DELIVERY MECHANISMS
Cyara offers a variety of course delivery options to accommodate what works best for you and your
organization. These options are listed below.
Instructor-Led Training
Using industry-leading instructors, our courses will be based out of our brand new training facility
in Melbourne, Australia, as well as other facilities throughout the world. All classrooms have
comprehensive access to our Platform, and our courses allow for plenty of time to get valuable handson experience.
Virtual Classrooms
Using the same industry-leading instructors, we will provide the same course content as at Cyara HQ,
but without the cost of travel-related expenses. This may be the best options for remote teams or
dispersed resources. Note that due to the hands-on demands of some courses, not every course can be
offered in a virtual classroom.
Onsite Training
Onsite, instructor-led training can be organized for large groups as a cost-effective option. Courses can
follow standard content or can be customized to your specific training needs.
Video on-Demand
Course content delivered via video will be coming soon to the Cyara Academy. A subscription-based
option will enable access to our current and rapidly increasing video content.
Please refer to our website for more details. If you have further questions about which training option
might work best for you, or if you would like us to design a custom program for your company,
please contact us via our website.
