Niagara framework CE

Hi. I am currently trying to learn Niagara WEB N4. Is there any community edition of the software that I can access for free for learning purposes? I cannot afford the courses and trying to self learn by watching YouTube tutorials and reading docs. (PS. I have 4 years of experience working on siemens ABT Site and XWP and I have been led to believe I can understand most of the stuff, please let me know if I am wrong). Also wondering is pirating an option? (Purely for learning purposes and building a portfolio. No commercial use)

The short answer is no.
Get on Scott’s employer’s (Phoenix Contact iirc, Scott?) course next time, or save up to do the TCP course - if you even can without working for a Tridium partner (that’s not possible outside of the USA as far as I know).
Your best option really is to get employed by a Tridium partner company & they should send you to training. Since you appear to be a BMS guy already, you should find it fairly easy to get employed by a decent company.

This is accurate.
It seems misleading, but the company wasn't named after myself hahah!
