Live Training

From the comfort of your desk or in-person at Arena headquarters, learn more about Arena from a live instructor.

Arena offers courses for users of any experience level. Each course focuses on a particular topic so that you can take only the ones you need. Most web sessions are 1 hour long and include 10 minutes of Q&A and discussion. The in-person class for new administrators is 2 days at Arena headquarters.

We recommend that all new users take the Arena Overview to understand the basics of Arena, including terminology, interface, commands, and navigation. Sign Up today for the next available class!

The ’How To’ series is a group of live web classes designed to prepare any user for doing something new in Arena. Because the sessions are 1 hour and are taken from the convenience of your office, they allow learning about Arena with minimal disruption to daily work. Classes include 50 minutes of instruction with demonstration and real-world customer examples and 10 minutes for questions and discussion.

Users who complete the full series will be familiar with all of Arena’s core functionality. Other users who need to complete a specific workflow or process can enroll for a single ’How To’ session.

’How To’ Web classes covering core Arena concepts are offered at 10AM and 1PM Pacific on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
