Training Details

Classroom Training Workshops
Proofpoint classroom training workshops provide a comprehensive curriculum with extensive hands-on exercises to promote learning and exploration of the Proofpoint solution that would be impossible outside of a safe lab environment. It's also an opportunity to learn about how other Proofpoint customers use our solutions. Proofpoint classroom training workshops are held on a regular basis at our headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

Live Online Training Seminars
Proofpoint Live Online Training Seminars are delivered through live, interactive webcasts and follow the same curriculum as the classroom training.  A Proofpoint product expert delivers the class live, so you can ask questions and get the answers you need interactively. Live Online Training Seminars are taught in 3-hour segments to easily fit your schedule.  Training materials are made available for download in advance of each class.

Custom Onsite Training Workshops
Proofpoint's Custom Training sessions take the standard course curriculum and customize the agenda based on your specific requirements.  Custom Training can be provided at Proofpoint's facilities or at the location of your choice.
