Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without CodeQL, 84% of code vulnerabilities go unnoticed, generating breaches that cost 4,5M€ on average per incident (IBM 2023).

  • Teams lose 35% of their time on inefficient manual reviews, delaying deployments 2x longer.

  • Companies without automated SAST suffer 50% more security incidents, risking GDPR fines in the millions euros.

  • Careers stagnate: 70% of DevSecOps positions require tools like CodeQL in 2024.

  • Every quarter without the skills widens the gap with competitors who deliver secure software quickly.

CodeQL training: access and practical arrangements

The Training CodeQL - Detecting Vulnerabilities in Enterprise Source Code program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training CodeQL - Detecting Vulnerabilities in Enterprise Source Code program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training CodeQL - Detecting Vulnerabilities in Enterprise Source Code 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.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

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.

Day 3: CodeQL Integration: CI/CD with GitHub Actions (Automated Code Scanning). Day 4: CodeQL Optimization: Enterprise Cases and Customization (Actionable Deliverable Reports). The CodeQL program runs over 4 days, delivered on site.
How is CodeQL training assessed?+
Assessment relies on MCQ to validate CodeQL query skills at the end of the training, continuous evaluation through practical dataflow exercises and defense of the red thread project: custom query. 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 $4,620 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $7,865 for the whole group, up to 8 people. AWS, Azure or OVH infrastructure is extra, from $158 per day.
