Cost $600 42 hours in 21 days. |
Demo Lecture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQLmbnk_3dU Tech E Training provides IT trainings in many fields. There course is for Hadoop Developer and would cover a little about Hadoop administrator as well. Pros Credentials of trainer are impressive (assuming that the claims are true). Knowledge of the trainer as a coder is good. In case you miss the lectures they would provide with the recording for that day. Cost is okay. Cons Although the Trainer has impressive credentials but is not a great “Trainer”. The presentation quality is poor. The trainer lacks professionalism in understanding the question and explanation. Background disturbance reflects unprofessionalism. At the cost such as asked, higher quality is expected. Trainer claims even person with non-coding background can become a Hadoop developer. This claim is a little dubious. In one of the webinars attended, Trainer claimed that the question asked in certification exams are from his own set of question. Indirectly claiming that he has the dumps and is a little unethical. Summary: A less quality for the costs. You will have to be asking a lot of questions to derive something good off the training. |

Content is not up to the mark 30-35 hours is a very less time to learn all the things which the course is providing Not much value for money |

Hi Admin,
Thank you very much for your article, I am planing to join Euderka for Data Scientist course.
Could you please give me your suggestion on the same.

SSR.
Thanks for posting this article, It is indeed very helpful for candidates aspiring Hadoop Training. I am here looking for an institue specifically which is best for “Hadoop Administrator” training, in terms of cost and quality of training. Could you please share your thoughts and recommendation ?.
Hi Anil,
The article is impressive and very helpful.
Would like to add reviews, I attended demo of edureka, intellipat, techetraining and bisp. I would say techetraining was the best amongst all, its reviews are impressive and the trainer’s indepth knowledge in bigdata space is immense. Would give thumbs up for only techetraining, 100%.
Best Regards,
Rutika

Thats great Madhu! Thanks a lot
Thanks for sharing. Very informative.
Thanks Anand
Hi Anil,
Super Article. Would like to add some points.
Edureka has very good marketing i agree, but according to my knowledge i found techetraining guy excellent. The presentation is not that good i agree, but the trainer is exceptional. He has dig very deep into the bigdata space, and explains with a vision. Edureka’s hadoop course is a child’s play, they just hop around the topic 100 times, but techetraining’s tutor is awesome, so those who are looking to crack the certification and interviews, techetraining is the best.
I would recommend the hadoop aspirants to go for techetraining blindly, because i have experimented a lot. Do not waste money just like that.
Thanks Namit for sharing your experience.
Hi Anil,
Glad to know about your article, i attended techetraining , edureka and intellipat webinar. My best experience was techetraining. I have done 8 sessions with techetraining, its still going on ,the trainer’s way to teach is simply awesome. The trainer is super techhy and has expertise across entire hadoop ecosystem. Awesome exposure, edureka and intellipat is a bit show off.
I do have around 8 plus years of experience in java\j2ee, what i can say is techetraining is good value for money, as they teach the non-java folks the required java components also. And the trainer is a certified cloudera data scientist, he is simply superb. 10 on 10 to techetraining for sure no doubt as i experienced it myself.
Thanks a lot anil for providing this platform, good job.
Thanks Mhd. Rasool for sharing your experience.
Hi Anil,
Like you i have attended all the webinars, but the best i found was techetraining. May be you have your own views, but after spending 15 Years as a (data architect) i can judge the knowledge of the person.
Trainer’s personal touch and practical exposure is awesome and far better than the rest. He has good trackrecord and it was a personal attention for all students that is the best part. The trainer has worked across domains in several fields into R&D. Has deep knowledge into it and explains in a fantastic way. Excellent trainer and the complete staff is awesome.
Sorry but no offence, what i felt i told, edurekas,intellipats are all meagre show offs and marketing spoofs, techetraining for hadoop is real. They show the actual vision of bigdata

We would definitely like to update and maintain ratings and reviews on this website for these trainings and also include others eventually. Your feedback is very valuable.
Please feel free to share your feedback about the training(s) you have attended(with details like their cost, duration,when did you attend) etc.
Very informative articel. Thanks alot Anil.
I am planning to join Edureka for Big data and Hadoop certification. Can you plz help me understand on Edureka certification is valued in the market. Will my profile be stronger on mentioning Edureka Ceretified Big Data and Hadoop professional?
Hi Pradeep,
Good to know that you liked the article.Thanks
Regarding Edureka Certification:-
Edureka is a firm which provides training in Hadoop. Certification provided by any such institute does not have any value in the market until it is a branded company like Cloudera, Hortonworks etc. But, as mentioned in the article, they cost a lot.
If you want to make a stronger profile, you should go for one of the certification exams for hadoop which are provided by Cloudera and Hortonworks. You can get the details here:-
Cloudera
http://cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/training/certification/ccdh.html
Hortonworks
http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-training/hadoop-certification/
There are 2 ways to prepare for these certification exams, either get trained or prepare by yourself.
Hope this helps
Thanks alot for the response. This surely helps alot
I guess its a good idea to get trained and then continue certification with Cloudera or Horton.
Thanks alot again for your time.
Hi. Thank you for this information. I have already taken cloudera training for 3 days. I spent a lot of money and did not understand a thing!!
.
I should have researched more before joining it.
Hi Satyajeet,
That is very sad that you did not understand anything even after spending a lot of money. You can send us your reviews about it and we can include it here in this site.
Very informative article. I find all the branded trainings very costly. I have enrolled for Become a certified hadoop developer which is really at a very low price. I find it excellent.
Hi Anuja,
Thanks. To help you out we have provided all this information and reviews. You can decide on all the factors as cost, quality, reviews, duration etc. The course you have chosen is definitely the cheapest of all.
