03 / How it works
We curate, you learn
Great courses already exist. We choose them, put them in order and add what only delivery work teaches.
We pick the courses
From Databricks, Hugging Face, Microsoft, DeepLearning.AI, LangChain, Anthropic, fast.ai, Google and others. Each one is checked and dated.
We add the order
Each path says what to do first, what to skip when you know it already, and why.
You build something
Every path has a hands-on project brief, with what good looks like, from our own delivery standards.
You learn at your pace
Everything links out to the provider. There is no login at NexOps and nothing to pay us.
Workshops with our engineers
When your team wants live sessions, we run workshops on-site or online.

Questions about the academy
Answers based on how we actually deliver.
Are the courses made by NexOps?
No. The courses belong to their providers, such as Databricks, Hugging Face and DeepLearning.AI. NexOps chooses them, orders them into paths and adds hands-on projects, checklists and articles from our own work.
Do I need an account?
Reading the paths and courses never needs one. Create a free account if you want to mark steps as done, keep notes and see your progress. You can export or delete all of it at any time.
What does it cost?
Reading the academy is free. Each course shows its own cost label from the provider: free, free with an account, paid or not stated. Certification exams are paid by the exam provider.
Do I need a Databricks account?
Some Databricks Academy courses ask for a Databricks Academy account, and the course card says so. Databricks Free Edition gives you a free workspace to practise on.
How current is the list?
Every course carries the date we last checked it. Providers change their courses, so check the provider page for the latest details.
Can my team learn together?
Yes. We run workshops for company teams and for students, on-site or online, tailored to your stack and goals.
What do you do with my e-mail address?
We use it only to tell you about new paths, after you confirm. You can unsubscribe in one click, or ask us to delete it at info@nexops.nl.
