What makes BPM Company Academy different from Pega Academy?

BPM Company Academy - Training room

Are you considering following a Pega training and are you hesitating between the Pega Academy (from Pegasystems itself) and another trainer? Then you are not alone. More and more IT professionals and developers are looking for a Pega training that not only leads to a Pega certification but also helps them to apply Pega directly and effectively in practice. In this blog, we compare the Pega Academy with the BPM Company Academy and show which approach best suits professionals who want to be quickly deployable within Pega projects.

 

Why follow a Pega training?

The Pega platform is a leading low-code platform for Business Process Management (BPM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Many organizations use Pega to automate workflows, improve customer processes, and accelerate digital transformation. With a Pega training you will develop both technical and functional skills to model, optimize and automate business processes. Obtaining a Pega certificate (such as Pega Business Architect, System Architect or Senior System Architect) also increases your chances of getting a new position, promotion or salary increase.

In short: a Pega training is a valuable investment in your professional growth and in the agility of your organization.

 

Pega Academy versus BPM Company Academy

If you want to follow a Pega training, you will soon end up with two options: the official Pega Academy from Pegasystems or a practice-oriented trainer such as BPM Company Academy

What is the Pega Academy?

The Pega Academy is the global learning environment of Pegasystems, the developer of the Pega platform. Here you will find standardized online and classroom training that prepares for official Pega certifications such as CSA, CSSA and CBA. The focus is on fundamental knowledge of the platform and Pega’s broad capabilities.

Wat is the BPM Company Academy?

BPM Company Academy is a Pega partner and specialized training provider in the Netherlands and the Benelux. In addition to the official Pega learning material, BPM Company Academy focuses explicitly on the practical application of Pega within real customer projects. The training courses are tailored to local organizations, teams and working methods and contain a lot of customization and own case studies.

 

Why Choose BPM Company Academy?

1. Practice-oriented Pega training by active experts

The Pega training courses of BPM Company Academy are based on official Pega Academy material but are provided by consultants who work on complex Pega implementations on a daily basis. This will not only teach you what Pega is, but especially how to use the platform effectively in practice.

2. Certified Pega trainers with proven results

All trainers are Pega certified and have experience at leading organizations. The training courses are rated with an average of 8.8, which emphasizes the quality and relevance of the training.

3. Effective Pega exam preparation

BPM Company Academy offers a unique and proven approach to Pega exam preparation. In addition to theory, you get:

  • practical examples,
  • practice exams,
  • and targeted guidance towards the exam.

Thanks to this approach, participants obtain their Pega certification faster and with more certainty, with a success rate of more than 95%.

4. Blended learning for faster results

The blended learning approach combines self-study with targeted classroom sessions and practical exercises. This ensures:

  • more efficient use of classroom time,
  • lower training costs,
  • better knowledge retention,
  • and faster deployment in Pega projects.

5. Practice-oriented deepening for Pega professionals

BPM Company Academy translates Pega best practices to the participant’s own work situation. This leads to directly applicable insights, a better understanding of Pega fundamentals and fewer errors in projects. Intensive interaction between participants (Business Architects and System Architects) also creates a shared knowledge base.

 

BPM Company Academy or Pega Academy: The Key Differences

The core difference between Pega Academy and BPM Company Academy is in the application of knowledge.
Where Pega Academy offers the official blueprint of the Pega platform, BPM Company Academy translates this blueprint into practical skills that are directly applicable in organizations.
BPM Company Academy focuses on professionals who:

  • want to be productive faster in Pega projects,
  • want to combine practical experience with certification,
  • and personal guidance are important.

 

Which Pega training is right for you?

Do you want theoretical basic knowledge and independent online learning? Then the Pega Academy is a good start. However, do you want a practice-oriented Pega training, with personal guidance and a strong focus on rapid deployment and certification? Then BPM Company Academy is the logical choice.
