Hi! Yes—the new single-subject courses are the latest and greatest. For learners who have started their Splunk journey with Fundamentals 1 (or 2 or beyond), there will be some content overlap starting over with single-subject content.  Net-new learners are encouraged to start with the single-subject format, which is much easier to fit into your schedule (or budget) with the shorter delivery times and lower per-registration cost. There is also MUCH more free content with the new format. Thanks for the feedback re: Cisco training. We'll work with their EDU team to reference the relevant single-subject courses as recommended prerequisites! You can always email [email protected] if you're unsure as to your exact course mapping/next steps. There are people there to help! Good luck on your training journey 🙂 ... View more

Hi! Just to clarify—as of yesterday, the Fundamentals courses are no longer available for registration. So folx who haven't yet registered will be starting their journey with the new single-subject courses. More information on the new courses and how they are pieced together in learning paths can be found here: https://education.splunk.com/static/resources/Single-Subject-Courses.pdf Registration is here: https://education.splunk.com/single-subject-courses   ...

Yes—the course descriptions may indicate a recommended order (as in you may need working knowledge of one topic for maximum success/benefit from a course), but from a certification perspective, any order is fine. ... View more

That is correct. Thanks, Rich! ... View more

Hi! There are quite a few questions nested in your post, so I'll try to break them down one at a time: Are these trainings compulsory? Can I not sit in the exam if I do want to do these or pay for these? Yes. These four architect-specific courses are required for all candidates. The exam authorization will not be issued until they are all complete. Are these trainings or an exam? As in will these be one sided teaching by the instructor or will I be given a pass/fail thing, if I am unable to do it successfully?  These are all courses. The first three will be, as you described it, "one sided teaching" with labs to complete in order to earn a passing/complete status. The practical lab is ALSO a course, but does give registrants a live lab environment in which to perform the mock deployment. It is graded by instructors and is pass/fail. The trainings are in multiple time zones, can I register for any time zone, say "EMEA UK Time - Virtual" even though I am in US West. What is the difference between the two? Will the UK one be given by someone in UK. You can register in any time zone, but you must show up at the scheduled time (so make sure it works with your schedule). If I am unable to do the training after paying for it, as in I am not well, can I postpone it? I think it said somewhere I have 30 days to complete the training. None of these are self-paced eLearning. The courses are delivered by instructors in the times shown when you register. Standard EDU policies for rescheduling/cancellation apply: You must send an email to Splunk Education at least 5 business days before the scheduled start time of your class in order to avoid any penalties for late cancellation.  We close registration for many of our courses before the start date, so a late cancellation means we will not be able to fill that seat. This means that any cancellation (or no-show) within the 5-day window will not be reimbursed (via credits or other form of payment). To reschedule or cancel a registration, simply contact us with your request. Good luck on your path to architect! ... View more
