Elastic Training FAQ

Answers to all your Elastic Training questions

Elastic launched a new training portal on May 18, 2020. As part of this transition, service was interrupted from May 14-18. If you have any questions or issues regarding this new portal or the transition, please contact the Training team at training@elastic.co.

An Elastic Cloud account is required to access the new training portal. Create an account with your current training portal email address to get started. If you already have an Elastic Cloud account, you can use your existing Elastic Cloud credentials to access the new training portal.

Elastic offers training courses worldwide. We deliver instructor-led courses both in a classroom and virtually. We also offer on-demand training courses for a self-paced experience.

You may select to attend trainings in a classroom or virtually or a combination of both. For a full detailed course information (topics, duration, prerequisites, etc.) and the upcoming class schedule (day/time, city, etc.), please visit each course page below. For a list of all upcoming classes, please see our course catalog.

• Classroom trainings are instructor-led training courses conducted in person at a physical location.
• Virtual trainings are live instructor-led training courses that take place virtually on your laptop/computer with the use of most advanced learning technologies. No travel is required and you can complete virtual training from the convenience of your home or office and existing internet connection.
• On-Demand trainings are self-paced training courses which combine recorded lectures and live lab exercises. Students can master Elastic anytime and anywhere, by taking control of their own learning at a time and place that suits them.
