The following training programs are offered by nonprofit organizations. There is often a fee involved but some organizations do offer some free training as well.

Commercial Training
We are currently evaluating how we best address listing commercial IPv6 course offerings, of which there are many.

Courseware
We have also already received requests from universities/colleges who are seeking IPv6 modules that they can include in courses. If you are aware of up-to-date courseware that we could help promote, please do let us know. Thank you.
