F5 101 exam - what F5 courses should I buy
Hi,
From my experiance, they are both good cources, but the LTM course is a deep dive and the Admin course is a prereq to any other f5 course.
So the admin course goes into how to build, setup and cluster the f5 with a small bit on load balancing.
Where as the LTM course pretty much goes straight into load balancing and what to consider and look for.
When i did the LTM course a couple of guys on it hadn't done the admin course and struggled with the basic concepts and setups that is gone through really nicely in the admin course.
In my personal view, the Admin course is a prereq to anything, and if you look after in operatons a f5 on a daily/weekly basis its a must.
The LTM course is one step above useful when you are being asked to work on or fault find on a f5. Where a better understanding of what the LTM module doing really will help.
I would also recommend the fault finding course, it really helped me to identify where to look for issues!
Hope this helps.
Thanks mate, do you know if buying these courses they give us a lab environment during the duration to play along?
Cheers

Yes it's all lab based.
From memory fault finding course was a bit light on labs.
But admin, ltm, APM, AFM, ASM are all lab based.
