Im struggling really. I passed my NetBackup 6.5 Exam, but that was based purely on working experience.
 
I could not do any training or work away from the job, due to commitments.
 
Books I used was the manuals as well. No real choice like the Microsoft type of exams.
 
Would be nice if I could have web training.... well in fact ANY training I could do at home would be good. I am used to training manuals and hands on, but dont have the time to go on a course.

I've been working through the web-based NBU 7.0 training (to fill in the blanks before my cert exam).  There's not much in there that doesn't also apply to 6.5.  By the time a new admin will get to the advanced features of 7.0, you'll be there anyway.

BTW, unless you really don't like your new hire, don't subject him to the web-based self-study Symantec course.  That course needs to be yanked from the curriculum - it's absolutely horrible.  It consists of an "English as a second language" speaker reading into a teleprompter with slides you can't read unless you've got a >22' monitor at 1024x768 resolution.

We are currently using NBU 6.5 for Windows and I am trying to pass my admin duties on to a new hire.  I have not seen any training dates for NBU 6.5 for Windows for the Baltimore/D.C. area.  Has anyone had NBU 7.0 for Windows training?  Is it similar enough to the 6.5 training that we could send the new guy to 7.0 and he still get the training he needs to run 6.5?  I have emailed Symantec about upgrading to 7.0, but have not heard back and I just wanted to follow through on this possible option.
