CONTINUING LEARNER COURSES
Continuing learner classes are independent modules to help campus IT and research professional gain cloud and data science skills. Courses are offered with a unique perspective on research and higher education. Please see our events page for the latest continuing learner courses.
CLASS ADVANCED
- Two weeks intensive learning experiences aimed at enabling campus-wide cloud adoption.
- Week 1: Participants will learn advanced cloud skills such as networking, identity management, multi-cloud architecture, databases, continuous-deployment, microservices, and AI/ML pipelines.
- Week 2: Collaborative capstone project to simulate real-world and academic use cases.
CLASS CERTIFICATION LEARNING PATHWAYS
- Combined synchronous/asynchronous learning that prepares participants for cloud service provider certifications.
- Participants guided through a learning path and testing materials by higher education cloud experts.
- Each cohort is limited to only 15 participants.
- Targeted towards administrative/central IT staff and those looking to get certified.
