Remote and Onsite Cloverleaf Training – Levels 1/2/3 and Tcl
When and how customers attend Cloverleaf training will vary depending on the learner’s background and experience. Having an experienced Cloverleaf developer finally getting around to attending formal classes is as common as a new hire requiring initiation into the realm of Cloverleaf. The recommendations below apply as general rules for customers coming in new to Cloverleaf.

For customers new to Cloverleaf, we recommend the following classes at the following intervals:
Education Course Name |
Recommended Timing |
Developing Cloverleaf Networks – Basics |
At the time of implementation, usually recommended by consulting services. |
Developing Cloverleaf Networks – Intermediate |
Any time following the Tcl course |
Developing Cloverleaf Networks – Advanced |
At least twelve months after the Intermediate course |
Programming with Tool Command Language (Tcl) |
Two to three months following the Basics course |
The reason for the recommended timing is to allow students to go back and practice their skills in the real world before attempting the next level. It is strongly recommended that anyone taking the Advanced course to have completed the Intermediate level training and has had at least one year of hands-on experience dealing with robust Cloverleaf implementation concepts and work.
