Our mission at MongoDB University is to teach people what they need to know to create and manage great applications built on MongoDB. MongoDB University offers courses in several formats to help developers and DBAs move from design to production with confidence. All classes are taught by MongoDB engineers and include hands-on labs to give you practical experience with MongoDB. As a result, we’ve seen:
- 270,000+ students enroll in our online courses.
- Thousands of students matriculate through our in-person training classes.
- Over 200 organizations, from small startups to some of the largest companies in the world, benefit from a tailored curriculum with onsite, private classes.
- Increasing demand for MongoDB certification from professionals and employers.
We learned a lot in 2014 thanks to your feedback and comments and are excited to share a few highlights on how we’re moving MongoDB University forward in 2015.
