All About Your Training

The Vector Academy boasts a diverse team of trainers, each with their own areas of expertise. Trainers are selected for each course based on their suitability and experience with the specific topic.
Classroom
Classroom training takes place in our modern training rooms under the guidance of a trainer. All workstations are equipped with the latest hardware and software. Everything needed for the training is provided.

Please check the requirements in advance to ensure smooth participation. Detailed information about the course schedule can be found in the respective course description.
Blended Learning
Blended learning combines guided learning (remote and/or classroom) with one of our trainers and a self-study component (e-learning). You will have access to our e-learning platform at elearning.vector.com. For remote, please check the requirements in advance to ensure smooth participation. Detailed information about the course schedule can be found in the respective course description.
If required for your training, we will provide you with a time-limited license for the relevant Vector software for the entire training period.
