Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers

You should have a solid understanding of Splunk Enterprise administration before jumping into this course. Ideally, you’ve already earned your Splunk Core Certified Power User and Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin certifications. If you haven’t, don’t worry. Our instructors will assess your level during a free consultation and recommend the right starting point. Some hands-on experience with Splunk searches, dashboards, and basic administration will help you get the most out of the training.
Our live Splunk Enterprise Security training runs over several weeks with flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend batches. Unlike crash courses that rush through material, we give you enough time to actually practice what you learn. Each session is instructor-led and interactive, so you can ask questions and work through real scenarios in real time. Check the batch schedule above for current start dates and timings.
100% live and instructor-led. Every session happens in real time with an expert Splunk instructor. You can ask questions, get instant feedback, and work through lab exercises with guidance. Pre-recorded videos have their place, but when you’re learning something as hands-on as Splunk ES configuration and threat intelligence setup, live interaction makes a big difference. All sessions are recorded too, so you can review them later if needed.
Splunk ES professionals are in high demand. The average salary for a Splunk Enterprise Security role in the US sits around $150K a year, with experienced professionals earning up to $180K or more. Even general Splunk Administrator roles average around $126K to $133K annually. Adding the ES certification on top of your existing Splunk skills can seriously boost your earning potential, especially in industries like government, finance, and healthcare where security monitoring is a top priority.
Life happens. If you miss a session, you’ll have access to the full recording so you can catch up on your own time. Plus, you can ask questions about anything you missed in your next live class or during your mentorship sessions. We also offer the flexibility to switch between batches if your schedule changes mid-course. The goal is to make sure nothing stops you from completing the program and getting certified.
