Training

Effective training goes beyond lectures and generic examples. Our approach combines expert instruction with hands-on practice and real-world application—all customized to your organization's specific domain and challenges.

# Our Training Philosophy

We believe the best learning happens when knowledge is immediately applicable. That's why our training follows a proven three-stage methodology:

# 1. Expert-Led Instruction

We begin with comprehensive coverage of MarkLogic fundamentals and advanced concepts, taught by certified professionals with decades of real-world experience. Our instructors don't just teach theory—they share practical insights gained from implementing solutions across multiple industries and verticals.

# 2. Hands-On Exploration

Learning by doing is essential. During training sessions, you'll work directly with MarkLogic, applying newly acquired knowledge to solve problems and build solutions. This isn't passive observation—it's active engagement where you experiment, make discoveries, and develop genuine understanding through practice.

# 3. Knowledge Consolidation

We reconvene to discuss what you've learned, address challenges encountered, and reinforce key concepts. This recap phase solidifies understanding and ensures your team is confident moving forward with their MarkLogic implementation.

# The Power of Onsite, Bespoke Training

Generic training materials often miss the mark. When examples come from unfamiliar domains, learners struggle to connect concepts to their actual work. This creates a mental translation burden that slows comprehension and reduces retention.

Our onsite training eliminates this barrier. We work with your team, in your environment, using examples drawn directly from your business domain. When you're building healthcare solutions, you learn with healthcare data. When you're working in finance, the examples reflect financial use cases. This contextual approach accelerates learning dramatically.

# Customized Curriculum

Every organization has unique needs, existing knowledge, and specific goals. We assess your team's current capabilities and tailor the training accordingly. Whether you need deep dives into specific MarkLogic features, architecture guidance, or end-to-end solution development, we design a curriculum that addresses your exact requirements.
