AEM Course Overview

Adobe Experience Manager is a Java-based enterprise content management and digital experience platform. It powers content operations at organizations that publish across many brands, regions, and languages. This course takes you from the platform fundamentals to shipping production-grade components at an enterprise level, and prepares you for Adobe's developer certifications.

 

Why learn Adobe Experience Manager in 2026?

Three things make this a well-timed skill:
  • Migration to AEM 6.5 LTS: As Adobe's release roadmap includes AEM 6.5 support (Adobe Managed Services) and on-premises core support, which is planned to end very soon, both paths are covered by AEM 6.5 LTS. Every organization still on 6.5 has to move — to Cloud Service or to LTS — and each of those moves needs developers who understand both sides.
  • Adobe remains a Leader in the category: Adobe was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms for the eighth consecutive year.
  • Salary Range: Pay is solid, and reported AEM developer pay varies a lot by source and role. Please check the Career Roadmap Section at the bottom of the page.

 

What will you learn?

  • Enable AEM performance tuning, personalization, and website deployment.
  • Manage OSGi services and bundles.
  • Handle users, groups, and permissions.
  • Perform CQ-based searches and unit testing.
  • Create content fragments, experience fragments, and reusable templates.
  • Utilize CRXDE Lite and HTML template language (HTL)
  • Labs on AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.5 LTS — the two versions Adobe supports today
  • Edge Delivery Services project you can build and keep, with no license required
  • Universal Editor coverage — Adobe's default editor for new projects
  • Migration module: moving AEM 6.5 workloads to Cloud Service or 6.5 LTS
  • Local author–publish–Dispatcher environment, set up with your trainer.

New to web tech? Start with authoring and front-end basics.
Who is this for
FreshersStudentsCareer SwitchersContent AuthorsFront-End BeginnersWeb & Marketing Enthusiasts
Prerequisites - What You Need
  • Basic computer literacy and comfort using a web browser — AEM authoring is entirely browser-based
  • Willingness to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript — taught from scratch
  • Interest in websites, content management and digital experiences

  • Core Java is the single biggest advantage — AEM's back end runs on Apache Sling and OSGi, and AEM supports Java 11, 17 and 21
  • HTML, CSS and JavaScript help you build components with HTL (formerly Sightly), which replaced JSP for AEM component markup
  • Maven 3.3.9+, Git and Node.js/npm are used by the AEM Project Archetype — useful to know, and covered in the course
  • Sling Models, the JCR/Oak repository, Dispatcher caching and Cloud Manager CI/CD are all taught in-course — no prior AEM background needed

Your Course Journey - From Enrolment to Career Readiness

What to Expect from Your AEM Training

Six guided stages take you from your first AEM component build to your first offer - each one backed by a specific MindMajix support service.

Stage 1

Enrol & Get Set Up

Pick live online or self-paced across 18 hours of AEM training, activate your one-year LMS access, and get a working practice environment before the first session. Your trainer guides you through a local AEM author, publish, and Dispatcher setup, plus a free Edge Delivery Services project, since Adobe provides EDS development access at no cost and it runs without an author or publish instance.

  • Live or self-paced
  • 1-year LMS access
  • Agile & Scrum add-on
  • Guided lab setup
Stage 2

Learn & Build Real Skills

Master AEM on the current platform, covering both AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.5 LTS. Build components with HTL and Sling Models, wire OSGi services and servlets, configure Core Components and editable templates, query the JCR, and tune Dispatcher caching, applying every concept in hands-on labs and real-time projects with one trainer throughout.

  • Instructor-led + labs
  • 1-on-1 doubt clearing
  • Recording access
  • Real-time projects
Stage 3

Earn Your Certificate

  • AD0-E128 aligned
  • Exam guidance
Stage 4

Polish Your Profile

Turn skills into a profile recruiters notice.

  • Resume building
  • LinkedIn optimisation
  • Resume templates
  • Portfolio packaging
Stage 5

  • Personalised feedback
  • AEM mock interviews
  • SME panel
Stage 6

Land Your Role

Apply with confidence using job-search assistance and referrals to hiring partners across India and the USA. With AEM 6.5 support for Adobe Managed Services ending 31 August 2026 and on-premise core support planned to end around February 2027, migration work to AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.5 LTS keeps hiring steady. (Career support provided; placement not guaranteed.)

AEM Training FAQs

Can a fresher or non-IT person learn AEM?

Yes. Day-to-day AEM authoring — creating pages, components and content fragments — happens in the browser and needs no code. For a non-developer path, Adobe's current entry credential is AEM Business Practitioner Professional

Do I need Java before starting AEM?

Not to begin. Authoring and front-end work — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and HTL — need no Java. Java matters for back-end work: Sling Models, OSGi services and servlets, all taught in-course.

