Novell / Micro Focus Training
Micro Focus offers a variety of courses around the Novell ZENworks product line. As a Certified Novell Instructor (CNI) and Advanced Certified Novell Instructor (ACNI) I can present many of these classes. (See the Advanced Technical Training page for more information about Novell ZENworks classes.)
Classes may be taught online or in person. Please contact me to discuss training opportunities.
(Note: as of the middle of 2016, Micro Focus Advanced Technical Training does not have any of the classes described below on the training calendar. As best as I can tell this is due to the on-going integration after the Micro Focus acquisition of the Novell business units from Attachmate in late 2014. I'm hopeful that classes will be back on the calendar soon, but in the mean time please contact me if you are interested in one of these classes.)

ZENworks Asset Management Training
Micro Focus offers Managing Assets with Novell ZENworks Asset Management (course # 8015). As the Subject Matter Expert contracted by Novell to write the course, I am certified to present this 3-day class.
The course presents a comprehensive look at how to use ZENworks® 11 Asset Management. The course begins with a review of Software Asset Management techniques applicable to any enterprise using any asset management tool. Then, after an introduction to the ZENworks Control Center and how to navigate and configure the asset management areas of the application, the features of ZENworks Asset Management - usage monitoring, document and contract management, and software license management - are presented in detail. A complete syllabus for the class is available for download here, and registration links are available on the Events page.

ZENworks Reporting Training
ZENworks Reporting is in a transition state; the SAP Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) ZENworks Reporting Server available through the release of ZENworks version 11.3 in early 2014 is on the outgoing side, while a new ZENworks Reporting product based on the open source Jaspersoft engine was released in November, 2013, and works with ZENworks version 11.2.4.
The product overlap period from now until the eventual release of ZENworks version 11.3 presents an opportunity for customers with reports in the BOE ZENworks Reporting Server product to transition those reports to the new Jaspersoft ZENworks Reporting. There is no tool to make the conversion; reports much be redeveloped on the new platform.
Formal training for ZENworks Reporting Server (BOE) has never been listed on the Novell Advanced Technical Training page, but I have developed some training and offer it as requested. Two training classes for ZENworks Reporting (Jaspersoft) are currently under development and registration is now available for classes in January and February 2014. Contact me for additional information about either of these training availabilities.
