Shawn, I'm surprised there are now more classroom classes for SRM. The last 2 I signed up for got cancelled 2 weeks before the start of class. Maybe with the release of 7.6, demand has gone up for SRM in a classroom setting.

I've been working with it over a year now as well, so I'm mostly just taking it to fill in gaps and see some of the changes in functionality. Although, as previous posts on the ARSList indicate, upgrading from 2.2 to 7.6 did not go well in my environment and we're still cleaning up the mess. I posted about what happened to our ITSM emails, but we've had several other issues including it breaking the ability to add people with a "Used By" characteristic within Asset Management. I was told that SRM apparently installed stuff it shouldn't have that only works with ITSM 7.6, so now we have a lot of cleanup to do in disabling that stuff.

Any pointers? I believe there is no option for taking an online course but only classroom? True?

I've definitely seen a lot more partner offerings when it comes to instructor led classroom courses and less from BMC. However, BMC looks like it is pushing all of the "BMC hosted" classes to a virtual classroom environment. A good example of this is the SRM training. It is now completely all virtual (last I checked). Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.

Online is advantageous in that you do not have to travel, it is cheaper, you can work while taking the training, or sit at home and "watch the kids" while learning. But in my opinion, having to sit in a classroom ensures that you dedicate 100% of your attention to what is being thought. Without the distractions of work, family, work... (did I say work?). Also, there are some really great instructors which don't mind staying late and showing you some cool stuff or having their brain picked at. Are instructor led classes diminishing?

I have taken WBT's before and enjoy the experience of taking an instructor led class on site, but have never done a virtual classroom instructor led training. My concern is that the Online BMC class won't have all the benefits of the classroom. Thoughts anyone?
