Learning objectives

  • Deploy the FinOps Framework end-to-end: capabilities, maturity, and 12-month roadmap
  • Build a unified and standardized cost data foundation across providers using the FOCUS specification
  • Design a multicloud allocation model including Kubernetes and shared costs
  • Govern commitments at scale: coverage, utilization, renewal, and commitment portfolio
  • Implement chargeback accepted by teams and unit cost indicators per product
  • Master AI and GPU workloads, the fastest-growing cost area
  • Embed the practice in the organization: roles, rituals, budget forecasting, and change management

Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

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

  • A FinOps practice with no owner reduces to a dashboard that no one opens after a quarter.

  • Gains from a one-time optimization campaign are systematically clawed back by usage growth, because nothing has changed in how technical decisions are made.

  • In multicloud, the lack of a standardized data foundation makes any comparison impossible: each provider has its own format, vocabulary, and granularity, and trade-offs are made on figures that no one can reconcile.

  • Added to this is AI spend, whose growth rate now exceeds budgets and which most often escapes any allocation.

  • An organization in this situation does not just face a high bill: it loses the ability to decide between its products.

Program

Module 1Framework, maturity and estate diagnostic

FinOps Framework: principles, capability domains, personas and maturity model. Diagnostic of the current state: tagging quality, allocation coverage, existing commitments, tooling. Mapping of spend by provider, service and team. Identification of the five priority savings areas and high-level estimation. Definition of the metrics to track and their frequency. Workshop: establish the maturity matrix for participants’ estates.

Module 2Unified cost data foundation and FOCUS normalization

Data sources: Azure, AWS and GCP billing exports, Kubernetes data from OpenCost, negotiated rates and discounts. FOCUS specification: standardized columns, granularity, provider mappings, key considerations. Building a cost warehouse: ingestion, historization, invoice reconciliation, handling of discounts and taxes. Cross-referencing with business usage data. Reporting: dashboards by persona, from team lead to CFO. Workshop: normalize two different provider exports and produce a single report.

Module 3Multicloud allocation, Kubernetes and shared costs

Complete allocation model: dedicated resources, shared resources, internal platforms, licenses. Kubernetes allocation: from node to pod, choice between reserved or consumed resources, handling of buffer capacity. Rules for allocating shared costs and conditions for team acceptance. Treatment of discounts and commitments in allocation to avoid teams benefiting or suffering from decisions they did not make. Managing exceptions and disputes. Workshop: design and defend an allocation model on a complex case.

Module 4Commitments, budget forecasting and AI workloads

Commitment portfolio: coverage, utilization rate, renewal schedule, lock-in risk. Sizing methods based on baseline consumption and growth scenarios. Budget forecasting: models based on history and business drivers, uncertainty management, dialogue with finance leadership. AI workloads: inference and training costs, reserved vs. on-demand GPUs, pooling, queuing, auto-shutdown, tracking cost per token and per request. Cloud sobriety and carbon footprint, alignment with cost indicators. Workshop: build a commitment plan and 12-month forecast.

Module 5Chargeback, governance and change management

From showback to chargeback: prerequisites, transition timeline, objection handling. Unit cost per product: definition of drivers, calculation, interpretation and communication. Roles and organization: FinOps lead, team correspondents, steering committee, alignment with finance and procurement. Rituals: monthly variance review, quarterly commitment review, annual model review. Automated guardrails: compliance policies, controls in the deployment pipeline, cost estimation in architecture reviews. Change management: engaging teams without turning FinOps into budget police. Final presentation of the 12-month roadmap.

Evaluation method

  • Continuous assessment through workshops and simulations
  • Construction of a normalized cost data foundation from multi-provider exports
  • Practical case: allocation model and chargeback policy defended before peers
  • Final presentation of a 12-month FinOps roadmap
  • Final MCQ to validate learning

Learning method

  • Course delivered by FinOps practitioners working on multicloud estates
  • Workshops using real, anonymized, multi-provider billing datasets
  • Role-play negotiations between technical teams and finance leadership
  • Complete library: report templates, normalization queries, tagging reference, maturity matrix
  • Lessons learned from common FinOps deployment failures

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.

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.
