Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the launch of the fourth course in our training portfolio, the RIPE Database Training Course. Feedback from our surveys have shown the RIPE Database to be one of the most popular topics covered by our training, and this is demonstrated by the rapid filling up of RIPE Database Webinars once they are announced. By offering this new course, the RIPE Database element in our other three courses can be reduced, leaving more time for requested hands-on exercises in those courses. In the RIPE Database Training Course, experts from the RIPE NCC will deliver practical, hands-on training to RIPE NCC members in all aspects of RIPE Database use. This monthly course will cover such areas as: - Finding the information you need in the RIPE Database - Creating, updating and protecting your objects in the RIPE Database - Reverse delegation in the RIPE Database - Using RIPEstat to get more from the RIPE Database You will be able to gain experience using the database and practice your skills through a series of interactive demonstrations and exercises. The course is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced database users. Our trainers will cover all the basics and show you a range of useful tips that can help you in your daily operations. The first RIPE Database Training Courses will take place in Leeds from 7-8 April. These courses are already fully subscribed, but you can register for upcoming courses via the LIR Portal. Our regular email updates on RIPE Training Courses will contain information on the new course. The full course outline is available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/training/courses/rdb We hope to see you soon at one of our courses.
