Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of GitLab CI/CD, 68% of manual deployments fail according to the Standish Group, leading to 3 hours of daily loss per developer in debugging, 2-week delays on releases, production bugs impacting 40% of client revenue.

  • Risk of team overload (burnout + 25% turnover), competitors outpacing with smooth automations, failed security audits (GDPR fines up to 4% of revenue).

  • Invest 28 hours to eliminate these losses, deploy 10x faster, boost productivity by 50%.

GitLab CI/CD training objectives

  • Discover the fundamental concepts of CI/CD with GitLab
  • Install and configure a GitLab CI/CD environment
  • Create simple pipelines with .gitlab-ci.yml
  • Manage jobs, stages, and environment variables
  • Execute automated tests and deployments
  • Debug and optimize pipelines
  • Apply security best practices

GitLab CI/CD curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Introduction to GitLab CI/CD: concepts and installation (GitLab tools, runners, .gitlab-ci.yml)

Dive into the basics of CI/CD, install GitLab locally or in SaaS, configure your first Docker runner, write a simple .gitlab-ci.yml file through practical exercises on a real project, test your first pipeline that compiles and tests code, and leave with a fully functional environment ready to use.

Module 2 : Basic Pipelines: jobs and stages (YAML methods, artifacts, scripts)

Build multi-stage pipelines with parallel jobs, generate artifacts to share builds, integrate bash and Node.js scripts via interactive exercises on concrete cases like a static website, visualize logs in real-time, and optimize execution times for immediate efficiency gains.

Module 3 : Variables and Environments: tests and deployment (shared runners, cache)

Master masked and CI/CD variables, deploy to staging/production with conditional rules, configure cache to speed up builds, practice on open-source projects with Jest or PHPUnit unit tests, generate coverage reports, and deploy with one click for tangible results.

Module 4 : Advanced Beginner: security and best practices (merge requests, monitoring)

Secure your pipelines with SAST/DAST scans, integrate GitLab into automated merge requests, monitor performance via GitLab dashboards, apply reusable templates during final challenges, export deliverables ready for your organization, and leave as an expert ready to scale your deployments.

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.
