Headless ecommerce delivered by distance learning
Emerge ahead after COVID-19 by becoming a headless ecommerce master via our new professional learning and development programme. We’ve partnered with commercetools, the industry-leading commerce platform, to deliver an 8-module headless ecommerce programme lasting four months and culminating with an interactive masterclass in London, in October.
Designed for technology, ecommerce, digital and marketing professionals, the professional development programme is divided into eight core modules that take you through the stages of digital transformation, developing or updating your digital strategy, an introduction to headless ecommerce and how to implement your new ecommerce infrastructure using microservices and APIs.
Each module focuses on a core downloadable resource and at the end of each month, we are hosting a webinar when you can discuss the programme content with our experts and guest speakers. Selected modules will feature additional technical supplements to support your learning from commercetools and partners, enterprise architecture experts Gradient Edge.

We are also hosting three webinars during the programme. Each webinar provides the opportunity to learn directly from commercetools and Profound experts and talk through key learning points and relevant case studies. Selected webinars will also include speakers from our partners. The first webinar will be hosted at 11:00 on Wednesday 10 June, lasting around 45 minutes. There will be time afterwards for further discussion.
After the eighth module, the programme culminates in a masterclass event in London in October. This provides you with a month of preparation to finalise your headless ecommerce strategy. There will be a focus on different audiences with both joint and parallel technical and marketing workshops. Our team, alongside commercetools, will be on hand to facilitate the workshops. There will be plenty of time for breakouts, one-to-one sessions and discussion. Naturally, the latest social distancing measures will be observed at the event to ensure your safety.
