Overview

Your accelerated DevOps Fundamentals certification course provides an extensive introduction to the core Agile DevOps principles covering the essential knowledge and skill competences that have been defined by the DevOps Agile Skills Association (DASA).

You will build your DevOps vocabulary and understand the core principles and practices. With the help of key DevOps concepts and terminology, real-life case studies, examples and interactive group discussions and extensive exercises in each module you will acquire a fundamental understanding of DevOps.

Unlock the beneifts of DevOps

The data doesn’t lie. Organisations such as Netflix, Spotify and Facebook are revolutionising the IT game by successfully implementing DevOps principles. But you don’t have to be a hot web company or a monster enterprise to be a DevOps leader. Companies large and small, young and old, have magnificently made the transition and have the proof of success in their pockets.

Your DevOps Fundamentals course will help you unlock exclusive benefits, including:

  • Up to 200 times faster software deployment
  • 30 times increased deployment frequency
  • 60 times higher success rates in implementing change

Your DevOps Fundamentals course

You’ll use Official Course materials and practice tests. You’ll also use Firebrand’s unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, which will immerse you in topics like:

  • Why organisations are adopting “Need to adopt” DevOps practices from both the business and IT perspectives
  • How to answer the question ‘What is DevOps?’
  • DevOps values and principles
  • How DevOps interfaces with other frameworks such as agile, lean and ITSM service management
  • The characteristics of a DevOps culture
  • DevOps organisational considerations including DevOps roles, teams and organisational structures
  • Key DevOps practices

With us by your side, encouraging and guiding you along the way, you can enjoy two intense, focussed days of quality learning in a distraction free environment.

Seven reasons why you should sit your DevOps Fundamentals course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be DevOps Fundamentals certified in just 2 days. With us, you’ll be DevOps Fundamentals trained in record time
  2. Our DevOps Fundamentals course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass DevOps Fundamentals first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more DevOps Fundamentals. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn DevOps Fundamentals faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily

As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study DevOps Fundamentals courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Exclusive benefits from your Firebrand course include:

  • Accelerated DevOps Fundamentals training. Meaning you get trained in fewer days with more training hours per day than any other provider
  • Maximum learning in a distraction free environment
  • Dedicated, onsite support at all hours
  • Intensive group instruction from an industry expert

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
