To keep up with the rapid pace of digital transformation, there is an increased need for training among both citizen and professional developers who are struggling to cope with the accelerated growth of low-code along with the ever-widening digital skills gap within the labor market. With this in mind, the Mendix Academy’s core mission is to enable a global pool of project-ready, low-code developers by standardizing certification and training programs across Mendix customers and its partner ecosystem.
“With this new training partnership model, Mendix Academy supports the growth of Mendix low-code and accelerates the enablement of thousands of makers globally,” said Leo Bras, Global Director Academy & Partner Services at Mendix. “With digital transformation accelerating across all sectors, low-code provides an effective way for organizations to ensure they can keep up with the pace of change and deliver digitalization quickly.”
By joining the Mendix Training Partner program, partners can now deliver the official Mendix training courses to their customers via their own Mendix Certified Trainers. These training programs help develop their customers’ Mendix capabilities and increase overall platform adoption, enabling growth for both the training partners and Mendix in the long run.
