AppDynamics University training was migrated to Cisco U., Cisco’s world-class learning experience platform, on December 15, 2023.  

What does this mean for you? 

If you have a Standard AppDynamics University subscription, select self-paced training is already available in Cisco U. Free. If you have a Premium or Multi-User University subscription, self-paced and instructor-led training will be available in Cisco U. In all cases, you will need to create a Cisco U. account using your AppDynamics University account email address. 

Review the FAQs listed in the following sections to learn more about the migration and get answers to questions that you might have.  

UPDATE While the migration is now successfully completed, we recognize that you may still have questions or need assistance. We're actively updating this FAQ to ensure it continues to be a valuable resource for you. Please bear with us if you come across language that refers to the migration in future tense—it's a part of our ongoing revision process. You can also submit your questions as a comment or email us at education@appdynamics.com. We’re here to help!

Learning Records

What about my badges, in-progress learning, and exam vouchers?    

Digital badges 

More great news. If you’ve earned any AppDynamics recognition badges, they are yours to keep and share. Still have learning in progress. Complete any eligible learning plans and earn your badges before December 15, 2023. Your digital badges for completed self-paced and instructor-led training learning plans will still be found in Credly. 

 

In-progress learning 

Don’t forget to finish your in-progress learning by December 15, 2023. In a future release, Cisco U. will display your completed AppDynamics self-paced course history in your Cisco U. account. But we can only migrate self-paced courses that are marked 100% complete. 

If you want to download your in-progress learning history, follow the instructions on how to preserve your instructor-led and self-paced learning records

IMPORTANT | Be sure to create a Cisco U. Free account using your AppDynamics University account email address before December 15, 2023, so that your migration process to Cisco U. is successful.

How will Company Administrators manage learners with Cisco U. subscriptions?  

Company Administrators can use the Cisco U. Customer Admin Portal to assign learners their subscription seats. We’ll email instructions on how to access the Customer Admin Portal and manage learners after the migration is complete.  

We also suggest that Company Administrators start setting up their own accounts in Cisco U. ahead of the migration: 

 

After the migration is complete on December 15, 2023: 

  • Log in to Cisco U. and select your Profile Icon (initials) at top-right. 
  • From your Profile Icon drop-down, select Customer Admin to manage your subscriptions. 
  • Note: If you do not see Customer Admin as an option after December 15, choose Help & Support from your Profile Icon drop-down, then select Submit an issue.

How can Company Administrators locate their exam voucher codes? 

Company Administrators can see their exam voucher code information on the AppDynamics Account Management Portal. They can then redeem the codes at this site to register for a certification exam.

Hi @ShivaTejaReddy.Challa , 

Apologies for the delay in responses; the Education support team is working hard to get all customers ramped up in Cisco U. Is this in regards to the education@appdynamics.com mailer?

For your Cisco U. account set up, you must use your previous AppDynamics email address on https://id.cisco.com/signin/register , not your own company email. Please complete the rest of the registration steps and then sign in using the new account login information at https://u.cisco.com/ . You will only have access to Cisco U. Essentials learning content if you had a paid subscription. Cisco U. Free is available to all other users.

Best,

Johanna

Hello Moderator,

I have some users in my organisation who don't receive the account confirmation email after registering (also checked junk/spam), so they can't confirm the account or log in to Cisco U.. Most of them were AppD Universty members already. Is there any additional step they should follow or anything I can try for those users?

How do I set up my new Cisco U. account? 

Thank you.

Hi @ANNA LUIZA.DE LIMA ALCANTARA

Thank you for reaching out to our team and apologies for the inconveniences with the new Cisco U. account set ups.

Please discontinue sending emails to education@appdynamics.com. That queue is being retired and no longer monitored.  Please submit a ticket through the Cisco U. interface (sign-on page or under the profile icon menu)  Or use the direct URL - https://learning-support.cisco.com/jira/servicedesk/customer/portal/3

In the request, make sure to include all the email addresses of the affected accounts. The technical team can then assure that the accounts are properly registered.
