It's Accreditation Renewal Time

In case you missed the email notice recently, we're pleased to share that the annual accreditation fees for both your organization and your instructors will remain the same as in 2020.

Also starting this year, we'll be basing the accreditation on a 12-month period of time versus the calendar year and will be sending out the invoices quarterly for those organizations whose accreditations will renew in the respective quarter. Invoices for Q1 will go out by the end of this month.

Want us to bill your your instructors directly? Note your invoicing preference here. If you no longer wish to offer the DevOps Institute portfolio, please let us know and we won’t send an invoice for the annual accreditation. Additionally, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
