Citrix Training and Certification Courses in Australia

Citrix training in Australia for virtualisation, NetScaler and app delivery, with live online or classroom training, practical labs and exam-ready admin skills at work.

Citrix is one of the best known names in virtualisation, the technology that lets people run their applications and desktops from a central server and reach them securely from anywhere. Its Virtual Apps and Desktops platform, along with NetScaler for application delivery and secure access, runs in many large Australian organisations, particularly in government, banking and healthcare where secure remote access matters. Logitrain delivers instructor led, hands on Citrix training across virtualisation and networking, run in a virtual lab environment so you build skills you can use at work. Our Citrix courses include the official certification exam, which you can sit at our training centre, and every course is backed by our price beat guarantee.

You can train in person in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, live online in real time anywhere in Australia, or in house at your workplace, with full time and part time options to suit your schedule. Whether your work is desktop and application virtualisation or NetScaler application delivery and secure access, there is a certification pathway here, and our team can help you choose the right starting point.

What Citrix Does, Virtual Apps and Desktops and NetScaler

Citrix technology falls into two main areas, and the certifications follow them. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, once known as XenApp and XenDesktop, is the virtualisation platform, it delivers desktops and applications to users from a central location, whether on premises or through Citrix Cloud as a service. NetScaler, previously known as Citrix ADC, is the application delivery controller, it manages and secures application traffic with load balancing, traffic management and secure remote access through Citrix Gateway. When people search for Citrix NetScaler training, this is the product they mean, and we cover both areas.

The Citrix Certification Pathway

Citrix certifications run across three levels, in each of its main technology tracks.

Citrix Certified Associate (CCA)

The Associate level is the entry point. In virtualisation, the Citrix Certified Associate, Virtualization covers installing, configuring and managing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. In networking, the associate level NetScaler course covers deploying and managing NetScaler for traffic management and secure access. These suit administrators new to Citrix.

Citrix Certified Professional (CCP)

The Professional level builds on the Associate level, for engineers and consultants who manage and support more complex Citrix environments. It goes deeper into design, advanced configuration and troubleshooting.

Citrix Certified Expert (CCE)

The Expert level is the most advanced, for senior engineers and architects who design enterprise Citrix solutions. It sits at the top of the Citrix pathway.

Citrix Courses Online and Across Australia

You can study Citrix with Logitrain in the classroom in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, live online in real time from anywhere in Australia, or in house at your workplace. Live online students join the same class as the room and work through the labs in a virtual environment in real time, rather than watching a recording. Classes run full time over consecutive days, or part time to fit around your job. Whichever way you choose, the trainer, the lab access and the official exam are the same.

Which Citrix Course Should You Start With

It depends on your area. If you work with desktops and applications, start with the Citrix Certified Associate in virtualisation, covering Virtual Apps and Desktops. If your focus is networking and application delivery, start with the associate level NetScaler course. From there you move up through the Professional and Expert levels as your experience grows. If you are not sure where you fit, tell our team your background and your goal, and we will point you to the right starting course.

Citrix Careers in Australia

Citrix skills are valued in the organisations that run virtual desktop and application environments, which remain common across Australian government, banking, healthcare and large enterprise, particularly where secure remote access is important. Citrix certified professionals work as virtualisation engineers, desktop and application delivery specialists, NetScaler and application delivery engineers, and infrastructure administrators. Because Citrix is a specialised platform, certified people are not common, which makes the skill set valuable to the employers who depend on it. If you want to broaden across infrastructure and the cloud, see our cloud computing courses as well.
