Hi @kgazula ,

Thanks for your interest!  
The content is the same regardless of on-demand or virtual.  
Both have benefits, with on-demand, you can proceed with your pace.  
However, instructor-led virtual training may be more interactive and faster to adopt the technology if the schedule works for you.
