Proofpoint’s Technical Training Strategy Overview
“Knowledge is power” and Proofpoint offers a powerful, outcome based training strategy for our customers and partners. Rather than relying on the traditional show-and-tell method to teach new skills, the Proofpoint Technical Training Team leverages their combined 190+ years of instructional design experience, to incorporate a people-centric, role-based approach, delivered through appropriate learning levels and learning paths. Below is a summary of our strategy.
People-Centric:
The individual using our products and solutions is at the heart of how we design training. Our approach includes a training experience that results in learning how to successfully complete tasks, processes, and reports while utilizing our tried-and-true best practices.
Role Based:
We explore how a user interacts, engages, values, and experiences our products and solutions. We shifted from educating a user about a product in its entirely, to instead creating a day in the life of a successful user in a specific role. Whether you are a System, Email, Compliance, or Threats Administrator, Security Analyst, Reviewer, or Authentication Manager, your training incorporates skills, tasks, and best practices specific to your role.
Learning Levels:
Learning is grouped into three levels:
Learning Paths:
The learning paths are self-paced, level and role-based courses that are strategically grouped. The paths are sequential and skill-based to ensure you master technical content while empowering you with knowledge that will result in product and solution success. You can register for a learning path with a single click on Proofpoint Cybersecurity Academy. As an example, view our learning path options for the Security Awareness Training product. These paths include multiple courses.
