"What do you think about manufacturer training online vs in person?"
Depends on the experiance and technical proficiency of the person at that time. If they are not very adept yet, in person training is more effective. If they are already experianced with related technical solutions, online should be fine. When I got my Microsoft Systems Engineer certification, which is a series of tests, I initially took classes related to the first several tests because I was still relatively new to IT at the time. After a year of on the job experiance, and because a lot of the information in the first few tests were related to the subsequent tests, I was ok with just studying the books for the last several tests needed.
Online training is the "modern" way of things and I'm sure a welcome option for many. Milestone will just need to take whatever steps it wants to take to insure integrity of the testing procedures.

For 10 years in my past, I taught an engineering class at a local university face to face.
There are a couple of overlooked benefits to the in person class.
1) The presenter gets much better feedback on the content of the materials presented. This allows for future improvement.
2) People have an instant way to ask questions.
Even if they do not ask many questions, the lab/homework portions will show those concepts that folks are struggling with, and thus allow the materials to be improved.
3) Networking with your classmates and instructor.

Although I prefer in person classes (it forces me to put away my phone and laptop and pay attention), the cost for the Milestone courses is prohibitive to small startup integrators such as myself.
This has actually led me to sell other products against Milestone.

I think this a good move for Milestone. One benefit of 'advanced' training was the fact you are qualified for a special 'tier 2' call-in for tech support, bypassing basic flip-chart operators and speaking directly to engineer types.
This was good, because you could skip over the basic stuff and be escalated quicker. Milestone presumes if you passed the advanced cert, you weren't hung up on basic issues.
I wonder if passing these exams will allow a similar 'bypass'?
