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.
Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.
Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.
Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.
The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Methods, materials and delivery
The Training Crossplane & XRD - Kubernetes Cluster Control 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 Crossplane & XRD - Kubernetes Cluster Control 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.
* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program
Skills assessment methods
Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Crossplane & XRD - Kubernetes Cluster Control 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
Training quality, guaranteed at every step
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.
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.
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.
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
Frequently asked questions
Which tools are used in Crossplane & XRD training?+
Hands-on work runs on crossplane 1.16, providers, XRD, composition Functions, RBAC and vault. Those tools come from the Crossplane & XRD program itself, delivered on site over 5 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after Crossplane & XRD training?+
They can design Composite Resource Definitions to standardize cloud resources, implement Crossplane compositions with dependencies across AWS, Azure, and GCP providers and secure claims and RBAC access for product teams. Those are the stated objectives of the Crossplane & XRD program at Advanced level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the Crossplane & XRD program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: Architecture and installation (Crossplane 1.16, providers). Day 2: Designing composite resources (XRD, Composition Functions). Day 3: Security and governance (RBAC, Vault, OPA). Day 4: CI/CD integration and observability (Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana). Day 5: Industrialization and scaling (catalog, tests, migration). The Crossplane & XRD program runs over 5 days, delivered on site.
How is Crossplane & XRD training assessed?+
Assessment relies on 20-question multiple-choice quiz on XRD and Composition concepts, final practical exercise: design and deploy a complete XRD and group review of the package delivered by each participant. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Crossplane & XRD program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does Crossplane & XRD training cost per participant?+
$5,775 (USD) per participant. A detailed quote is sent within one business day, and team pricing applies from the second participant.
How long does Crossplane & XRD training take?+
5 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 Crossplane & XRD 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 Crossplane & XRD training?+
Proficiency in Kubernetes, experience with CRDs and operators, practical use of the kubectl command line, and understanding of GitOps concepts.
Is a certificate issued after Crossplane & XRD 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.
