The GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate exam is available for anyone to purchase and take, regardless of whether they have participated in instructor-led GitLab training, self-service GitLab training, or neither. To earn certification, candidates must first pass a written assessment, followed by a hands-on lab assessment graded by GitLab Professional Services engineers.
As of July 27th, the name of this certification changed from GitLab Certified CI/CD Specialist to GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate. We will be offering a series of more advanced certifications in the coming months for those who are interested in continuing to level up their skills in this area.
