Practical DevSecOps has done a great job at curating the CDP course syllabus. The lab-focus format is great for learning how to set up a realistic and practical CI/CD pipeline.

The CDP course is the perfect introduction for anyone with interest in secure development. Going in without any prior Linux, Docker nor Ansible experience, I was a bit worried about the challenge but the course material and the practical labs, together with quick feedback from amazing lectors caught me by surprise. The whole experience was refreshing and even though I struggled at times, finding the solution always felt rewarding. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to broaden their perspective and learn some technical skills to gain a better understanding of the devsecops challenges. I believe this knowledge is invaluable to security personnel in discussions with developers in order to implement good quality security testing.

CDP course is best for those who totally new to DevSecOps or just got in. Great material and labs, team support and challenging exam. And it's fast, you can accomplish certification within a month. Totally worth it. IMHO, if you not new to CI/CD, SCA, SAST, DAST, IaC and CaC then better think of Expert certification (CDE).

Took the CDP course along with the certification exam. The best part is that the lessons are all hands on, and you get a nice community support whenever you face issues. The certification exam is even nicer, and challenges your understanding for all aspects covered in the course.

It is a quite practical course which focuses on hands on which brings you the foundation of DevSecOps.

The CDP course met my learning objectives to learn various DevSecOps tools in the industry and best practices to adopt. The labs provides sufficient resources and guide as well. I like the challengers as it test the student's ability to adjust, think deeper and troubleshoot what is needed to achieve the outcome.

Very effective course to kick start the devsecops process in a practical way of learning. Great support from the tutors!

I have not enjoyed my experience. My primary issue is with the labs, you can’t get started on training until your 30 days for labs start. For someone who very much prefers to do labs last, finding I had to crunch down all my learning, then power through all the labs within a month was aggravating. Ended up wasting 10 days of time just so I could finish the course. In the labs, I often found myself in a broken environment. Runners would not be initialized properly, GitLab server would fail to start, etc. I’d spend half my allotted time in each lab just setting the environment up. Which brings us to the support options. The primary means of support is Slack. Why not have an online forum instead, and not requiring students to create yet another account? Download a program that they will never use outside of the course? It just seems ill-conceived.
