Cloudera Educational Services New Learner’s Platform FAQ

Our new integrated learner’s platform is now available at https://education.cloudera.com. This new platform replaces both our previous University and OnDemand platforms.

Once you log in or create a new account, you can navigate to the learner’s dashboard to access your course enrollments and training history.

Does the new Cloudera learner’s platform have a new URL, or will it be accessed via the same URL as the old platform?

The new learner’s platform has a new URL, https://education.cloudera.com

Can I use the same login credentials to access the new platform?

Yes. The learner’s platform will continue to use single sign-on (SSO) with your cloudera.com account for authentication. You will continue to sign in using your cloudera.com login and password. Note that, upon signing in to the new platform for the first time, you should review your profile to ensure that your Name and Country are correct, as well as your Company if relevant.

I do not have an account on the old platform. What do I need to do to set up an account on the new platform?

As a first time user, you will need to register with cloudera.com to create an account before accessing the learner’s platform. To set up a new account, go to the platform home page. You will be redirected to the SSO page where you can find an option to register.

When will the old platform become unavailable? Will both platforms be accessible concurrently for any period of time?

The old platform is no longer accessible. The new platform is currently live and available at https://education.cloudera.com

Are my purchases and completion history migrated to the new platform?

Yes. Your OnDemand purchases and completion history will be migrated to the new platform, but only the past 2 years of data. Details for any OnDemand training purchased or completed more than 2 years ago will not be migrated.

If I started a course but did not complete it, is my progress transfer to the new platform?

No. Enrollments in OnDemand library courses not completed on the old platform will be migrated to the new platform with a status of ‘not started’. If there are courses that you started but did not yet complete, you will need to retake chapter quizzes you already have passed. We recommend completing any in-progress courses before May 18, 2022.

Do my OnDemand courses continue to be available at ondemand.cloudera.com?

No. Cloudera OnDemand training courses will be migrated to the new learner’s platform, and the old platform will be retired. The new URL is https://education.cloudera.com.

Is a separate login still required to access OnDemand courses?

No. All Cloudera OnDemand courses will be directly accessible from within our new single, integrated learner’s platform. To access, users will continue to use their cloudera.com account credentials for authentication.

Am I able to access the same courses on the new platform?

Most of our OnDemand courses will be transferred with a new look, but not all. We have retired some courses. Here is a list of courses that we do not expect to migrate:

Effectively, yes. The time allotment is managed by the service that hosts the environments. You will still have access to your same environments with your existing remaining time.

I have only purchased individual course titles on the old platform, not a library subscription. Do I continue to have access to the individual course(s) I purchased on the new platform?

Yes. Although individual courses can no longer be purchased on the new platform, we will honor existing purchases.

Are student question forums still available on the new platform?

Yes. You will be able to post questions as they arise, and interact with other students on their posts.
