Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites?
Good knowledge of Apache Kafka fundamentals, comfort with Linux and the command line, and an AWS account for the hands-on parts.

In which order should I take the Apache Kafka courses?
Start with Kafka for Beginners. Then follow the developer track (Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, Confluent Schema Registry, KSQL) if you build applications, or the admin track (Cluster Setup, Monitoring & Operations, Security) if you operate clusters. Both tracks together are the recommended preparation for the Confluent certifications.