What is the minimum qualification to enrol?

Any graduate from any discipline can enrol. There is no mandatory IT or computer-science degree to start with AEM authoring and front-end work — basic computer literacy and consistent hands-on practice on a local AEM SDK matter most.

Which AEM certification should a fresher target first?

Adobe Certified Professional — AEM Sites Developer. It is Adobe's foundation-level developer credential, aimed at candidates with 0–12 months of experience, delivered online and proctored, and valid for 2 years.

I know Core Java — will my skills transfer to AEM?

Directly. You write Sling Models, OSGi services and servlets in Java, and component markup in HTL. Maven, Git, REST and JSON map straight across to AEM project work, and AEM supports Java 11, 17 and 21.

Which AEM certification should a working professional target?

Take AEM Sites Developer Professional first, then AEM Sites Developer Expert. Both are online-proctored and valid for two years. You do not need the Professional before attempting the Expert.

Should I learn AEM 6.5 or AEM as a Cloud Service?

Both, and this course covers both. Adobe Managed Services support for AEM 6.5 and on-premises core support will end very soon; AEM 6.5 LTS continues that line. The migration work this creates is one of the largest sources of live AEM projects right now, so employers actively want developers who know both sides.

Is AEM a good skill for working Java and web developers?

Yes. AEM is a Java-based enterprise CMS built on Apache Sling and OSGi, so your existing Java, Maven, Git, and REST knowledge transfers directly. Adobe was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms for the eighth consecutive year, and demand remains steady across banking, healthcare, retail and media in India and the USA.

Do you have any limits on the cohort size of the training?

No. However, we also offer one-on-one training.

Can you share the criteria used to allocate trainers for the training?

All MindMajix trainers have over 10 years of industry experience. Our AEM trainer has over 8 years of experience in providing content management solutions to diverse verticals.

How long does it take to learn AEM?

Expect three to six months to reach junior-developer level  with consistent practice, and twelve to eighteen months before you are genuinely productive on a live project. 

 

Is AEM still worth learning in 2026?

Yes. AEM is an enterprise platform, so the job market is smaller than for general web development, but the roles pay more and have lower turnover. With the 6.5 support timeline closing, organizations are moving to Cloud Service or 6.5 LTS, and that work requires developers fluent in both.

What is the difference between an AEM developer and an AEM author?

An AEM author works entirely in the browser — creating pages, assembling components, managing assets and running workflows. No code. 

An AEM developer writes the components, templates, Sling Models, and OSGi services that the authors then use in Java and HTL. This course targets the developer track but starts from authoring, because you cannot build good components without understanding how authors use them.

What are Edge Delivery Services and do I need a license to practice?

Edge Delivery Services is Adobe's content delivery framework built for speed — content authored in Google Drive, SharePoint, or the Universal Editor; code in GitHub; no build pipeline. You do not need an AEM license to practice: per Adobe's own FAQ.

Will I get support to pass the AEM Certification exams?

Yes. The curriculum maps to the AEM Sites Developer Professional and Expert exam objectives, and you get practice questions plus full-length mock assessments. We also tell you which Adobe credentials are being retired so you do not waste an exam fee.

How much importance do you place on hands-on training in this course?

We emphasize hands-on training by dedicating most of the training hours to practical exercises, including labs, real-time projects, and industry examples.

How do you deliver hands-on projects in the training?

You build 2 projects — a Core Components site, a Dispatcher configuration, a Cloud Manager pipeline, an Edge Delivery Services site, and a 6.5 migration assessment. Your trainer reviews your code one-on-one, the way a team lead would.

Do I need to buy an AEM license to practice?

No. For the Java stack, you develop using the AEM SDK Quickstart locally, which is how professional AEM developers work day to day. For Edge Delivery Services, you need only a GitHub account and a Google Drive or SharePoint folder. Your trainer walks you through both setups in the first session.

Can I switch to AEM from another CMS like WordPress or Drupal?

Yes, and your CMS instincts transfer — content modeling, templating, caching and publishing workflows all have direct analogues. The adjustment is the Java layer: AEM components are Java and HTL, not PHP and Twig, and the JCR is a hierarchical content repository rather than a relational database. Developers coming from Drupal usually adapt fastest, because Drupal's entity and rendering model is conceptually closest.

Why should I learn AEM with MindMajix?

  • Our trainers, with vast industry expertise, deliver high-quality training.
  • We implement a hands-on approach to help you tackle real-time challenges effortlessly.
  • Many of our learners have secured jobs in leading companies with attractive salaries.
  • Our comprehensive course curriculum covers both foundational and advanced AEM concepts.

How long can I access the pre-recorded videos in the LMS?

You can maintain access to the pre-recorded videos by renewing your subscription annually at a discounted rate.
