GitLab CI/CD Specialist is a technical certification offered by GitLab Professional Services to help the GitLab community and team members validate their ability to apply GitLab concurrent DevOps processes and best practices in their daily work. To earn certification, candidates must first pass a 1-hour written assessment, followed by a 1-hour hands-on lab assessment graded by GitLab Professional Services engineers.
Starting in July 2020 GitLab soft-launched the GitLab CI/CD Specialist certification. The certification assessments are currently available to GitLab Professional Services customers who purchase the GitLab CI/CD Training course for their teams. Course participants gain access to the certification assessments immediately after completing their course sessions. GitLab is planning to offer an asynchronous option for anyone to prepare for and take the certification assessments, with online availability targeted for the end of calendar year 2020.
With GitLab CI/CD Specialist certification, team managers now have a way to confirm their team members possess the skills needed to effectively set up and use GitLab concurrent development, including continuous integration, continuous development, and continuous delivery. All team members who achieve the certification will be able to apply CI/CD functionality and best practices to speed up development and release higher quality software.
