Most DevOps courses hand you a certificate you have to be believed about. DMI grades your real GitHub work every night — the same checks for everyone, on a published rubric — and puts the result on a public page a hiring manager can open without asking you for anything. 14 weeks, with Agentic AI throughout.

Nobody wrote this page by hand. It is generated from that student's own commits, and you are seeing exactly what a hiring manager sees.
Every night a program clones every student’s repository, applies the same checks to everyone, and publishes the result to a page anyone can open. No mentor queue, no “it depends who marked you.”
Provable things, with one right answer. Does the file exist at the path the course template expects? Is it still the untouched template — or a copy of the answer key? Does your blog post actually link back to your own badge page? Same input, same result, every time.
A few checks stand in for judgement, and we say so rather than dressing them up. “At least 50 words of real writing” is counted after stripping code blocks, so a big paste can’t pass as prose. Any leftover placeholder text scores zero, with no partial credit.
It does not decide whether your answer is correct, whether your reasoning is sound, or whether you understood it. That stays with your mentors in the live sessions. A passing score proves your work is original, complete and your own — not that it’s right.
It tells you the build passed. It doesn’t tell you the code is good.
That’s the honest boundary, and it’s why the score is worth something. Every mark is on permanent record, so “why did my score change?” is a lookup rather than an argument — and your feedback page lists exactly what to fix, in your own words back to you, the morning after you push.
134 of 158 students in Cohort 3 have pushed real graded work. As of 23 August 2026, with the cohort at week 07 of 14. We publish this because almost nobody in this industry publishes any completion figure at all — and we'd rather show you a live one than a flattering one.
We are not aware of another program in this category that publishes all five. You don't have to take our word for that — go and look.
Designed for rapid skill acquisition and real-world impact
Weekly deliverables, squad projects, and a final capstone — all mentor-reviewed with real feedback.
Every Saturday live session with Pravin Mishra and co-mentors — code reviews, Q&A, and direct feedback to accelerate your growth.
Real-world assignments every week — CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, and IaC projects you can demo to any employer.
We integrate Agentic AI throughout the program. The final capstone project is built entirely around Agentic AI with DevOps — the skill employers are hiring for right now.
Complete all 14 weeks and you earn a certificate co-issued by The CloudAdvisory and Pravin Mishra — and it links straight back to your public badge page, so it's the kind nobody has to take your word for. See exactly what earns it →
