Learn fast and build better with the Contentful Learning Center
Did you hear the big news? Earlier this month, Contentful leaders and experts came together to unveil our latest and greatest product updates. The upshot is that the three pillars of Contentful Platform, Contentful Studio, and Contentful Ecosystem promise to revolutionize how teams connect content, workflows and tools — and drive digital innovation at scale.
And as Contentful continues to evolve, so too does the Learning Center. We recognize the importance of continued training and education so that our users can make the most out of the innovations we’ve launched this season. We’re affirming one of our core company values, which is to start with the customer and work backwards.
To that end, we’re thrilled to introduce a refreshed and updated Learning Center, packed with new features that'll empower you to elevate your skills and knowledge. We’re rolling out an enhanced user experience and navigation, core training is now free for all users, and there’s also an improved certification program. Let’s dive into the details together.
Enhanced user experience and navigation
As a first step, we understand that navigating a learning platform is essential to make your education track as smooth as possible. Is your learning goal aimed at onboarding? Or is it professional certification? What are the needs of individuals in your team? We've made a series of user experience enhancements to specifically address questions like these.
Clearer guidance for onboarding or certification
Whether you've arrived at the Learning Center to get up to speed with Contentful, or aiming to earn a Contentful Certification to showcase your skills, our redesigned Learning Center now features two distinct calls to action on the landing page to help you start your learning journey and track your progress more efficiently. Choose between “Contentful Basics” or “Certification” and away you go.
Catering to diverse needs
In the dynamic landscape of digital teams — whether you're a developer, marketer, designer, or content editor — we've curated learning courses and resources tailored to your unique challenges and objectives. We are dedicated to continually expanding our offerings, ensuring that digital teams from all these diverse personas find the resources they've come to expect.
Core training now free for everyone
We’re making our learning services more widely available and accessible. At Contentful, we’re on a mission to empower digital teams to unlock the full potential of their content.
Equipping our customers with the skills they need to achieve their business goals is our top priority, and we’re excited to introduce Contentful Basics, a series of free live webinar-style classes focusing on foundational learning.
The initial releases in our Contentful Basics series include "Intro to Contentful Studios" and "Intro to Modeling." We’ll continue to offer a broader range of courses free of charge, with more sessions than ever before.
Our seasoned instructors are experts in their fields, ready to share their insights and expertise with you. Be sure to check our Live Training schedule regularly for newly added classes in your time zone. Save your spot or join a waiting list for each course.
Improved certification program

Achieving certification not only validates your Contentful skills but also allows you to share your accomplishment with the broader community.

We understand that becoming a Contentful expert is a significant milestone, so we've enhanced the certification program to help you prove your skills to the world.
