Video Training Opportunities

Note that Grouper is a very actively developed product and these videos may not accurately reflect the current state of Grouper. The videos should, however, give you a good starting place. 


To be notified when new Grouper Training Videos become available, please add yourself to the Grouper Training announcement list HERE.  

You can click the 'Outline' links for an overview of each section's videos. Videos average 10 minutes in length.

News: As of April 2015, there are five new training videos on the Grouper 2.2 UI in the End User Video series.  There are also new training videos in the System Administrator's track on patching and upgrading Grouper.

Other Grouper training videos have not yet been updated for Grouper 2.2, however, most of the instructions in the videos still apply. 

The Curriculum is divided into these four sections:
