The Semsphere Certification Program targets IT professionals and those seeking globally recognizable expertise and credentials in the field of semantic technologies. The three levels of increasing complexity guarantee tailored progress through the comprehensive curriculum. Semsphere certification courses last up to five (5) weekdays, offering the possibility to take the certification examination after completing the course modules.

Semantic Technology Specialist. This is the basic certification which covers the fundamentals of semantic technologies and serves as the foundation for the successive certification levels. It affords trainees with an overview of the Semantic Web, and proceeds with a concentrated focus on ontologies and the development of semantic applications.

Semantic Technology Professional. This is the intermediate certification which confirms the trainees’ progressive expertise in semantic technologies and their advanced utility and application. It affords trainees with an in-depth concentration on knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology lifecycles and the fundamentals behind Linked Data and mature semantic applications.

Academy Trainer. This is the advanced certification which confirms the trainees’ superior knowledge in all areas covered in the lower certification levels, affording the qualification required to successfully train the various levels of the certification and those specialties for which the trainer holds a valid Semsphere credential.

The Semsphere certifications are endorsed by STI International, a global networking organization leading research, education, innovation and commercialization activities on semantic technologies facilitating their deployment within industry and society at large.
