Why this program matters

  • Without advanced mastery of Elixir, 70% of scalable web applications fail under high loads according to Stack Overflow studies, resulting in estimated revenue losses of 500k€ annually for SMEs from prolonged downtime.

  • Untrained teams struggle to manage concurrency, exposing the company to critical crashes and fierce competition from ultra-high-performing stacks like Go or Node.js.

  • Your career stagnates without these distributed skills, risking rapid obsolescence in the face of the rise of AI microservices.

  • Invest now to secure performance and sustainable professional growth.

Program

Elixir curriculum: 2 modules over 2 days

Module 1 : Advanced Elixir: OTP and Supervision (Erlang VM, GenServers, Supervisors)

Discover the deep mechanisms of OTP to structure robust Elixir applications, by implementing custom GenServers to manage distributed states, configuring hierarchical supervision trees with practical exercises on real failure scenarios, analyzing log traces for effective debugging, and producing a deliverable: a functional distributed monitoring system deployed in a local cluster, strengthening your professional skills in software resilience.

Module 2 : Distributed Elixir: Clustering and Optimization (Phoenix Channels, NIFs, Ports)

Dive into Elixir clustering with advanced distributed node configurations via libcluster, optimizing Phoenix Channels for scalable real-time communications, integrating Rust NIFs to boost CPU-intensive performance, testing load scenarios with exercises on interconnected microservices, and deploying a CI/CD pipeline with Distillery or Elixir Releases, resulting in a deliverable: a full-stack distributed application ready for enterprise production.

How Elixir skills are assessed

  • Interactive quizzes and real-time coding challenges
  • Practical projects evaluated by certified experts
  • Qualiopi certification issued upon validated competencies

How the Elixir course is taught

  • Method based on concrete projects and real business cases
  • Hands-on exercises on dedicated machines in-person
  • Personalized feedback in small groups of max 10
  • Post-training resources: source code and advanced tutorials

Elixir training: access and practical arrangements

The Training Elixir - Mastering Scalable Distributed Systems 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 Elixir - Mastering Scalable Distributed Systems 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 Elixir - Mastering Scalable Distributed Systems 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.

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.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Elixir training

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.

What can participants do after Elixir training?+
They can master advanced OTP patterns to design resilient Elixir applications in enterprise settings, develop scalable distributed clusters optimized for massive workloads and implement professional supervision and fault-tolerance strategies. Those are the stated objectives of the Elixir program at Advanced level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the Elixir program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: Advanced Elixir: OTP and Supervision (Erlang VM, GenServers, Supervisors). Day 2: Distributed Elixir: Clustering and Optimization (Phoenix Channels, NIFs, Ports). The Elixir program runs over 2 days, delivered on site.
How is Elixir training assessed?+
Assessment relies on interactive quizzes and real-time coding challenges, practical projects evaluated by certified experts and qualiopi certification issued upon validated competencies. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Elixir program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does Elixir training cost per participant?+
Elixir training costs $3,150 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $5,723 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.

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 Elixir training?+
Intermediate mastery of Elixir, advanced functional programming, experience with Phoenix and Erlang VM, notions of concurrency and distribution.
Is a certificate issued after Elixir 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 Elixir training?+
No. A computer and a stable internet connection are required for each participant. Learni provides the learning platform, the trainer and all course materials.
