What is NI Training?

Reduce time to market and project risk through faster learning and increased productivity with NI products. NI Customer Education provides a variety of learning experiences for both new and knowledgeable users. Discover best practices to improve code reuse and application extensibility, whether developing alone or with a team. NI Customer Education can be experienced through the medium that meets your budget, time frame, and skill level.

  1. Instructor led training is offered in classroom or virtual offerings.
  2. Online training is also available for those that prefer to go at their own pace.

 

What is a Training Credit Approver? 

A Training Credit Approver is a identified contact at your company that will manage and approve the use of training credits included in an Enterprise Agreement. They will ultimately be the contact that works with NI's Customer Education team to get the process started for scheduling courses. Other contacts at your company can help with the coordination of courses, usually onsites, as long as the training credit approver has given approval to move forward.
