based training (WBT), self-study kits (SSK) and e-books.

Web-based training provides:

  • Convenient scheduling, on-demand 24x7
  • Built-in assessments to test comprehension
  • Interactivity through software simulations and learning games
  • Cost savings by eliminating travel expenses
  • Choice of courses covering various BMC solution areas
  • Option to license content for delivery through your own learning management system

Self-study kits and e-books allow customers and partners to take courses that are not scheduled as frequently. An e-book is the full student guide of the training. An SSK includes access to a virtual lab in addition to the ebook, to run all exercises of the student lab guide.

Please note: Web-based training fees are not refundable.

The best of both worlds

Assisted Self-Paced

Assisted Self-Paced (ASP) learning has the convenience of on-demand training coupled with focused instructor assistance as well as virtual lab access. Instead of waiting for a course to be offered in your area or taking time away from the office, you can experience the same quality and individual instructor attention but with on-demand flexibility.

All Assisted Self-paced courses can also be delivered as private, instructor-led courses dedicated to a single customer. Please contact your Education Sales Rep or education@bmc.com for information on this option.

Assisted Self-Paced training offers:

  • Full course video recording – access for 12 months from date of registration
  • E-book that includes course and lab content – yours to keep for learning and exam prep
  • Virtual lab for exercises – access varies by course (e.g., 6 hours per ILT course day)
  • Focused time with an instructor, scheduled directly with him/her: you get 30 mins with a course instructor for every day you would have spent in a classroom with Instructor-Led Training (ILT). For example, 5-day ILT course = 2.5 hours of time with instructor for ASP;  2-day course = 1 hour of time with instructor for ASP
  • Community access to the collective knowledge of BMC instructors, developers, and hundreds of other experienced professionals
