Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Theme: Introduction to Kafka and distributed architecture (concepts, brokers, topics)

Participants discover the Kafka ecosystem through live demonstrations and an initial local cluster setup. They explore the concepts of brokers, topics and partitions, then complete an exercise in publishing and consuming simple messages. The day ends with a real-world business case study including basic performance analysis.

Module 2Theme: Producing and consuming Kafka messages (producers, consumers, serialization)

This day focuses on writing producers and consumers in Python. Learners configure Avro serialization, manage offsets and test fault tolerance on realistic scenarios. Practical exercises on IoT datasets help consolidate the acquired knowledge.

Module 3Theme: ETL and pipelines with Kafka, Spark and Airflow (integration, transformations)

Trainees build a complete ETL pipeline connecting Kafka to Spark Streaming and then Airflow. They deploy transformation jobs, manage checkpoints and create scheduling DAGs. A concrete deliverable is submitted to the fictional company in the use case.

Module 4Theme: Administration and monitoring of Kafka clusters (security, monitoring, scaling)

Participants learn to secure a Kafka cluster with SSL and ACLs. They deploy Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, simulate failures and adjust replication. Horizontal scaling exercises conclude the day with a review of best practices.

Module 5Theme: Final project and Kafka certification (design, presentation, best practices)

Learners design and present a complete pipeline meeting a real business need. They apply all acquired skills, receive detailed feedback and prepare their certification file. A group debrief validates the knowledge gained and outlines next professional steps.

Evaluation method

  • Concept validation quizzes at the end of each day
  • Final project evaluated by peers and the trainer
  • Skills certificate issued at the end of the training

Learning method

  • Alternation of short theory and practical workshops
  • Access to a ready-to-use cloud environment
  • Resources and replays available for 6 months
  • Post-training follow-up by email for 30 days

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Apache Kafka - Designing Reliable Data Streams program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Apache Kafka - Designing Reliable Data Streams program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Apache Kafka - Designing Reliable Data Streams program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
