Who should attend?
- This Solr course is designed for technical attendees experienced with Solr and looking to extending their Solr knowledge. A person should be able to index data to Solr, run queries, work with Solr analysis, use faceting, grouping, know basic Solr configuration and tuning principles. Experience with Linux systems is not a must, but a basic familiarity with running shell commands (e.g., using curl command) will make the course more enjoyable. If you do not have prior Solr experience and you would like to take advantage of Solr advance training, please consider attending Core Solr and Intermediate Solr classes.
- Prerequisites: Sematext’s Intermediate Solr or pre-existing knowledge of Solr concepts covered in Intermediate and Core Solr.
What attendees say
For a non-native English speaker student, this course was a crystal clear explanation of Solr and all the sweetest juice you can extract from your text searches. Even if you think you know enough Solr, I wholeheartedly recommend this course for you.

If you are serious about getting Solr right, this is the course for you. Simply put, it's the best Solr instruction for those who want to master this domain and use Solr in the real world
Thank you for a very informative training, such a wealth of information that I truly enjoyed learning about.
Sr. System Engineer - Xactly Corporation
The Intermediate and Advanced Solr Training went very well. A few of the things I liked:
— The intermediate and advanced command files included in the training material were very helpful. I’m still referring to them after taking the class as I look more in-depth into the various features.
— The provided example data and scripts to load the data into Solr are another big time saver. Also, this gives me something to refer to as I review the training notes.
— The hands-on exercise/labs
The training covered several Solr features e.g., streaming aggregation, JSON API, etc. that we haven’t really used yet, but may be very useful to us in the future.
Software Engineer - Large-Scale NGO in the Educational Sector
The CORE training made the complex concepts around solr easy to understand. Although it was a group setting, I still feel like I received individual attention. All of my questions were answered well, and at the close of each unit, I felt confident in my understanding.
