Learning Paths: Build skills step by step
New learning paths bring related topics together so you can build a solid understanding of key CDF concepts and workflows, progressing from fundamentals to practical implementation.
Cognite Flows Foundation Certificate:
We’ve recently introduced the Cognite Flows Foundation Certificate learning journey, designed for developers and technical builders working with industrial applications and Cognite Flows.
The learning path provides a strong foundation in the Cognite Flows ecosystem, including core concepts, a human-centered approach to application building, engineering architecture, submission processes, and security guidelines — everything needed before getting started with deployment and development in Flows.
Who it’s for: Developers, consultants, and solution architects
Value: Build foundational knowledge for industrial application development and Builder Certification preparation
Duration: 120 minutes
By completing the learning journey, you will earn the Cognite Flows Foundation community badge and certificate - the official prerequisites for accessing Part 2: Cognite Flows for Builders, which is coming soon.
Courses: Focused learning on key CDF capabilities
New courses dive deeper into specific CDF features and workflows, helping you strengthen your technical understanding and apply them effectively.
Diagram Parsing for Data Modeling
Learn how static engineering diagrams such as P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and electrical schematics can be transformed into structured, connected, and contextualized data within CDF. The course focuses on extracting engineering elements from diagrams and mapping them into data models to improve operational visibility and contextualization across industrial use cases in oil & gas and manufacturing.
Who it’s for: Data engineers and users with basic understanding of industrial diagrams and processes
Value: Understand how engineering diagrams become searchable, connected operational data
Duration: 40 minutes
Cognite Toolkit
This course focuses on configuring, deploying, and managing CDF projects using YAML-based configurations and DevOps workflows. Participants will learn how to manage transformations, extraction pipelines, RAW tables, groups, and data models across development, staging, and production environments while gaining a practical understanding of Toolkit modules and deployment workflows.
Who it’s for: Data engineers and users with coding experience and foundational CDF knowledge
Value: Simplify and standardize deployment workflows in CDF projects
Duration: 40 minutes
Deployment Packs: Ready-to-Use Configurations for CDF
We’ve added a new set of deployment packs designed to simplify and standardize CDF setup. These packs provide pre-configured modules, data models, and environments that help you deploy solutions faster and more consistently across projects.
Oil and Gas Data Model — CFIHOS & ISO14224 Extension
A tag-centric model that combines data from systems such as AVEVA, SAP, OPC UA, and PI into a simplified and queryable structure. Built on CFIHOS 2.0 and ISO14224 standards, the model is optimized for easier querying, dashboards, AI tools, and search experiences through a denormalized approach to industrial data.
Configuring the Infield QS Deployment Pack with the Toolkit
This deployment pack simplifies setup of the InField application in CDF by providing predefined environments, permissions, data models, and Toolkit deployment workflows aligned with InField 2.0 best practices. Once deployed, users can access contextualized operational data including assets, activities, notifications, and maintenance information directly within InField.
Quickstart Deployment Pack
A bundled deployment package that includes Entity Matching, File Annotation, the Quickstart Enterprise Data Model, foundational components, and synthetic data for end-to-end testing. It is designed to help teams quickly deploy a complete working environment with all required capabilities included out of the box.
Coming This Quarter
Hands on part for builder Certification
Take the next step in your Cognite Flows learning journey by applying your knowledge in a hands-on certification experience. This practical component will allow learners to build a live simulation application based on a real-world industrial use case, demonstrating their ability to design and implement operational applications using Cognite Flows.
What you'll earn
- Cognite Flows Builder Certificate
- Builder Community Badge
Status: Enrollment opening soon
This hands-on certification experience is designed for learners who have completed the foundational Builder learning path and are ready to validate their skills through practical application.
