Frequently Asked Questions

Why train with us?

We are known for our high- quality cloud agnostic curriculum that can provide you with the right level of expertise and guidance you need while being fully engaged. No other learning provider provides vendor-agnostic training in Kubernetes and Openstack.

What is the Mirantis On-demand Platform?

We’ve combined our cloud expertise with advanced learning methodologies to bring you the best online learning experience on a seamless platform. We now make getting Kubernetes and OpenStack certified engaging!

What can I  expect the experience to be?

We have put you, the learner, at the center of everything we do. You will have an interactive experience that builds on what you already know. We designed this based on the feedback we’ve received and continuously encourage questions and unique interests from you related to any topic. We did this while embracing fun and interactive learning through gamification. 

We focus on active learning pillars founded on dialogue with learners both with the instructor and fellow classmates. It's key that they construct their own knowledge, which is important to them retaining key learnings. In every course we have embedded quizzes aimed at testing knowledge retention.

Am I able to get a refund for my courses?

Our courses are highly rated with an overall rating of 8.7 out of 10 across various pillars. From course content, to learning experience, and instructor. We take customer satisfaction very seriously and your feedback is important to us. At the end of every course we will ask you to take a voluntary survey to gather key insights into your experience with us. Due to the nature of the online course we cannot offer you a refund, but we will ensure to work with you to improve your experience with us. 

Do the on-demand courses come with Labs?

Absolutely, our labs are the heart of our learning experience!  The integration of our real-world labs is unique. We don't just simulate the environment and provide simulated feedback. The commands our learners use are actual real commands that build on a cloud project(s) relevant to the course learnings on real infrastructure. This allows learners to learn by doing. 

How does the on-demand course work and what is the format?

The on-demand sessions allow you to access our class labs & materials at your own pace. After purchasing an on-demand seat, you will be provided instant access to our self learning portal.  The learning portal is where you will find all the Theory deliverables (presented as a recording of our instructor) as well as prompts to launch & access your labs when you reach that stage.
