Here at Zabbix we aim to create software that would be intuitive and easy to set up and use, yet also powerful enough to allow flexible management of large and diverse environments.
As software gets more complex and more functionality is introduced, discovering all the power that Zabbix software can give you for monitoring your IT infrastructure may take some time. Even if you are an experienced Zabbix administrator, you still may be missing out on some great features and best practices that may also have come along just recently.
Therefore Zabbix has developed a professional training program to assist you in getting familiar with almost all Zabbix features in just a few days guided by an experienced tutor.

Training Options
There are several ways how you may apply for Zabbix Professional Training:
- On-site Training. This is the easiest and most comfortable way to participate in the professional training course, as long as you have at least 5 people to attend and a room with a projector to hold the training. You can order a session consisting of one or both courses. The main benefits of on-site training are:
- the standard content of the training programs can be adjusted to your environment upon request
- all participants are from the same company – thus specific or security sensitive topics can be discussed that otherwise would not be possible
- training at your own premises saves time and money, while giving you a chance to select the most suitable time
- Hosted Training. If you have 2 or more participants to attend both courses and a meeting room to accommodate up to 10 participants, you may host a training event at your premises. You manage the event, we invite participants from other companies and provide professional trainer. It is so easy. And to make it more interesting, two of your participants will have a free seat at both courses.
- Scheduled Training. Take part in any sessions from the current Training Schedule. This list is updated frequently. Note that the number of places is limited, so the early birds will get the seats.
You may also propose your location for the next scheduled training session by filling-out a Training Location Request. The Zabbix training team takes into account this information when planning upcoming training sessions. You will get notified when training is scheduled for the region you have requested.
Trainers
We think that quality is the key to successful development of Zabbix and is the gem that we have to preserve. Therefore we take it seriously when it comes to content, the style and the outcome of our training courses. We aim to achieve the result when each and every participant of a training course brings back home the knowledge, skills and attitude that can be later efficiently transferred into value for the company or community that a participant works for.
We select trainers carefully to ensure that they will be able to provide the result the participants and Zabbix are expecting. All of our trainers have extensive theoretical and practical knowledge of Zabbix, in-depth understanding of the monitoring field, very good knowledge of the most popular hardware and software and good communication skills.
