About the Course
This course is part of the ‘Synology Intensive Training’ programme and offers a comprehensive introduction to ActiveProtect and ActiveProtect Appliances. The course is specifically designed for Synology Certified Trainers. By successfully passing the online certification test after the training, you will earn the official ‘Synology ActiveProtect Trainer’ certification.
After a brief introduction to the most important basic concepts and components of an ActiveProtect infrastructure (backup servers, management servers, remote storage, hypervisors), we will guide you step by step through a series of hands-on exercises that will enable you to use ActiveProtect to set up efficient cross-site data protection solutions. We will cover backing up various types of workloads (physical clients, servers, file servers, VMs, cloud services), as well as advanced topics such as air gapping, failover and integrating Synology NAS systems into your ActiveProtect infrastructure using ActiveProtect Vault, to name just a few.

How does the whole thing work?
This is a hands-on training with plenty of practical exercises conducted directly on the actual devices. During the live session, you will have remote access to a fully featured virtual desktop, from which you can connect to our hardware lab. This allows you to easily follow along with our demonstrations and hands-on exercises. For more extensive exercises, we will split into small teams, where you can collaborate via desktop sharing, observe each other’s work, and support one another. These sessions also provide a great opportunity to exchange knowledge with other business users and Synology partners. Of course, your trainer will be available throughout the entire live session to assist you whenever needed. .

Notes on the certification exam |
|
| Certification: | The exam can be taken online immediately after the event. You will have several days to complete it. Our trainers will explain the procedure and requirements in detail. All training materials may be used. Upon passing the exam, you can download your certificate immediately. Additionally, you will receive access to a logo that you can use to showcase your certification, e.g., in email signatures or on social media. |
| Recertification | Please note that the certificate typically has a limited validity, meaning you will need to undergo recertification at regular intervals (e.g., after two years). To facilitate this, we offer compact workshops where you will be informed about the most important updates. Further details about certification and the partner program can be obtained directly from the manufacturer. |
