ZEDEDA Edge Academy, launched nearly a year ago as a learning center for edge computing, announced the launch of the ZEDEDA Certification Program (ZCP), a new program for customers, partners, and employees seeking to validate their knowledge and skills with ZEDEDA’s edge management and orchestration solution.
Over the past year the audience for ZEDEDA Edge Academy courses and content has 
extended beyond ZEDEDA customers and partners to the general public. Ten courses are available to compliment dozens of product training videos, along with a robust roadmap of new training offerings in development. The launch of ZCP is the first step in enabling participants to certify their knowledge. Qualified individuals will be recognized as thought leaders within the industry and help to drive forward industry standards and best practices.
The first exam available today, the ZEDEDA Edge Orchestration Professional, is a deep dive into the ZEDEDA solution and is geared toward ZEDEDA administrators. This certifies that the individual has the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform end-to-end configuration, implementation, and operational management to meet edge orchestration requirements. The company is also developing a certification offering targeted at a wider audience to drive a fundamental understanding of edge orchestration and management industry concepts, a critical step for first adopters of the edge.
Details about the certification program, including exam blueprints, prep materials, and instructions on how to get started are available at ZEDEDA Edge Academy. The ZCP program is free for a limited time, including training and exam preparation materials. Once acquired, the certification is valid for two years.
