Great training! Now, I am better prepared to help customers with their supply-chain issues. The training is well structured (Code, Container, Cluster, Cloud), touching frameworks, tools, guides, etc. The labs help put our knowledge into practice.

I am currently working as a working student at an IT company, so I am a beginner in this field. I appreciated that the Practical DevSecOps team delivered on their promises, particularly that the CCSE training and exam are suitable even for beginners. I was able to significantly enhance my skills in Docker, especially in the security context, even though the learning curve was steep at first. With this certification, I now have the opportunity to further develop my career even before completing my studies. The Practical DevSecOps team truly did a great job—thank you again!

Few people know that I just went through one of the toughest exams of my life till now. It was a six-hour practical lab exam consisting of five challenges and more than 20 tasks, big and small. This exam allowed me to use any tools I wanted, Google or any documentation. As long as I completed more than 80% of the tasks, I would be recognized as an expert in this field. That alone should give you an idea of how grueling this "bring everything you've got" kind of exam was. But that’s not all—after completing the exam, I had to write a detailed report within 24 hours describing everything I had done in the past six hours. The report had to include code, commands, screenshots, and more for three examiners to assess whether I truly understood and solved the problems in the shortest time possible. During those six hours, I had to document every step, take over 150 screenshots, and do countless other tasks. At times, the stress was so intense that my hands shook, and my mind felt chaotic. I had to drink water constantly to stay calm when I got stuck on a task. My heart rate during those moments probably rivaled that of a marathon runner. Looking back, the funniest moment was when I kept running the docker build command over and over, closing my eyes and "praying," just hoping it would succeed without any errors. Because I didn’t manage to complete a few tasks, I spent the next 24 hours pouring my heart into the report. I wanted the examiners to see just how much effort I had put in. If it weren’t for the adrenaline boost from listening to revolutionary songs to keep my spirits up, I’d probably be off somewhere doing some serious recovery therapy right now. Finally, after 30 hours of living on fast food and barely five hours of sleep, I submitted my report at 2:43 PM. It was a memorable experience that everyone should try at least once in their life. And honestly, I think I’d still be happy even if the results don’t turn out as expected.

Hand on practical labs covering all of important topics required.

Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP) provided me with a structured, end-to-end understanding of how to integrate security seamlessly into the development and operations lifecycle. This certification is perfectly aligned with my business needs, and the knowledge gained can be applied to establish a proactive approach to vulnerability management.

The course covers all aspects of Kubernetes lifecycle security . The covereage is comphrehensive and doesnt limit the audience to specific toolkit , rather focouses on the building blocks and leverages diverse set of toolkits .

- Instructor was excellent, provided clear and defined answers. - Instructor was knowledgeable and knew different methods to perform the same function. - The material is easy and clear to follow. - The exam though tough, was fair, challenging and engaging.

I was able to understand the landscape of DevSecOps, being a newbie to the subject, through the course lessons. I had intentions of expanding my knowledge further. Furthermore, I managed to implement each of the good practices in my job and my personal projects, integrating layers of security that I did not know before. It was easy for me to understand each of the tools in your course, due to the excellent learning method used.
