Hortonworks certified Big Data Architect ?

[#1]

Does Hortonworks have plans for introducing a Big Data architect certification similar to IBM?

[#2]

This is something on the horizon, but not something we are ready to announce a roadmap for.

Hi @Adnan Alvee

I reached out to our certification team and this was their response:

"We do have plans to revamp all Certifications to align closer with upcoming courses. We are planning for an Advance Big Data Analyst course and certification which will probably match up IBMs in content and scope. Some of the topics that will be covered here are Hadoop, Spark, Pig and optionally HBase. Although we do not have a hard date for the course/certification launch, we are targeting late 2017".

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I would be interested to learn more when you are ready to announce it.
