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.
- Regional Internet Registries – typically available on site in countries serviced by the RIR and also sometimes via webinars
Commercial Training
We are currently evaluating how we best address listing commercial IPv6 course offerings, of which there are many.
- Boson.com put together a series of IPv6 tutorial blog posts that may be of interest. (We are listing them here as they are a commercial provider of training, although these posts are free to view.)
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.
Do you know of additional training resources we should consider adding here? If so, please send them to us.
