I do see 2 types of training on your website. How are they different

You are right. We offer training in 2 different formats.


1. Regular Training Program (offered both in On-line and In-Class mode)

The Regular Training program includes 32 hrs of Class room or On line training and additional 30 hrs work on Projects and Class assignments.

2. Extended training program (offered both in On-line and In-Class mode)

Based on our experience training 100’s of students in past one year, we have realized, technologies like Big Data/Hadoop and Data Science need comprehensive and extended support for Certification, Interview Preparation and On-job support. Apart from this, a new entrant in this field needs to build real life experiences in Big Data Projects to boost the Resume appeal and confidence. Based on these market realities, the extended program is a Turn-Key program designed to build Big Data professionals those can crack the Interview process and also sustain in the job.


Here are the key highlights of this Extended training program –


1.   32 hrs instructor led training that covers the Concepts, Architecture and In-Class exercises for all key Hadoop components
2.   Weekly Assignments through the Course duration (25 hrs)
3.   Additional 32 hrs (Live support) of Project work executed on Multi-node cluster with large data sets and solving real-life Industry use cases
4.   Extensive support for Hadoop Certification with a database of 1000+ quiz questions
5.   In-Depth Resume preparation
6.   Several Mock Interview sessions until you feel confident to face the Market place
7.   On-Job support for first couple of Months


Please be advised, the Extended Program needs special commitment to project work and studies to be successful at the end
