The Data Engineering Academy
- Build real end-to-end data platform projects on AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake and more. The kind you put straight on your resume and GitHub
- For people who can already code and want to get into data engineering
- Every project is built the way you'd actually architect it in production. No toy tutorials
- Taught by an engineer who's actually built this. Over a decade of experience in data engineering, including leading a team
- Get productive on a new platform fast, then extend the projects and make them your own
- Monthly live office hours with Andreas
- Associate Data Engineer Certification and individual course certificates
- Private Discord community with hundreds of members
Everything you need to go from "I can already code" to building and showcasing real data engineering projects.
The Academy Now Includes AI Engineering!
Data Engineers build the systems that make AI run.
This track shows you what's inside them.
From embeddings to semantic search to local RAG agents. Hands-on from start to finish, everything running on your machine. You'll build real tools and understand every component along the way.
For Data Engineers ready to go one layer deeper. And for beginners who want a solid foundation in AI Engineering.
Hi, I'm Andreas Kretz
Senior Data Engineer, Educator, and Founder of the Learn Data Engineering Academy
I am a Senior Data Engineer and Trainer, tech enthusiast, and a father. I have been passionate about Data Engineering for over a decade.
First as a self-taught Data Engineer and then Data Engineering team leader in a large company. When I realized how much need there was for training in this area, I followed my passion and started my own Data Engineering Academy.
Since then, I helped thousands of students achieve their goals.
I'll show you how you too can become a successful Data Engineer or use Data Engineering in your job.
Our students found jobs at:
Data Engineering is changing fast. The engineers who stay ahead are the ones who keep building.
AI is changing what tools engineers use. But experienced judgment about what to build, why, and how to make it survive scale is still entirely human.
That's why every project here is built the way you'd actually architect it in production.
Learn Data Engineering content is based on the latest market standard and is constantly being expanded.
With our expertise, we have already boosted the careers of tens of thousands of people online.
