Why this program matters

  • Without advanced mastery of GitLab CI/CD, DevOps teams lose 60% of their time on manual deployments, multiplying production incidents by 5 according to Gartner.

  • Each error costs an average of 50 000€ in downtime and project delays, while 75% of companies without automated pipelines fail to scale in 2024.

  • Your competitors deliver 3x faster, risking 40% turnover among frustrated engineers.

  • Recruiters reject 82% of resumes without modern CI/CD, widening the competitive gap irreversibly without immediate certified training.

Program

GitLab CI/CD curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Advanced GitLab CI/CD Configuration: YAML Pipelines and Runners (Docker, Variables)

Dive into creating complex pipelines via advanced YAML files, configure self-hosted runners with Docker for immediate scalability, integrate secure environment variables and parallel jobs, perform practical exercises on a simulated enterprise project, produce your first functional pipeline with optimized caching and performance reporting, leverage your skills by automating fast builds from day one.

Module 2 : GitLab CI/CD Stages: Automated Tests and Code Quality (SonarQube, Jest, Artifacts)

Build unit and integration test stages with Jest and SonarQube directly in GitLab CI/CD, generate artifacts to persist intermediate results, implement code quality rules with coverage thresholds, apply these techniques to a concrete microservice case, debug failures live with detailed logs, conclude with a deliverable: a certifiable quality pipeline ready for the DevOps team.

Module 3 : GitLab CI/CD Deployment: Environments and Security (Kubernetes, Helm, Secrets)

Automate deployments to Kubernetes via Helm charts integrated into GitLab CI/CD, manage staging and production environments with manual or automated promotions, secure secrets with GitLab Vault and SAST/DAST scanning, deploy a complete red thread project on a real cluster, test resilience with automated rollbacks, obtain a production-ready workflow that boosts enterprise productivity.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your GitLab CI/CD 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.
