We’re excited to share an update to our instructor-led training program that enhances the learning experience for Splunk learners.
Starting January 1, 2025, the completion criteria for many of our Instructor-led courses will shift from lab grading to a focus on participation and knowledge comprehension. This change simplifies the learning process, aligns with industry best practices, and fosters a more engaging environment for learners. For those new to Splunk’s instructor-led training, this update will feel seamless, as it reflects the standard structure of our courses moving forward.
Updated completion criteria
- Class Attendance: Learners must attend all scheduled class sessions.
- Knowledge Check Quiz: A short, open-note quiz will assess understanding. Learners must achieve an 80% passing score and will have up to 10 attempts. These quizzes are designed to support learning and are not certification exams.
- Lab Engagement (Optional): Labs remain an integral part of the training experience but are no longer mandatory for course credit.
The rationale behind the new completion criteria
By eliminating lab grading, we aim to:
- Simplify the training process for learners and instructors.
- Minimize administrative hurdles.
- Focus on active participation and comprehension during sessions.
If you have initial questions, we encourage you to review the FAQ for more details.
Thank you for being part of the Splunk learning journey!
