[ncc-announce] [training] RIPE NCC Training Courses January-March 2020

Dear colleagues,

The cold winter days are the perfect opportunity for you to brush-up 
your IPv6 knowledge or learn more about the RIPE Database to manage your 
resources more efficiently. The RIPE NCC’s training team will be 
delivering face-to-face training courses in Amsterdam, London, Sofia, 
Amman, Düsseldorf, Riga, Tirana, Muscat, Stockholm, Dushanbe, Manamah, 
Minsk, and Bern in the coming months.

The membership fee covers all our training courses, so that means there 
is no additional cost to attend. Here are the training courses we 
currently deliver:

- LIR Training Course
- RIPE Database Training Course
- Basic IPv6 Training Course
- IPv6 Security Training Course
- Measurements Tools Workshop
- Advanced IPv6 Training Course (two days)
