Training | My Verizon Business Role-Based Enterprise Curricula

My Verizon Business training equips enterprise teams with the skills to design, deploy, operate, and audit vertical solutions across healthcare, finance, retail, logistics, and public sector. Four role-based curricula — Network Engineering, Security Operations, Operations Administration, and Compliance — deliver tiered certifications recognized across the enterprise networking industry. Classroom programs run at Verizon learning centers, while self-paced tracks offer equivalent content through the learning portal with hands-on virtual labs on dedicated Private 5G and SASE testbeds.

Every enterprise contract includes a baseline training allocation — typically 40 seats across curricula, refreshed annually. Additional seats, custom cohorts, and private onsite delivery scale with deployment size. Industry-specific modules layer onto core curricula: HIPAA segmentation for healthcare teams, PCI DSS attestation for finance and retail, FedRAMP continuous monitoring for public-sector operators. The training library is curated by the engineering teams that build the platforms, so curriculum tracks platform releases within 30 days of general availability.

Classroom vs Self-Paced Delivery

Match delivery to learner schedule, team size, and preferred pace. Hybrid cohorts combine self-paced prework with a shorter classroom capstone.

Classroom — 5-Day Immersive

Live instruction at Verizon learning centers. Cohorts of 12-20 learners work through lecture, discussion, group architecture exercises, and hands-on labs on dedicated Private 5G RAN, SASE appliances, and industry dashboards. Evening study halls with teaching assistants. Dinner networking with Verizon solution architects. Travel and lodging at learner expense; group rates available at partner hotels.

Self-Paced — Learning Portal

60-90 hours of structured content depending on curriculum. Video lectures, reading assignments, quiz gates between modules, virtual labs through the browser, and scheduled instructor office hours twice weekly. Learners have six months from enrollment to complete the curriculum. Progress is saved automatically and resumes on any device. Discussion forums connect cohorts across regions. Employers receive progress dashboards on request.
