Why this program matters

Without mastering AWS Glue, 68% of traditional ETL pipelines fail in production according to Gartner, resulting in maintenance costs multiplied by 4 and data processing delays averaging 50%.
Companies then lose 20% competitiveness in predictive analytics, exposing them to GDPR compliance risks on large-scale data.
For data engineers, careers stagnate amid rising demand for serverless skills, with salaries 30% below those of Glue experts.
Invest in this advanced training to secure your data pipelines and boost company ROI today.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in AWS Glue training?+

Hands-on work runs on s3, glue Studio, schema inference, joins, window functions and UDF. Those tools come from the AWS Glue program itself, delivered on site over 3 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.

What can participants do after AWS Glue training?+

They can master the AWS Glue architecture for professional enterprise ETL pipelines, configure advanced crawlers and Data Catalog in a certifying training and develop optimized Spark jobs with AWS Glue for data engineering skills. Those are the stated objectives of the AWS Glue program at Advanced level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.

What does the AWS Glue program cover, day by day?+

Day 1: AWS Glue Architecture: crawlers, Data Catalog, ETL jobs (S3, Glue Studio, schema inference). Day 2: AWS Glue Development: Spark Python/Scala jobs, advanced transformations (joins, window functions, UDF). Day 3: AWS Glue Optimization: performance, costs, monitoring (triggers, Lake Formation, troubleshooting). The AWS Glue program runs over 3 days, delivered on site.

How is AWS Glue training assessed?+

Assessment relies on daily technical quizzes on AWS Glue, real ETL case studies with coach feedback and final project: complete pipeline deployed live.
