IP Office training 1

[highpointrich]

May be time for me to move up to installing Avaya IP Office.
Question to all techs experienced in IPO..Is there a free or low cost way for vendors to learn IPO installation & programming..ie.cd or download manuals...I know some distributors have classes, but they can be pricey and usually require a week of sit down in a class room.I'm not sure if I want to make the investment at this time.I'm very experienced in Partner thru Definity...36 years with Lucent as a tech.
Any advice is greatly appreciated...
Thanks
Rich

go to avaya.com , download all the IPO pdf's, and toolkits. get and read all the tech bulletins. Much of the software is available for download, including many of the tools for techs.
Avaya university offers online courses for a fee, workshops for a fee. They have assesments for testing out of all the courses for the product authorixation. I did not take any courses, I studied the manuals, toolkits, read tech bulletins, and passed the ACA for implement IPO, product authorizations for CCC as well. I did have some limited exposure to cut overs, and hardware install for a co-worker who did install them. If you know someone who implements IPO, offer to do the hardware install and cvut over very cheap , and watch over their shoulder.
