The course
Why Art2link ESB
Point-to-point pain, the publish-select-deliver exchange, the five refusals of the Art2link Manifesto, and where the platform fits.
MODULE 2 · ~5 MINThe building blocks
Applications, ports, message types, pipelines, maps, promotions, and subscriptions. The whole journey of one message.
MODULE 3 · ~4 MINConnecting systems
Listeners and Callers, the adapter catalog from API to SAP, the Scheduler, and Authentications.
MODULE 4 · ~4 MINDoing it right
Normalize onto the bus, map and validate at the edges, fail loud, design for replay.
MODULE 5 · ~3 MINThe AI assistant
Pre-trained on EDI, HIPAA, HL7, and FHIR; runs entirely in your own tenant and never sees your transactions, your tracking data, or the internet; its only input is what you paste into the chat; no base cost, consumption only.
MODULE 6 · ~3 MINTracking
The historical, searchable record of every run: per-port tracking levels, the status boxes, and the one Tracking ID that stitches every step of a run into a single end-to-end view.

Questions you might have
Is it really free?
Yes, while the launch window lasts. No charge, no trial, no credit card. When the window closes, the exam moves to a paid model, and every certificate earned during the free window stays valid. If you are going to do it, now is the cheap moment.
What if I fail?
Retake it as many times as you like. Each attempt draws a fresh set of questions, and every question explains its answer, so a retake is also a review.
Do I need Art2link ESB experience?
No. The course assumes general IT literacy, nothing more. Developers will recognize the concepts fastest, but the material is written for anyone in integration work.
How is the credential verified?
Every certificate carries a unique ID and a public page at /certification/verify/{id} showing the holder, the certification, and the issue date.
