# career outcomes

Walk in an engineer. Walk out a MLOps-FC who ships.

By the end of MLOps-FC, you'll have shipped 12 production-grade artefacts and proven you can:

Design CI/CD for multi-service applications, with branching, gates, and progressive rollout.

Provision infrastructure as code across AWS, Azure, or GCP using Terraform — including drift control.

Automate configuration at scale with Ansible — idempotent playbooks, secret-free roles.

Run containers on Kubernetes — workloads, networking, autoscaling, observability.

Shift security left — SAST/DAST, SBOM, signed images, policy as code with OPA.

Operate SLOs — define error budgets, run incident response, write postmortems.

Median salary after certification
$118K – $165K
Roles our MLOps-FC alumni land: DevOps Engineer · Platform Engineer · SRE · Build & Release Manager · Cloud Automation Lead. Based on alumni reporting, 2024–25.

# why this program

It's training built by people who run production for a living.

Taught by senior practitioners

Every instructor has 15+ years operating production systems — our lead instructor, Rajesh Kumar, has 20.

Build your own lab — not a sandbox

We teach you to provision a production-grade environment on your own AWS/Azure/GCP. It's the same skill you'll use day one on the job — and it goes with you when you leave.

100% demo-driven

Every session is a live demonstration in a working lab — never slides, never theory. You watch the instructor build it in real time, then you build it yourself.

Job-ready portfolio

You leave with 12 GitHub-ready projects you can show in interviews tomorrow.

# next cohort

Live cohorts — pick the track that fits your week.

Every cohort is capped at 10 learners by design. That's how the instructor still answers your real production questions in week 4 — not just the rehearsed ones from week 1.

# curriculum · MLOps-FC

Tool-by-tool. Live demos, not slides.

Each tool is taught as a working live demonstration inside a real lab environment — you see it built end-to-end before you build it yourself. The structure is identical for every tool, so you always know what's coming and what you'll have shipped by the end of the week.

# the final exam

3 hours. Online. Open-book. Built to test what you can ship.

The MLOps-FC examination is intentionally not a memorisation contest. Open-book, scenario-driven, and proctored online — it tests whether you can solve real production problems with the toolchain you spent five weeks practising.

3 hours
total duration
Online
from anywhere
Open-book
notes, docs, the LMS
Scenario-based
real engineering tasks

What it covers
  • Multi-part production scenarios that span the toolchain end-to-end
  • Pipeline design, IaC, configuration, containers, K8s, observability, security
  • Debugging exercises — given symptoms and logs, find the root cause
  • Written reasoning on trade-offs (e.g. blue/green vs canary, push vs pull GitOps)
Why open-book

In a real on-call shift you look things up. The exam mirrors that. We test the skill that actually matters — composing what you know into a working solution under time pressure. Memorising flag syntax wouldn't make you a better engineer.

Pass → certified.

Clear the exam and you'll be issued the MLOps-FC digital certificate within 5 working days, with a verifiable credential ID on our public registry.

  • Two free re-attempt windows if you don't clear first time
  • Detailed feedback report on every section
  • Mock papers + walkthrough during the program
  • Hard copy of the certificate on request

# why us

Why engineers pick DevOpsSchool over the alternatives.

Not slides. Not a 500-seat MOOC. Not a temporary sandbox login. Three things make the difference — then compare us line-by-line.

100% live demo. 0% slides.

Every session is the instructor screen-sharing a real working lab and building the thing in front of you — then you build it yourself. No PowerPoint, no "imagine if…".

You build your own lab.

We guide you through provisioning a free-tier AWS / Azure / GCP environment on day one — the same skill you'll use at work. A temporary sandbox login disappears the day the cohort ends. Your own lab doesn't.

10 learners. By design.

Cohorts are capped at 10 by design. The instructor still knows your name in week 4 — and still has time to debug the weird production thing you brought from work.

# frequently asked

Everything you'd ask on a 1-on-1 call.

Don't see your question? Ask us directly →

Do I need prior DevOps or coding experience?
A working knowledge of Linux command line and basic Git is enough. We'll bring you up to speed on everything else from Module 1. About 30% of every cohort enters from a sysadmin / dev / QA background.
What if I miss a live class?
Every session is recorded and shared with the cohort within 24 hours. You retain access to the recordings and lab repositories for the duration of the cohort and a defined access window after it. Specific access duration is confirmed at enrolment.
How does the certificate work? Is it accredited?
We issue a DevOpsSchool-credentialed digital certificate plus a verifiable badge. Each certificate has a unique credential ID and a public verification URL. While it isn't a vendor exam like AWS or CNCF, every cohort includes coaching toward those external exams as a track-add.
Can I pay in instalments / EMI?
Yes — 3, 6, and 12-month plans are available via our payment partners with 0% interest on the 3-month option. We also support employer invoicing.
What's the refund policy?
Once a training cohort is confirmed, the seat is generally non-refundable. The exception is when we cancel or postpone — instructor unavailability, low enrolment, or force majeure — in which case you receive a 100% refund within 15 working days, or you can join the rescheduled cohort. GST and payment-gateway fees are not refunded. Full details on the refund policy page.
Do you give us a cloud sandbox, or do we set one up?
We do it the way you'll do it on the job — you provision your own AWS / Azure / GCP lab, and we walk you through the free-tier setup step-by-step before module 1 starts. Most labs run at zero out-of-pocket. The point is that the skill of owning your infrastructure goes with you forever; a sandbox login disappears the day the cohort ends.
Do you offer corporate or team enrolments?
Yes — private cohorts for teams of 8+ are our most-requested format. We can run them on your schedule, in your VPC, against your internal toolchain. Request a quote.
What time-zones do the live cohorts run in?
Default schedule is IST-friendly, but the weekend cohort works for EST/CET/GMT engineers as well. Recordings cover the rest. We also run a North America-specific cohort every quarter — ask us for the calendar.
