Apache Spark training objectives
- Understand Apache Spark's distributed architecture
- Install and configure a Spark environment
- Manipulate RDDs for fast transformations
- Use DataFrames and Spark SQL for structured analyses
- Execute distributed jobs on local clusters
- Optimize basic performance with caching
- Apply Spark to a concrete Big Data case
Apache Spark curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days
Module 1 : Introduction to Apache Spark: architecture and installation (PySpark, SparkSession)
Dive into the basics of Apache Spark, install the environment via Docker and PySpark, create your first SparkSession, explore the master-worker architecture with interactive exercises, launch Spark shells on real datasets, and generate your first execution logs to visualize distributed processing, while gaining immediate confidence.
Module 2 : RDDs: transformations and actions (map, filter, reduce)
Master RDDs, Spark's resilient core, apply map, filter, and reduce on massive CSV files, chain lazy transformations and trigger actions, test on real cases like web log analysis, debug with Spark UI, and generate ready-to-use statistical deliverables to process millions of lines effortlessly.
Module 3 : DataFrames and Spark SQL: optimized queries (joins, aggregations)
Move to performant DataFrames, load JSON or Parquet data, write native SQL queries, perform joins and groupBy on real e-commerce datasets, optimize with Catalyst, visualize results via Pandas, and export to CSV or NoSQL databases, turning your analyses into actionable insights in just a few clicks.
Module 4 : Advanced jobs and final project: caching, optimization, practical case
Execute complete jobs on a mini-cluster, apply caching and partitioning to accelerate, integrate Spark with Jupyter, solve an end-to-end project on IoT data, measure performance gains, share deliverables via Git, and leave with a concrete portfolio ready to scale in production.

FAQ
Apache Spark: frequently asked questions
Which tools are used in Apache Spark training?+
Hands-on work runs on pySpark, sparkSession, map, filter, reduce and joins. Those tools come from the Apache Spark program itself, delivered on site over 4 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after Apache Spark training?+
They can understand Apache Spark's distributed architecture, install and configure a Spark environment and manipulate RDDs for fast transformations. Those are the stated objectives of the Apache Spark program at Beginner level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the Apache Spark program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: Introduction to Apache Spark: architecture and installation (PySpark, SparkSession). Day 2: RDDs: transformations and actions (map, filter, reduce). Day 3: DataFrames and Spark SQL: optimized queries (joins, aggregations). Day 4: Advanced jobs and final project: caching, optimization, practical case. The Apache Spark program runs over 4 days, delivered on site.
How is Apache Spark training assessed?+
Assessment relies on daily practical exercises, interactive quizzes at the end of each day and final graded project with personalized feedback. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Apache Spark program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does Apache Spark training cost per participant?+
Apache Spark training costs $4,620 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $7,865 for the whole group, up to 8 people. The detailed quote, sent within one business day, adjusts the amount to the format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team.
How long does Apache Spark training take?+
4 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for Apache Spark training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before Apache Spark training?+
Basics in Python programming, knowledge of SQL and big data concepts.
Is a certificate issued after Apache Spark training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
Does Learni provide the equipment for Apache Spark training?+
