Our free, modular, video-based training courses, with subtitles in 11 languages on many
videos, are now available at no charge to everyone in our community and offers many
benefits. Our blended learning approach provides a short route to certification.
Plus an expanded range of fee based instructor-led training, we are now building a
substantial worldwide ecosystem of authorized training partners.
We’ve simplified processes and we now offer free recertification via our annual update
video model, which means you’ll never have to do or pay for a traditional recertification
program ever again.
We also recognize that no matter how dedicated you are, you can always use a little
motivation.
That’s why we’ve introduced several gamified achievement levels to keep you engaged,
with regular awards for progress on our martial arts-themed learning journey leading to
membership of our global community of technical experts.
And if you make it to a purple or black belt, you’ll also receive an ExtremeDojoTM package
of branded merchandise to celebrate your achievements.

As a network administrator overseeing 184 K-12 public schools, my team and I must be very
knowledgeable on a broad range of topics to support both our wired and wireless network.
With a busy schedule and limited travel budgets, the ability to access free, technical, video-
based training on-demand is critical to keep us informed. I love how the Dojo keeps track
of my progress, so I know where I have left off, and the simple layout makes it easy to move
from one module to another. I am excited to explore more! This new platform will help me in
my everyday job and will also be great as I look to advance my career with the knowledge
and achievements I earn.

Recertification
All new partners and customer certifications (ESS, EDS and ECS) last for 12 months.
Recertification is simple and free of charge and anniversary dates remain the same if
recertification occurs once a year.
We have simplified recertification and you just need to stay up to date once a year to keep
your certification live. Recertification is on line and free of charge.
You will be auto-enrolled into a recertification module 60 days before your anniversary.
This module will appear in the enrolments section of the homepage and you’ll be sent an
email notification.
You’ll get reminder emails 30 days and seven days before the anniversary. The
recertification module will contain updated video training relating to your course.
The length of the video module will depend on how much has changed in one year.
It could be as little as 20 minutes.
If there is no new training content then you will either see a refresher video, or we’ll just ask
you to re-take the course exam. Again, this is free of charge. No exam vouchers are needed.
The recertification can be completed any time up to 60 days prior to the anniversary.
Your anniversary date remains on the same each year, even if you complete your
recertification early.
Achievements
Track and log all your certifications in
our achievements section, which will
host printable certifications to validate
your success as you progress along
your journey.

We are a paper light ‘GDE Hospital’ where patient care is heavily reliant on an always-on
network. That means it’s critical that our IT staff is trained appropriately to provide
timely resolution to any issues to ensure we provide the best possible service. It is
imperative we have 99.99% network uptime. However, finding the time for training can
be a challenge and getting a week out of the office for training needs to be carefully
planned. Having access to modular video training that is available free-of-charge and
on-demand means I can take 10 minutes of training here and there, and then book into
an instructor-led class when I get the opportunity. The new ExtremeDojoTM will give me
an incentive to learn more.
