      What is the Difference Between Annual (12 Months) and Unlimited Subscription?

      With the Annual Subscription, you have access to all current and future content of the Academy for one year from the date of purchase. The Unlimited Subscription provides the same content but with lifetime access, ensuring your subscription never expires.

      How Long Do I Have to Complete the Training?

      The content of the Academy is entirely on-demand, allowing you to progress at your own pace. You can start whenever you want, and there are no deadlines to finish. The only limiting factor is the expiration date of your subscription. However, you can upgrade to Unlimited Access at any time, ensuring you have as much time as you need to complete your training.

      What Prior Knowledge Should I Have for Learning Data Engineering?

      Ideally, you should be able to program in Python and have basic knowledge of SQL. As a Data Engineer, coding and using SQL to interact with databases are essential skills. However, if you're coming from a different field, don't worry. Our basic section includes courses and links to free external resources to help you gain the necessary knowledge.

      Can I earn certificates?

      Yes, you can earn certificates for all individual topics covered in the Academy. Additionally, we offer an Associate Data Engineer certification to demonstrate that you are job-ready.

      Do students need to create their own cloud accounts and will this incur additional costs?

      Yes, you need to create your own accounts on cloud platforms. Most major platforms offer free credits or tiers; please check their websites for details, as conditions may change. Our training is designed to utilize these free tiers and credits, minimizing extra costs.

      One exception is the AWS training, where not all services are available in the free tier. The expected charge is usually below $10/month. We show you how to set alarm thresholds at the start of the AWS training to notify you if you exceed your limits.

      Do I get an invoice after the payment?

      Yes, once you subscribe to the Academy, you will receive an invoice via email. This invoice can typically be used to get reimbursed by your employer if you have a learning budget.

      Is there a monthly payment option?

      Currently, you can choose between a one-time payment or three monthly payments. The three-month payment plan allows you to split the membership fee into three smaller installments, making it more manageable.

      How does the money back guarantee work?

      We are confident you will be satisfied with the Academy. However, if you are not, please contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of purchase to receive a full refund.

      Is there a free trial available?

      No, sorry there is no trial. We have a huge collection of over 200 videos you can watch for free on YouTube.
