Why this program matters

Without mastering OTA Updates, 75% of IoT vulnerabilities exploit outdated firmware, triggering recalls that cost an average of 5 million euros per major incident.
Teams without OTA skills lose 50% of their time on manual updates, exposing fleets to critical downtimes and GDPR fines up to 4% of revenue.
In 2024, 82% of automakers reject non-OTA-ready suppliers, blocking promotions and market share gains.
Every quarter without training widens a fatal competitive gap, with productivity losses estimated at 30% over product life cycles.

Program

Module 1OTA Updates Fundamentals: architectures and base protocols (MQTT, HTTP/2, delta updates)

Immersion in OTA Update principles through practical workshops on client-server architectures, hands-on with MQTT for secure communication with IoT device simulators, configuration of HTTP/2 servers for efficient delta updates, exercises on concrete automotive industry cases, creation of a first functional OTA prototype with open-source tools like Mender, analysis of data flows and initial tests in a controlled environment to validate professional skills.

Module 2OTA Updates Security: encryption, signatures and authentication (TLS, ECDSA, device attestation)

Focus on cybersecurity for OTA Updates with practical implementation of TLS 1.3 and ECDSA signatures using OpenSSL, configuration of device attestation to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, workshops on asymmetric encryption applied to virtual fleets, simulation of common attacks and countermeasures, development of an integrity verification module for firmware, certificate generation and real-world condition tests, all to acquire certifying enterprise security skills.

Module 3OTA Updates Implementation: tools and CI/CD pipelines (Mender, balena, GitHub Actions, Docker)

Hands-on deployment with Mender and balena to manage updates on multiple simulated devices, integration of CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions and Docker for automated builds, practical exercises on A/B partitioning and dual-bank for zero-downtime, customization of OTA for embedded Linux with industrial IoT use cases, monitoring deployments via logs and metrics, production of a complete deliverable: a production-ready OTA server, strengthening professional enterprise skills.

Module 4Advanced OTA Updates: monitoring, rollback and scalability (Prometheus, Grafana, fleet management)

Mastery of large-scale deployments with Prometheus monitoring and Grafana dashboards for real-time traceability, implementation of automated rollback mechanisms on failures, workshops on massive fleet management via AWS IoT or Azure, bandwidth optimization for delta updates over 5G, analysis of real incident cases avoided, finalization of the ongoing project with deployment on a simulated cluster, performance evaluation and action plan for certifying enterprise integration.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training OTA Updates - Deploying Secure Remote Updates 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 OTA Updates - Deploying Secure Remote Updates 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 OTA Updates - Deploying Secure Remote Updates 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

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in OTA Updates training?+

Hands-on work runs on MQTT, HTTP, delta updates, TLS, ECDSA and device attestation. Those tools come from the OTA Updates program itself, delivered on site over 4 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.

What can participants do after OTA Updates training?+

They can master OTA Update protocols for professional certifying deployments, develop skills in signing and encryption for secure updates and configure scalable OTA environments adapted to device fleets in enterprises. Those are the stated objectives of the OTA Updates program at Intermediate level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.

What does the OTA Updates program cover, day by day?+
