Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without CodeQL mastery, 85% of software vulnerabilities go unnoticed according to OWASP, exposing companies to breaches that cost an average of 4 million euros per incident.

  • Teams lose 30% more time on manual debugging and emergency fixes, while 70% of DevSecOps recruiters reject candidates without static analysis skills.

  • Every quarter without training widens the competitive gap, multiplying GDPR regulatory risks and revenue losses from downtime.

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training CodeQL - Detecting Source Code Vulnerabilities program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your CodeQL training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

FAQ

CodeQL: frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in CodeQL training?+
Hands-on work runs on gitHub CLI, VS Code, code Databases, custom Patterns and gitHub Actions. Those tools come from the CodeQL program itself, delivered on site over 2 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after CodeQL training?+
They can master the basics of CodeQL for source code analysis in the enterprise, develop simple QL queries to detect common vulnerabilities and configure the CodeQL environment with GitHub and VS Code. Those are the stated objectives of the CodeQL program at Beginner level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the CodeQL program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: CodeQL Fundamentals: Installation and First Queries (GitHub CLI, VS Code, Code Databases). Day 2: CodeQL Practice: Advanced Queries and CI/CD Integration (Custom Patterns, GitHub Actions). The CodeQL program runs over 2 days, delivered on site.
How is CodeQL training assessed?+
Assessment relies on multiple-choice quiz to validate learning outcomes at the end of the training, continuous assessment through practical exercises and presentation of the capstone project to the trainer. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the CodeQL program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does CodeQL training cost per participant?+
CodeQL training costs $2,310 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $4,190 for the whole group, up to 8 people. AWS, Azure or OVH infrastructure is extra, from $158 per day. The detailed quote, sent within one business day, adjusts the amount to the format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team.
How long does CodeQL training take?+
2 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for CodeQL training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before CodeQL training?+
Basic programming skills (Java, Python or JavaScript) and Git fundamentals.
Is a certificate issued after CodeQL training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
Does Learni provide the equipment for CodeQL training?+
No. A computer and a stable internet connection are required for each participant. Learni provides the learning platform, the trainer and all course materials.
