Other Online Training Benefits

In addition to the obvious cost benefits of online training, this training option also results in several other valuable benefits such as:

• The best training available: With ATT Online Training, you receive the same Novell ATT classes, the same instructors and the same content that is delivered live in the classroom on the Novell Provo campus or at another onsite training seminar. Our teachers are among the best in the field with plenty of first-hand experience "in the trenches."
  
  
• Flexibility: Our classes are accessible anywhere you have a broadband connection, and we can accommodate any time zone and nearly every situation. Whether used for full-length classes or specific, shorter training sessions, ATT Online offers the same sessions online that are taught at ATT Live on the Novell Provo campus each December and at BrainShare. (Stay tuned for more information about the new city-to-city tours coming in the March issue of Novell Connection. Also, visit novell.com/tours to get the latest scoop.)
  
  
• Extended reach: Because an on-line class draws from students across the country and even across the world rather than a specific geographic region, there are fewer cancellations of scheduled classes because low registration numbers. For example, to hold an onsite training, say in Chicago, at least five students need to register for the class. Those students normally would come from that geographic region, which sometimes poses the problem of reaching the registration minimum. But with ATT Online classes, students from across the globe can register making it much easier to fill the minimum number of students for any given class.
  
  
• Scalable class sizes: While the extended reach around the world usually results in a typical class size of 18 students, we can scale them to fit your need. We keep the size small enough to have individual interaction with the instructor as well as with other students.
  
  
• Specialization: Because this training option draws upon students from many locations, it allows custom training for which Novell might not have sufficient numbers to offer training in a single geographic location. Conversely, because of the cost benefits noted above, this option can make specialized training that might not otherwise justify travel in this economy attractive to you or others in your company.
  
  
• Custom Training: In the past, Novell Training Services has always delivered high-quality, custom training for individual organizations at the customer's site. Without the need to send our specialists to you, anyone in your organization can now have the same individualized training that Novell has always delivered. Now it is just over the Internet rather than in a physical classroom.
  
  

These additional benefits, together with the cost-effectiveness of ATT Online, make it the most profitable delivery method for Novell
