We also have this discussion area on our Community Site if you have any particular issues or questions around the training. That’s true for any of our online training courses.

Are you a Certified Neo4j Professional yet?


If you go through the course Introduction to Neo4j 4.0, you’ll be prepared to take the free certification exam.

When you pass the exam and become a Neo4j Certified Professional, you gain exclusive access to advanced training half-day courses that have not yet made it into our online catalog at GraphAcademy. This year we are offering eight different mini-courses that will be offered virtually and will be recorded for later viewing.

So that’s a brief overview of what we have for our three new courses on GraphAcademy. We hope you get something out of these courses and they help you to learn more about Neo4j.
