Cloudera launched online training courses for Hadoop, Spark

Cloudera, the global provider of data management and analytics built on Apache Hadoop and open source technologies, has announced Cloudera OnDemand, a catalogue of online, self-paced training classes covering Cloudera's entire portfolio of industry-standard Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark training courses.

Online training allows individuals to learn about the latest big data technologies in a searchable environment anytime, anywhere, at their own pace. Cloudera OnDemand combines recorded lectures from Cloudera senior instructors with hands-on exercises completed in a cloud-based lab environment. Students can interact with individuals from around the world allowing for more detailed discussion, archived answers to potential questions, and the opportunity to learn about different use cases. Customers that wish to keep their conversations internal have the option to create private groups.

“With Cloudera OnDemand, we've made our training courses more accessible to our customers, as well as organisations thinking about deploying a big data solution,” said Mark Morrissey, Senior Director, Education Programs at Cloudera.

“With our cloud-based lab environment, students don't need to worry about onerous hardware requirements, they simply need access to the web to start learning immediately. This is going to dramatically change the requirements of big data training and allow many more developers to flourish in a big data environment.”

Open source platforms like Cloudera Enterprise have become the de-facto standard for driving business transformation across the value chain, from compliance and cost reduction to customer intimacy and competitive advantage. However, global organisations still face a lack of trained data professionals.

Cloudera’s commitment to solving this skills gap is also evidenced by its strong focus on education, a consistently expanding curriculum based on needs and interest, and their work with governments and universities around the world driving active involvement in open source software communities.

Cloudera's OnDemand offering can be purchased as a library where individuals receive access to Cloudera’s entire suite of training content for twelve months, or by individual course title available in six-month subscriptions. All new courses developed during the subscription period are included with library subscriptions, as well as any updates to courses.

Among the courses available are Developer Training For Spark and Hadoop, Cloudera Administrator Training, and Data Analyst Training.
