Your first commit to a DevOps career.

You don't need DevOps, Linux or Git experience: we start those from zero. You should have written a little code in any language (at school, in a bootcamp or self-taught) and be comfortable installing software. Classes are taught in English, so you should be able to follow a live technical class and read documentation in English. Your spoken English doesn't need to be perfect, and you can always ask questions in Albanian. Brand new to IT? Start with the free Discovery Session and we'll send you what to practise first.

Two live sessions of 90 minutes each week, 12 in total, about half concepts and half hands-on lab. Between sessions there is homework that finishes what we started in class: about 2 hours a week. The first week takes longer, because you install a Linux virtual machine (1–2 hours, mostly waiting for downloads), and so does the final week, when your project becomes a portfolio. Extra exercises are marked optional.

A laptop with Windows, macOS (Intel or Apple Silicon) or Linux, with at least 8 GB RAM (the lab VM uses 4 GB), 25 GB free disk and admin rights to install software. Work laptops often block this, so a personal one is best. Chromebooks and tablets won't work. You also need a stable internet connection and a free GitHub account. We send a short setup guide a week before Session 1 and help if virtualization needs turning on.

You'll have taken a real web app from source code to a live public deployment: containerised with Docker, tested and deployed automatically with GitHub Actions, on infrastructure provisioned with Terraform, with a GitHub portfolio that proves it.

Small groups mean direct feedback every session, a personal learning path, and real conversation, not recorded videos you watch alone. You'll actually get unstuck when you're stuck.

Ubuntu Linux in a local VM, Git and GitHub, Docker and Docker Compose, GitHub Actions with SonarQube and Trivy scans, Terraform and PostgreSQL, plus the everyday debugging tools: curl, docker logs, journalctl. Kubernetes is deliberately left for after this course; you leave with a clear roadmap into it.

In the final week you polish and present your Deployment Portfolio Artifact: the live deployed app, its CI/CD pipeline, an architecture diagram and a written troubleshooting story. It's a real portfolio piece you can link on your CV and GitHub.

During the course your app runs on a cloud server we provide, no credit card needed. Those servers are switched off on an announced date after the course. In the final week you plan the move to somewhere that's yours: a free hosting option, your own small server for about €6–7 a month, or a portfolio snapshot you can rebuild later on your own cloud account. Your repo, container image and infrastructure code stay yours for good; GitHub deletes pipeline runs and their logs after 90 days, so keep screenshots of the ones you'll show. Moving a system is itself a real DevOps skill.
