Apache Kafka powers real-time data pipelines at scale across banking, telecom, and e-commerce. This advanced course teaches engineers to design, configure, and operate Kafka clusters for reliable, high-throughput event streaming.
Apache Kafka has become the backbone of real-time data integration for organizations that need to move events reliably at scale — from transaction logs to IoT telemetry. This advanced course teaches data engineers to design topics, partitions, and producer-consumer architectures that scale without losing data.
Participants configure Kafka clusters, build producer and consumer applications, and apply operational practices for monitoring, scaling, and securing streaming pipelines in production environments.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Kafka Architecture and the Distributed Log
Day 2: Topic Design, Partitioning and Replication
Day 3: Producer Application Design
Day 4: Consumer Applications and Group Coordination
Day 5: Kafka Connect for Source and Sink Integration
Day 6: Stream Processing with Kafka Streams
Day 7: Advanced Streams, Exactly-Once and ksqlDB
Day 8: Cluster Operations, Monitoring and Performance
Day 9: Kafka Security and Data Protection
Day 10: Multi-Cluster, Disaster Recovery and Applied Design
Kafka Training targets engineers and operators who build or run event streaming platforms and need depth in broker configuration, stream processing and cluster reliability rather than an introduction to messaging.
Engineers who complete all ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, validating their ability to design Kafka topic and partition schemes, build producer, consumer, Connect and Streams applications, and monitor, secure and troubleshoot production Kafka clusters.

Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the Kafka Training programme, you'll be able to explain kafka's architecture including brokers, topics, and partitions, design producer and consumer applications for event streaming, configure topic partitioning and replication for scalability and durability, and apply kafka connect for integrating external data sources and sinks. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
Kafka Training targets engineers and operators who build or run event streaming platforms and need depth in broker configuration, stream processing and cluster reliability rather than an introduction to messaging. Typical delegates include Data engineers building real-time ingestion and ETL pipelines, Backend and platform engineers writing Kafka producer and consumer applications, Streaming architects designing event-driven systems across banking, telecom or e-commerce, DevOps and SRE engineers responsible for Kafka cluster uptime, scaling and monitoring, Integration engineers connecting databases, object stores and SaaS systems via Kafka Connect, Big data developers migrating batch workloads to Kafka Streams, and Security engineers implementing authentication, authorisation and encryption on messaging infrastructure.
Kafka Training typically runs as 10 Days. It's available as classroom, live virtual, and in-house training — every course can also be delivered on-site for your team on dates that suit you.
Kafka Training is delivered plus a live interactive virtual classroom you can join from anywhere. Check the schedule panel above for exact upcoming dates and fees in each location.
Kafka Training runs on a rolling cohort basis, so a new intake is always coming up. Pick your preferred format and location in the schedule panel above, then click "Register for the Course" to reserve your seat — confirmation follows once payment or a signed purchase order is received.
Yes — delegates who meet the attendance requirement receive a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion for Kafka Training from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, issued in the name you register with, so double-check the spelling at checkout.
Kafka Training is pitched at advanced professionals. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit for your current role or background, message our training advisors before you register and they'll help you confirm.
