Is a long list of online courses.
This one: https://episerver.litmos.com/self-signup/register/88550?type=2 states
"Please note that Developer Subscriptions require the student to have Episerver Certified Developer status at the time of purchase. You will not be given access to the eLearning courses until Episerver has confirmed your ECD status."
This means all the "developer subsriptions" require the developer to already be certified, thence not acually need courses as much as non certified devs which seems backward.
There are many courses for CMS, and the cost adds up very quickly. I have not been able to find any "learning path" or information on what coursese should be done, and in which order, which are optional, which overlap etc. There is no comparison, flow or matrix, which seems like a fundamental omision. Developers also need to understand how the editing and site admin works, so I assume these courses are also pretty mandetory. In our org there are episerver sites which are a very poor editing experience
My guess is this:
0) Getting started with DXC platform (875)
1) Developing for DXC $875
2) Advanced development $1890
3) Episerver CMS Basic editing $700
4) Episerver CMS Advanced editing $700 (what is the "ILT" version for $1000?)
5) CMS administrator $700 . (what is the "ILT" vertsion for $1000?)
6) CMS developer bootcamp ILT ($4500) . (or should this be the first one? what is the overlap)?
7) CMS Developer Masterclass ILT ($2495)
8) Personalization develoment fundamentals $875
So the cost could easily be 10,000 to do a full training. This is beyond the reach of most organisations to have per developer, and certainly out of the reach of developers to pay themselves.
Then there are a bunch of "subscriptions" which make no sense- you do a course, its done. Why subscribe? Also, as stated in the above article, developer subscriptions require the developer "to have Episerver Certified Developer status at the time of purchase.", so the developer will have had to alrady done some of all of the courses anyway.
This page: https://education.episerver.com/collections/developer-subscriptions Implies that you dont have to have certification status at the time of purchase, which is contradicting the link above. It has "plus" and non plus courses, but it doesnt say what the difference is, there is no comparison or matrix.
It says "includes relevant courses", but looking at the "agenda" (Is this the same as included courses?) there are many relevant courses missing (e.g. "developer masterclass" and "getting started with dxc platform"), so this is misleading at best and false advertising at worst.
Some of the course names and "aganda" courses dont match up, e.g. one has "EPiSerer CMS - Development Fundamentals". Is this the same as "Getting started with DXC platform" or the same as "Developing for DXC " or both, or something else?
I would love to make a busienss case for our org to pay for training, but need help to figure out what the actutal cost is.
Has anyone out there done these individual courses, and can recomend which ones are worth purchassing, and in which order?
