The APNIC Training team had a busy year in 2015, delivering 77 courses to 2,194 people across 23 economies in the Asia Pacific.
Highlights for the year included training the whole of Niue’s IT workforce, providing training in Timor-Leste for the first time; and delivering training at 10 NOG events (bdNOG x 2, BTNOG, IDNOG, MyNOG, PacNOG x 2, SANOG x 2), including Myanmar’s inaugural NOG event.
The team also delivered 117 eLearning classes to 726 attendees. The recordings of these eLearning classes are uploaded to APNIC Training’s YouTube channel and were viewed 138,302 times in 2015.
