The Gaia-X Academy is organising courses in streams, set of trainings, tutorials, changelogs, or use cases. Each stream will target a specific audience, mixing courses in order to bring all the required knowledge, such as Gaia-X Functional Expert or Gaia-X Technical Advisor. Learners will be entitled to validate a stream by reaching the required score at the Certificate Stream Course. All Gaia-X Certificates are recognised as proofs of knowledge and can also be added to a LinkedIn profile and shared. The access to the Gaia-X Discovery stream is open to everyone, spreading the word about Gaia-X, its goals and achievements. The access to the streams, and therefore all the Gaia-X Academy content, is part of our members’ benefits. But non-members can also get a temporary access to a stream.
