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
Daniel Palermi Senior Cloud Engineer at Serko The Platform Engineering Practitioner certification helped me understand the evolution of DevOps and engineering practices over the years. It clarified the concept of platform engineering and its true purpose. In my opinion, everyone working in an IT company should take this course, as it offers valuable lessons that span across all roles.

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/

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?

You’ll master platform engineering fundamentals: how to design an Internal Developer Platform, build golden paths, and scale adoption across teams, all using proven frameworks from top platform teams.

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.

How much time will it take?

About 3 hours per week for 5 weeks, including optional homework. All sessions are recorded for flexible learning.

When will the instructor-led live sessions take place?

The sessions (unless stated otherwise) take place on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm CET/12:30 pm ET. But remember - all recordings are shared, so it’s easy to take the course asynchronously.

Is this course for me?

It’s for engineers, platform leads, and managers who want to align technical and business goals around platform engineering. No coding required.

I’m not an engineer, will I still benefit?

Absolutely. The course is designed for both technical and non-technical leaders. You’ll gain a shared framework for platform success across teams.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. By doing an exam after the course, you’ll earn a verified digital certificate and LinkedIn badge recognized by leading platform teams.

What if I can’t attend live?

No problem, every session is recorded and available on demand.

What’s the exam like?

60 minutes, 50 multiple-choice questions. Passing score: 75%. You’ll have 2 attempts within 6 months of completing the course.

Can I pay by invoice or installments?

Yes, just contact us to arrange.

Can I buy now and start later?

Absolutely. Just contact us to arrange and join any future cohort.

Do I need any specific tools or technologies?

No special setup needed, just a laptop. A basic understanding of DevOps concepts (like Kubernetes or IaC) helps, but isn’t required.

Is coding required?

No. The course focuses on frameworks, adoption, and product thinking, not hands-on coding.

What technologies are discussed?

We reference tools like Terraform, Backstage or Kubernetes, but the focus is on best practices for platform design, not on tool-specific tutorials.

Do you offer private training for teams?

Yes, we run private team cohorts (virtual or in-person) tailored to your platform maturity and goals. Contact us for more information.
