| Jay Moran |  |
SVP of Platform Engineering & Distinguished Engineer | 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/ |
| Marc Mangus |  |
Principal Consultant @ Red Hat | The evolution and convergence of DevSecOps, SRE, and Agile principles are top of mind with IT executives and where the industry is headed, and this course gives a great deal of information on the current view of these ideas. It gave me the confidence to talk about PE with more authority with my customers, and more importantly to ask intelligent questions about what they are doing now and where they want to go in the future. | https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcmangus/ |
| Giovanna Faso |  |
VP Engineering @ Dashlane | As a VP of Engineering focusing on Platform and Operations, I needed a structured approach to onboarding engineers to platform teams, equipping them with the right methods and techniques to prioritize effectively and deliver high-value developer tools. The Platform Engineering Foundations course provided exactly that—offering a clear framework for building self-service platforms, reducing friction for developers, and aligning platform work with business impact. One of the key strengths of the course was its accessibility across different seniority levels. It worked equally well for Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers, and even Junior Engineers eager to understand the criticality of building platforms for adoption. The balance between theoretical concepts and practical application was excellent, ensuring that our team not only learned best practices but could immediately apply them to real-world challenges. Additionally, the course structure allowed subject matter experts to make valuable guest appearances, offering deep insights from industry leaders. We also took the course together as a team, which was a game-changer. Preparing for the homework sessions collaboratively helped us stay accountable throughout the 10 weeks, reinforcing learning and driving meaningful discussions. I highly recommend this course to any engineering leader looking to empower their platform teams and create a sustainable, developer-first platform strategy - Giovanna Faso, Platform Engineering Leader |

| Question | Answer |
|
Why this certification? |
Unlike other programs, this certification blends technical, product, and business frameworks so you can actually build and scale a successful platform initiative, not just understand the tech. |
|
What will I learn? |
Go beyond the basics to design full blown rollout strategies and adoption paths across multiple workflows and teams. Bring your platform engineering skillset to the next level</span > |
|
How is it delivered? |
Live weekly sessions (recorded if you can’t join), self-paced modules, guest lectures, and an active Slack community of 500+ platform engineers.</span > |
|
How much time will it take? |
About 2 hours per week for 8 weeks, including optional homework. All sessions are recorded for flexible learning. |
|
When will the instructor-led live sessions take place?</strong > |
