CDP Training gave me a hands-on experience with different scanning tools like SCA, SAST, DAST. Course videos laid out by segregating complex topic to small chunks, where the beginners like me can easily digest the topic. They followed REVISE, RELEARN, REVIEW concept in the training. That instilled the encouragement to explore more, it made me to finish the course successfully. Amazing thing is, the team of tutors dedicated to you clear your queries are knowledgeable and always encouraging, i couldnt agree more on them... CDP training made me feel confident and industry-ready to solve real world challenges. This course assimilates the problem solving mindset, resulting in making you a dependable source for an organization.

It was a great experience and what makes it great was the user-friendly interface and all the easy interactive platform. Also, the practical DevSecOps team was very responsive.

The course is well-structured, guiding you through the key principles of integrating security into the DevOps pipeline. The material was engaging and relevant. The instructors did a fantastic job of breaking down complex topics into digestible segments, and the real-world examples helped to contextualize the importance of security in the development process. One of the standout features of the certification was the hands-on labs. These practical sessions allowed me to apply what I learned in real time, reinforcing my understanding of various tools and techniques used in DevSecOps.

Having an online platform that provisions servers where you can run the commands directly in a real world scenario really helps to solidify what is being taught. The order in which the information is presented helps to build up that knowledge as you start using more and more complex commands and operations, and the level of detail makes it easy to skip through the parts that might be repeated, and have the information you need in the moment that something isn't working. The support team would respond quickly when I would report issues with the content, things like commands that didn't produce the expected results, or information that might not be following industry standard. I experienced a frustration during the exam where the environment reset itself, but the support staff was supportive in providing the resolution needed to get the environment up and running so I could complete the exam within the amount of time needed. The results came in within the 72 hours after the report was submitted and with the help of the notes taken during the labs, I was successful in getting my CDP, which should be an indication that this course is beneficial.

Detailed course. Lab helps in the overall understanding.

The course covered many topics which was good. After the expiry of labs, access to lab commands should be given to students. I don't know why the access to commands was also revoked. More practice sessions and scenarios should be introduced in the course so that students can get a better understanding of attacking comtainers concepts. I would say reduce few topics and introduce more practice sessions. For eg. Incident response and forensics can be removed and instead of that more scenarios on how to attack a container can be introduced.

The course provided me with a structured understanding of integrating security into the DevOps pipeline. I gained hands-on experience with security automation, CI/CD security, and infrastructure as code security. This enabled me to confidently implement security controls earlier in the software development lifecycle, reducing vulnerabilities and improving overall application security.

The course is a really good in depth view of the subject. The support provided throughout is great.
