* Funding programs, many of which are government or military sponsored, are governed by those entities and thus subject to their requirements, restrictions, limitations, and deadlines with which ONLC must comply. ONLC does not offer nor can ONLC grant funding, exceptions, changes or extensions for these programs.
ONLC's Career FastTrack programs are not applicable for other discounts or offers from ONLC or third parties.
** ONLC's live, Instructor-Led Training not addressing specific software such as ITIL and Scrum will have less of a hands-on component and will be more lecture/presentation delivery.
*** ONLC includes an exam prep and voucher when possible, however, there are some topics where that is not an option. If an exam prep/practice test is not available then ONLC's exam pass guarantee is not applicable.
