Why study this course

Upskill your knowledge of software development, delivery, and operations with our DevOps Foundation® course and its associated certification from PeopleCert. Be empowered with a comprehensive understanding of DevOps culture, processes, and cutting-edge technologies, including the latest concepts of AIOps, DevSecOps, Value Stream Management, Platform Engineering, and Generative AI. Use this course to gain skills and knowledge to streamline workflows, enhance security, and transform innovation for your organisation. This course offers theoretical insights and practical use cases to transform your career and elevate your organisation's performance.

As organisations face new entrants in their respective markets, they must stay competitive and release new and updated products regularly rather than once or twice a year. The purpose of this course and certification is to impart, test, and validate knowledge of DevOps basic vocabulary, principles and practices. It is intended to provide individuals with an understanding of basic DevOps concepts and how DevOps may be used to improve communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and IT operations professionals.

This course includes the latest thinking, principles, and practices from the DevOps community including real-world case studies from high performing organisations that engage and inspire learners, leveraging multimedia and interactive exercises that bring the learning experience to life, including the Three Ways as highlighted in the Phoenix Project by Gene Kim and the latest from the State of DevOps and DevOps Institute Upskilling reports. Unique and exciting exercises will be used to apply the concepts covered in the course and sample documents, templates, tools, and techniques will be provided to use after the course.

This course is designed for a broad audience, enabling those on the business side to understand microservices and containers. Those on the technical side will gain an understanding of the business value of DevOps to reduce costs (15-25% overall IT cost reduction) with increased quality (50-70% reduction in change failure rate) and agility (up to 90% reduction in provision and deployment time) to support business objectives in support of digital transformation initiatives.

After this course, you'll be well-positioned to successfully complete the DevOps Foundation certification exam.
