Best practices before enrolling

• Ask for the latest syllabus and confirm whether older tools are complemented by current cloud-native practices.
• Request a lab environment checklist (OS, virtualization, repository access, CI server access) before the first session.
• Confirm assessment format: capstone release pipeline, incident drill, and artifact promotion workflow.
• Validate operational details in writing: fees, schedule, platform, recordings, and retake policy.
