Complete Asterisk Training

Unlock the Power of Asterisk: Build Your Own VoIP PBX

This comprehensive training empowers you to install Asterisk on an Ubuntu Server and create a fully functional PBX with both basic and advanced features. Asterisk is a powerful solution for developers, resellers, system integrators, ITSPs, contact centers, and businesses of all sizes, offering the freedom to build custom communication solutions without restrictive licensing.

In many regions, Asterisk is the preferred choice, with 9 out of 10 contact centers leveraging its capabilities. Our students have gone on to create thriving businesses, developing dialers, call centers, and other innovative telephony applications. Many have also expanded their businesses by offering Asterisk box leasing services, often in the cloud. The demand for Asterisk professionals is high, with numerous opportunities available.

Since 2005, VOffice has trained over 2500 students in Asterisk, demonstrating its real-world applicability and cost-effectiveness. Asterisk significantly reduces costs compared to traditional T1/E1 ports, often costing less than 20% of incumbent solutions. Enjoy features like Interactive Voice Response (IVR), VoiceMail, Fax, Queues, and Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) – all available without additional fees. Asterisk is surprisingly accessible; with basic Linux knowledge, anyone can build a complete PBX.

The creator of this training was driven by frustration with the high costs of proprietary IP PBXs and the restrictive practices of vendors. The goal was to provide the best, simplest, and most trusted solutions to customers. Asterisk isn't just a PBX; it's a sophisticated phone system capable of building PBXs, Voicemail servers, ITSP providers, contact centers, and application servers. The author's commitment to Asterisk led to the publication of "Configuration Guide for Asterisk PBX" (translated into Portuguese and Spanish) in 2005, followed by achieving the prestigious dCAP (Digium Certified Asterisk Professional) certification in 2006. This expertise has fueled the creation of SipPulse Routing and Billing Solutions, specializing in SIP based solutions.

This training covers the latest Asterisk developments, including version 15 and chan_pjsip.
