Free Enrollment Now Open
The Linux Foundation Training & Certification and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) today announced a partnership with CoRise to support its newest learning path designed to significantly increase the number of qualified and certified DevOps professionals worldwide by 50,000 over the next two years.
The curriculum consists of three instructor-led courses, the first of which is free, that prepare professionals to sit for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam. The courses are:
- DevOps Crash Course: an introduction to the principles of DevOps covering key technologies used in modern software development and deployment.
- Docker and Container Fundamentals: lays the groundwork for understanding how containers provide a powerful platform for running and managing applications.
- Kubernetes: Managing Containers at Scale: provides an overview of Kubernetes and the skills needed to deploy a standalone or multi-tier application.
Enrollment is now open for DevOps Crash Course, the first course in the series, which is free. The cohort will begin on June 12th, and runs for 2 weeks. Enrollment will open shortly for the follow-on courses, which will cost $400 individually or $1,000 as part of a CoRise annual subscription that provides access to more than 40 courses.
About CoRise
CoRise is on a mission to upskill the world’s workforce, achieving quality at scale by leveraging community and AI. While the need for upskilling and reskilling has accelerated in recent years, solutions have not kept pace. Completion of asynchronous courses remains woefully low (4-6%), and live courses are challenging and costly to scale across large organizations. CoRise offers a needed alternative—engaging and interactive cohort-based courses that deliver real learning results at scale. CoRise completion rates are 78%, with 95% of learners saying that they learned skills that will help them on the job.
Founded by early Coursera employees Julia Stiglitz, Sourabh Bajaj, and Jacob Samuelson, and backed by Greylock Partners, GSV Ventures and Cowboy Ventures, CoRise is working with industry-leading professionals, talent-centric enterprises, and ambitious learners.
