Improved workflows will result in an improved ability to design, develop, deploy, and operate software and services faster. Likewise, improving the ability of IT to produce software faster improves the ability of the business to deliver value to customers faster.

DevOps Foundation Training FAQs

If you envision a DevOps Adoption or Transformation Effort, the training journey for the DevOps Department will involve follow-on job-role competency training. This DevOps Institute Foundation Certificate is a pre-requisite for those practitioner-level courses.

ICAgile’s DevOps Training Modules are more technical, involving more hands-on programming and testing.

This course provides 16 PMI (Project Management Institute) PDUs (Professional Development Units) (Although DOI has not currently been issued an official code to submit for PMI PDU credit, you can submit for credit successfully by way of the "Other" category at the PMI website. Essentially, 1 PDU credit per hour of instructor-led training. So, in the case of the DevOps Foundation, 16 credits would be applicable.)

PeopleCert CPDs are the continuing education credits that help you maintain PeopleCert certifications in PRINCE2, ITIL and DevOps Institute.

Maintaining PeopleCert Certifications
All PeopleCert Business and IT certifications (including PRINCE2, ITIL and DOI) must be renewed within three years of their original certification date. There are two ways to keep certifications current:

Join PeopleCert Plus (a paid membership) to earn 20 CPDs per year for 3 years and renew certifications that way.
Earn another certification from the same Product Suite (for example, to renew all ITIL certifications you can earn a new ITIL certification)

Eligible Learning Tree Training
Learning Tree training is not eligible for the PeopleCert Plus CPD program. Attendees can renew their PeopleCert certifications with Learning Tree by enrolling in another certification from the product suite they're trying to renew. Examples:

If you hold an ITIL 4 Foundation certification, and you acquire an ITIL 4 Practitioner or ITIL 4 Specialist certification, all your certification(s) belonging to the ITIL 4 Product Suite will be renewed.
Similarly, if you hold a PRINCE2 Practitioner certification and you acquire an MSP Foundation, all your certification(s) belonging to the PRINCE2 Project, Programme & Portfolio Management Suite will be renewed.

Learn more about eligibility and CPDs on the PeopleCert website: Keep your certifications current| (peoplecert.org)

Attendee Process for Renewing PeopleCert Certifications with Learning Tree
Once an attendee successfully earns a PeopleCert certification from the same product suite they're trying to renew, their other certifications in that product suite will automatically renew.
