Couchbase has announced the launch of a new Learning Services program to address the growing need to develop and expand the NoSQL talent pool. As part of the program, Couchbase will begin offering classroom-based courses that will provide multi-day, instructor-led, hands-on training in core NoSQL skills.
Couchbase Learning Services' new courses will focus on teaching students the technical skills they need to build, deploy and manage modern NoSQL databases. The first two courses offered provide students with qualifications that will make them eligible for the highest demand NoSQL job roles: NoSQL application developers and NoSQL server system administrators. Open enrollment begins for the new classes starting in June.
"Enterprise adoption of NoSQL is on the rise, and as companies increasingly run mission critical, applications on NoSQL infrastructure, they are challenged by a shortage of well trained talent," said Pete Childers, Vice President, Learning and Strategic Development at Couchbase. "By offering the most in depth, comprehensive NoSQL training available today, Couchbase will accelerate the growth and experience of professional, technical resources who are capable of managing high scale, modern infrastructure."
Couchbase Learning Services courses are designed so that students spend at least 60 percent of class time working on instructor-led, hands-on lab training. Students will learn the most important administrative tasks, such as how to install and configure Couchbase, how to run benchmark testing against a real cluster while monitoring its health, backup and restore a cluster, add and remove nodes, and troubleshoot a live cluster. Graduates of Couchbase Learning Services courses will be well trained to support and maintain highly interactive, mission critical NoSQL deployments.
The first course sessions start in June 2014.
