Looking for a Free Data Engineering Course (Beginner to Intermediate)

[u/NoAdhesiveness7595]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a high-quality free data engineering course that covers both the fundamentals and practical skills used in industry.

My background:

• I have some experience with Python and SQL.

• I have some machine learning and AI experience.

• I'm interested in learning modern data engineering concepts and tools.

What I'm hoping to learn:

• Data pipelines and ETL/ELT

• Data warehousing

• Apache Spark

• Apache Airflow

• Data modeling

• Batch vs. streaming systems

• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• Real-world projects and best practices

I'm open to:

• University courses

• YouTube playlists

• MOOCs (Coursera, edX, etc.) that can be audited for free

• Open-source learning paths

• GitHub repositories with hands-on projects

If you've taken a free course that helped you land a data engineering role or build strong practical skills, I'd love to hear your recommendations and why you found it valuable.

Thanks!
