What should I know before joining?
Basic comfort with the command line and with what log files are. Knowing regular expressions or SQL helps but is not required.
Will this prepare me for a Splunk certification?
Splunk offers its own certifications, issued by Splunk. This course builds skills that are useful groundwork, but it does not guarantee any exam result.
What do I need on my computer?
A laptop with enough memory to run a lab instance. Exact requirements and download links are shared in the setup guide before the first session.
Is it live or recorded?
Formats vary by batch. Ask the academy for the current schedule or watch the calendar for demo sessions.
Do I need access to real production data?
No. Labs use sample datasets so you can practise safely.
Is a certificate provided?
Completion is tracked in your portal. Ask the academy about certificate details for your batch.
Can teams or companies enrol together?
Ask through the enquiry form. Group arrangements depend on the academy.
