Should I wait until I complete one or more other classes before taking the Infrastructure Overview Course (e-Learning)?

Hi,

I am signing up for classes at the beginning of April for both the Power User and Admin Certs and have a question about the Infrastructure Overview Course (e-Learning) .

This course is optional, but I think I would like to take it now before I go to the classes (I use Splunk a little each day). Is that advisable, or should I wait until I complete one or more of the other classes before I take this course?

Please advise your thoughts.

Thank you.

Jim

I think you should do it now. It is good for anyone who wants an introduction to (or refresher on) the general components of a Splunk platform deployment and how all the pieces come together.
