Jay Moran SVP of Platform Engineering & Distinguished Engineer at Fiserv I don’t often feel certifications are too useful, but in this case beyond being not vendor specific, I think this is one certification that really helps define a “Platform Engineer” versus someone who does some of the many components of what goes into platform engineering… https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaycmoran/ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jaycmoran_platformasaproduct-idp-platformengineering-activity-7364777833262448641-ku7Z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB7W6ucBwi1gPqF5QCBe36ipfkH_n4Cityo

Brittany Lebel Senior Product Owner, Kinsale Insurance The Platform Engineering course was a transformative addition to my career. The content was well-structured, covering everything from designing Platform Engineering Maturity  Models to developing reference architectures that drive standardization and empower developers with seamless self-service capabilities. The hands-on lectures on Pocket IDP provided an in-depth exploration of the entire implementation process, diving into technical details and real-case scenarios. This comprehensive approach offered invaluable insights into how an IDP functions as a product and how it can efficiently support production workloads.Thanks to this course, I now have the expertise to contribute meaningfully to the development and enhancement of our Internal Developer Platform, enabling us to accelerate application delivery cycles.I highly recommend this course to anyone eager to elevate their engineering expertise and make a tangible impact in platform engineering! https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-lebel/  
Marc Schnitzius Service Lead Platform Engineering at Codecentric AG The Platform Engineering  Certified Practitioner course is a great guide for better understanding that the success of an internal developer platform is not just about making developers happy and shifting all their problems to a platform team. https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-schnitzius/  
Rafael de Araujo Pires Global Director of Architecture at AB InBev The Platform Engineering Practitioner certification was more than concepts. It was a reflection on my own platform journey since 2022.The biggest lesson? Platforms are about people. It’s about listening, building trust, and reducing friction so teams can deliver value with autonomy. It’s about connecting culture, product, and technology, and showing that developer satisfaction can be as strategic as any infrastructure investment.Platform engineering isn’t just code: it’s people, trust, and real business impact. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafaeldearaujop/
