Upgrading Your Experience on the

DevOps Institute Site

You may be receiving emails about updating your DevOps Institute member account. We've implemented a new tool to help ensure a more streamlined and seamless user experience. In the coming weeks, Instructors and Partners will be given a new way to access the Partner and Instructor Portals, as well as sales and marketing resources and the DevOps “In The Wild” community discussion forums.

Please stay tuned for additional emails with new account information and a new way to log in and access resources on our website.

DevOps Institute Continuing Education Program

DevOps Institute has a number of tools and resources available to support Partners and Instructors with the Continuing Education Program that can be accessed from the Partner and Instructor Portals, including:

• FAQs for Partners and Instructors
• Continuing Education Program stamp for marketing and promotional use with CEU-eligible activities (feel free to use this stamp to promote CEU-eligible educational activities)
• Continuing Education Units certificate template that can be distributed to learners/attendees upon completion of CEU-eligible activity
• List of CEU-eligible educational activities and criteria
• Continuing Education Program PowerPoint

All DevOps Institute accredited Instructors will also be introduced into the Continuing Education Program and certification renewal cycle. By staying on top of the latest skills, knowledge, and emerging trends in the DevOps space, Instructors will be able to bring current ideas and learning to their class deliveries. 

DevOps Institute accredited Instructors will receive a complimentary subscription to the Learning Community Membership as part of their instructor accreditation to participate in the Continuing Education Program required to renew their certifications.

Additional instructor-specific activities, such as instructor-led deliveries of DevOps Institute courses, completion of train the trainer sessions and successful completion of additional DevOps Institute certifications are also eligible for CEUs.

Foundation Certification Prerequisites Have Now Been Removed for Practitioner-Level Exams

Foundation certification prerequisites have now been removed for Practitioner-level exams. DevOps Institute still highly recommends that learners have their Foundation-level certification before attending Practitioner-level training and exams. The Foundation-level prerequisites are still required for Instructors.

Any Partners or Instructors interested in being onboarded for DevOps Engineering Foundation or DevSecOps Practitioner should reach out to Karen Skiles to receive more information. If you are interested in reviewing the introductory webinars for either course, they are available at the links below:
