# Training
Informatica offers training to help beginner, intermediate, and advanced users take advantage of the various components of the IICS platform.
Most training is free, self-paced, and can be started at any time.
Instructor-led training is not free.
DoIT is currently not able to pay for instructor-led training but it is available for purchase.
Training is organized based on the component of IICS.
Data Integration and Application Integration are the two main components of the IICS service that DoIT supports.
- Data Integration is meant for moving data in batches on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis.
Informatica also refers to Data Integration as Cloud Data Integration.
You can use Data Integration to, for example, create integrations that copy data from one database to another or copy data from a database to a CSV file.
- Application Integration is meant to support real-time integrations that process data in an event-driven or transactional method.
You might also see Application Referred to as Cloud Application Integration (CAI).
Examples of integrations suited for Application Integration include a process that connects to ActiveMQ and processes events, or a web service that captures webhooks from a system and maps the data into a database.
