Designed to help you get the most from FileWave in the fastest time possible, learn about how the FileWave Certified Administrator (FCA) course helps position you for success.
From multiple point solutions to a single unified endpoint management platform, FileWave is all about simplification. We want to make every aspect of device lifecycle management easy for IT staff. The same goes for training, both self-directed and instructor-led. Let’s take a look at each of these options.
FileWave Foundry: Where Great FileWave Minds are Forged
Sure, you could read our detailed 250-page FileWave Administration Manual. But who has time for that? The FileWave Foundry was created by the FileWave team to provide access to all things FileWave for both training and certification.
The Foundry provides over 30 hours of instruction for the do-it-yourself learner, from introductory material (basic server install) and day-to-day best practices to expert advice for engineers. Materials are provided in article and video walk-through formats and are regularly being expanded.
All of this training material is available 24/7 from any device or location. The Foundry is the perfect stepping-stone for all new FileWave users, whether directly after onboarding or for new employees who are being ‘handed the keys’ to FileWave for the first time.
Want to speed up your training and walk away knowing your environment is the best it can be? That’s where the FileWave Certified Administrator (FCA) course comes in.
FileWave Certified Administrator Course: Optimize Your IT Environment with Hands-On Training
The FileWave Certified Administrator (FCA) course was designed to help System Administrators learn how to get the most from their FileWave environment in the fastest time possible. Since there’s nothing quite like hands-on experience and seasoned feedback when it comes to training, the FCA course features a team of certified FileWave Trainers who work with you remotely or in-person, onsite or at our training facility.
The FCA course is designed to help support the day-to-day tasks of a production endpoint environment, including:

Online-only FCA students also receive up to three additional hours of valuable, personalized feedback from a FileWave expert who is versed in the very latest best practices.
