Whether it’s hummus, a ham sandwich, or a human, almost everything in this world has an expiration date. And, Splunk Education Training Units are no exception – always expiring one year from the date of purchase. Don’t let these slip by without using them to gain access to our valuable instructor-led training or eLearning with labs. 

Training units are the currency of career advancement

Insights from our latest Splunk Career Impact Survey proves that taking Splunk Education training is paying off. According to the survey results, very proficient practitioners of Splunk are 2.7 times more likely to get promoted, and those with Splunk certifications plus higher levels of Splunk proficiency reported earning approximately 131% more than their less-proficient peers. With more Splunk skills, you're on the way to future-proofing your career!

Work with your org manager to use those training units

If you’re a Splunk user for one of our customers, make sure you connect with the person in your company who manages the Splunk training units. Let them know that you would love to take some of those already paid-for training units off their hands so they don’t expire before they get used. Oh, but if you’re just a curious learner itching to get more Splunk courses under your belt and don’t officially use Splunk at your org, you can purchase training and register for class using a credit card. No problem!

If your company has purchased a contract of TUs, please consult with your Org Manager to enroll in these paid classes.
