Engineer large-scale data pipelines that process petabytes. Master the modern Big Data stack: Apache Spark, Kafka, Hive, Airflow, Delta Lake, and cloud-native tools on AWS EMR & Databricks — the skills that command ₹12–30 LPA salaries.
Linkskill's Big Data Engineer program prepares you to design, build, and optimise large-scale data pipelines that power analytics, machine learning, and real-time applications. You'll go from foundational distributed computing concepts to building production-grade pipelines on cloud platforms.
The curriculum mirrors real-world data engineering workflows — ingestion, processing, storage, orchestration, and delivery. You'll work with Apache Spark on Databricks, stream data with Kafka, build data warehouses on Snowflake, and orchestrate workflows with Apache Airflow — all on AWS cloud infrastructure.
8 Modules · 40 Sessions
Issued upon completing 80% attendance and submitting all 3 pipeline projects. Certificate validates skills in Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Delta Lake, dbt, Snowflake, and AWS data services. Also prepares you for Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate.
Before joining any Big Data Engineer course in Salem or online, ask these 12 questions. Here are Linkskill Academy's straight answers.
This is a data engineering course: Python, Apache Spark/PySpark, Kafka, Hive, Snowflake and dbt, Airflow, and cloud data engineering on AWS, plus data quality and governance. SQL is used throughout. For Excel and Power BI, see the Data Analyst course. Full module list: 1. Big Data Foundations & Python for Engineering (4 sessions); 2. Apache Spark & PySpark (8 sessions); 3. Data Ingestion & Apache Kafka (5 sessions); 4. Data Warehousing: Hive, Snowflake & dbt (5 sessions); 5. Pipeline Orchestration with Airflow (5 sessions); 6. Cloud Data Engineering on AWS (5 sessions); 7. Data Quality, Governance & MLOps (5 sessions); 8. Capstone Data Pipeline Projects (3 sessions). We will send this module list on WhatsApp or email on request.
Every module includes hands-on labs, and the course ends with capstone data-pipeline projects: ingestion → processing → warehouse → orchestration on real datasets. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will share sample capstone projects from past learners.
Programmes are led by Sreemathy Sampath, Founder & Managing Director of Linkskill Academy, who has 10+ years of training experience in data and analytics, together with practising industry mentors for specialist modules. Ask us on WhatsApp for the name, LinkedIn profile and current role of the trainer assigned to your batch, and we will send it in writing before you pay.
Yes. You can attend a free demo / orientation session before you pay anything. Book a slot on WhatsApp (+91 90874 96799). We also run regular free and low-cost workshops (for example our free SQL one-day workshop), which are a good way to experience our teaching style first.
Batches are kept small so the trainer can review every learner's work. We run weekday and weekend batches, in person at our Arisipalayam, Salem centre, live online, or hybrid. Ask us for the exact seat count and timings of the next batch and we will confirm them on WhatsApp or email.
Duration: 40 live sessions of 90 min each, over about 4 Months. Fee: Full programmes at Linkskill are ₹18,000–₹35,000 depending on the course, mode and batch; we confirm the exact Big Data Engineer fee in writing. EMI/instalment options are available. Before you pay we send the full amount in writing, with GST and any third-party exam fees shown separately, so there are no hidden charges.
The certificate is issued by Linkskill Academy Pvt. Ltd. on completing the sessions and capstone projects. It is the academy's own certificate, not an AWS or Databricks certificate.
We offer placement support, not a job guarantee, and we do not advertise "100% placement". Support continues after the course until you are placed: resume and LinkedIn rebuilding, mock interviews, portfolio review and referrals to hiring companies we work with. Ask us for the list of companies that hired our recent learners and last year's placement numbers, and we will share them in writing.
Yes. On request we connect you with two or three past learners from a recent batch (with their consent) so you can ask them directly about the training, projects and placement support.
Our written policy: 100% refund if you cancel 7+ days before the batch starts; 75% refund if you cancel within the first 7 days of class and have attended no more than 2 sessions; after week 1 there is no refund, but you can transfer to a later batch free of charge. Batch transfers are unlimited and free. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.
An internship is not bundled into the course fee by default. Linkskill runs separate internship programmes (4–8 weeks, ₹2,000–₹5,000 programme fee depending on the track) where you work on live projects with mentorship and a certificate. These are learning internships, not stipend-paying jobs; a few paid opportunities may be offered to exceptional candidates. Ask us whether a current offer includes an internship.
Every live session is recorded and shared with you, so you never lose a class. If you miss several sessions, you can join the same topic in a parallel or later batch at no extra cost (free batch transfer).
