Russell has been providing monthly training to Symantec worldwide since 1998. He has gained extensive experience by providing this on-site training, as well as experience using Placeware to provide web based training in recent years.
Russell also teaches the Perforce three-day class at your company, and presents the same content as the public Perforce classes.
The on-site class is a terrific value: the content (slides, exercises) are the same as the public classes but you get a better deal by training entire departments or groups of employees on-site.
Also...
If the class wants to spend a little more time discussing topic X, because it is turning into an inpromptu software architecture meeting about source code organization or release planning, you have a Perforce Consulting Partner and Certified Trainer in the room for immediate answers.
The standard class is three days, concentrating on either command-line or Windows GUI usage. (This refers to which slides and hard-copy are provided; both interfaces can be used in the class.)
Available for the following Perforce courses:
| one-day | Condensed PERFORCE usage, includes basic information on administration. No lab. |
| two-day |
Intensive PERFORCE use for users, lab exercises on Windows/NT workstations. |
| three-day |
Two-day content, with an additional day of administration/configuration added. Lab exercises on Windows/NT workstations. |
