Instructor-Led Classes

January 31, 2010.

Since 1994, Manta Technologies has grown to become the undisputed leader in self-directed training for the IBM i environment. With over 100 courses and Competency Exams, Manta provides extensive training for IBM i operators, programmers, system administrators, managers, and end users. In addition, a growing number of Manta's courses are applicable to AIX and Linux installations.

Manta courses have been available on CD since 1994 and over the Internet since 2000. Now, in 2010, we are excited to announce a third option: instructor-led classes that are taught by the same industry experts who developed the CD and web-based versions of the courses.

Multiple training formats are available. One option is to have a Manta instructor deliver all material in lecture-based format. Lectures can be supplemented with computer-based exercises, including Manta's exclusive IBM i simulations. This format is ideal for students who prefer a traditional classroom environment, either due to their personal learning styles or because of their need for a structured environment away from the workplace.

A more cost-effective option is to have a group of students take Manta courses in their original format under the direction of a Manta instructor. The instructor is available to answer questions, proctor exams, and otherwise help maximize the students' training experience.

In either case, an organization begins the process by working with a Manta educational specialist to determine the content, format, and duration of the classes. Topics from any of our 100+ courses can be included to build a personalized curriculum ranging from a half day to several months in duration.

Thanks to Manta's incredible depth of training options, the students' education does not end when the instructor leaves. Regardless of the format selected, each student receives one or more Student Reference Guides to use as an on-the-job reference. In addition, the organization is provided with a MantaNow license for students who may wish to review the material in the subsequent year and for students who were unable to attend the class.
