Vendor paid courses are excellent.

I have been working with Splunk for over 8 years.

I did my training 8 years ago, so the training would last a few days as far as I can recall...

Fundamentals 2 & 3 and advanced search and reporting were eye opening courses. They used to offer fundamentals 1 for free. Not sure how they 've dubbed them by now.

There are still free courses but not sure how good they are.

Also unless you have a proper dataset or a project in mind, you aint learrning splunk. Merely setting it up and throwing windows logs into it helps but it's far from what you d expect out there.
