# united states
SRE training in United States
SRE training in United States is taken mostly by Operations engineers moving into an SRE role and developers taking on production ownership. Sessions run live online in ET (UTC−5), or onsite at your office — there is no United States classroom. Teams here often pair it with our DataOps and DevOps training, and a corporate batch can cover more than one in a single engagement. A United States-wide cohort spans four domestic timezones and, more importantly, several different hiring markets. The expectations of a platform engineer in a coastal product company and one in a midwestern insurance carrier are not the same, and a session that assumes either will lose the other. We handle that by teaching the reasoning rather than the house style, and by keeping the labs realistic for both. The common thread across US teams is cost scrutiny. Cloud spend has moved from a growth line to a reviewed line, and engineers are increasingly expected to explain a bill as fluently as an architecture diagram. That is now a substantial part of what a US cohort actually asks about. There is no US classroom. Sessions are live online, and the timezone offset from IST is significant — most US learners rely on recordings for part of the cohort, with mentor hours scheduled in US working time. Corporate batches are run entirely within your own hours and invoiced in USD.

# the subject
What is SRE?
SRE — Site Reliability Engineering — treats operations as a software problem and reliability as a measurable target. The mechanics are concrete: define service level indicators that reflect user experience, set objectives against them, derive an error budget from the gap, and use that budget to decide whether to ship or to stabilise. Toil is measured and engineered away; incidents produce written reviews that change something. The part that makes it work is the budget being binding. An SLO nobody honours is a dashboard; an SLO that stops a release is a control system.
Why it's in demand now
As systems have become distributed, the cost of unreliability has become visible to the business, and the role has moved from firefighting to designing for failure. Employers now expect fluency in error budgets, capacity planning and incident review — and specifically the ability to have the conversation about whether reliability is currently worth more than velocity.

# questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you run classroom batches in United States?
No. We do not have a training centre in United States, and we would rather say so than let you plan a commute. Batches here run live online, or onsite at your own office for corporate cohorts. Our two classrooms are in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
What time do the sessions run in United States?
Our instructors teach from India, so sessions are converted into ET (UTC−5) on the batch table above rather than quoted in IST. The weekday cohort lands more conveniently for United States than the weekend one, and every session is recorded the same day. For a corporate batch we schedule entirely inside ET (UTC−5) working hours instead.
Is the SRE content different for United States?
The curriculum is the same everywhere — it is the same course, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. What changes for United States is delivery: the batch times are set for ET (UTC−5), fees are shown in USD, and delivery is live online or onsite at your office rather than in a classroom. The examples our instructors reach for also tend to follow what United States teams actually run.
Do you provide a lab environment for SRE?
No, and that is deliberate. You build the labs on your own free-tier account, and we walk through the setup and the cost guardrails in week one. A sandbox that expires when the course ends teaches you nothing you keep; your own environment does.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and available in the LMS the same day, and you keep access for a year. You can also sit the missed session again with the next cohort at no extra cost.
What do I need to know before starting SRE?
Experience operating a production system; Comfortable with metrics and monitoring; Any one scripting language. If you are unsure whether you are ready, tell us what you work on now and we will give you a straight answer rather than a sales one.
Is there a certificate, and is it worth anything?
You get an industry-recognised DevOpsSchool certificate after the three-hour open-book exam. Most people find the capstone repositories carry more weight in an interview than the certificate itself, which is why the labs are built to be shown.
Can you run SRE as a private batch for our team?
Yes. We build the agenda from your stack after a discovery call and drop anything your team already runs in production. Teams of 8 to 30 work best; larger groups split into parallel batches.
What is your refund policy?
If we cancel or postpone a cohort and you decline the rescheduled session, you get a full refund within 15 days. We do not offer a general money-back guarantee, and taxes and gateway fees are not refunded.
Do you offer instalments or EMI?
No. The fee is charged once at enrolment. Where we show a monthly figure it is arithmetic to help you size the cost against a budget, not a payment plan.
