Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the DevOps Basics: Linux, Git, Docker & Kubernetes training course

Is the DevOps Foundation certification exam included in the DevOps Prerequisites course fee, and what is the cost?
The DevOps Foundation certification exam is not included in the course fee and costs $377. This Open Source vendor-aligned exam is administered by PeopleCert via online proctoring. While Koenig may offer bundled packages including the voucher, the base exam fee remains $377 when purchased directly through PeopleCert.
What training formats are available for the DevOps Prerequisites course, and is Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling offered?
Koenig offers the DevOps Prerequisites course in three formats: live online 1-on-1, public instructor-led (Guaranteed-to-Run), and self-paced. Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling ensures public batches proceed as planned, even with low enrollment. All formats include hands-on labs, official courseware, and access to expert instructors for real-time support.
How long is lab access provided, and what type of lab environment is used for the DevOps Prerequisites course?
Lab access is provided for 30 days after course completion in a live cloud-based sandbox environment. This real-time setup allows learners to practice with Git, Docker, Ansible, and Jenkins on CentOS 9 servers. The environment is accessible online, enabling students to reinforce skills through guided exercises and real-world DevOps workflows.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the DevOps Prerequisites course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of the DevOps Prerequisites course with at least 7 days' notice prior to the start date. Cancellations made within 7 days may incur fees, though exceptions are considered case-by-case. The policy supports flexibility while ensuring resource planning; all changes must be requested through Koenig’s training coordination team.
What is the format, duration, number of questions, and passing score for the DevOps Foundation certification exam?
The DevOps Foundation exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, lasts 60 minutes, and requires a 65% passing score (26 correct answers). It is an open-book, online proctored exam offered by PeopleCert. Candidates can take the test from home or office, with immediate results provided upon completion.
How long is the DevOps Foundation certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
The DevOps Foundation certification is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance. To renew, candidates must earn 60 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points through PeopleCert Plus membership or pass another exam in the same product suite.

What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing the DevOps Prerequisites course?
Koenig provides 30 days of post-training support, including 6 hours of free trainer consultation, access to session recordings, and 30-day lab access. Students also receive exam preparation materials, practice tests, and a certificate of completion. This support ensures learners can clarify doubts and prepare effectively for certification.
What are the prerequisites or prior experience needed for the DevOps Prerequisites course?
The DevOps Prerequisites course requires basic familiarity with the Linux environment, including command-line operations and file system navigation. No prior DevOps or programming experience is mandatory, making it suitable for beginners. The course is designed to build foundational skills in Git, Docker, Ansible, and Jenkins for those entering DevOps, cloud, or automation roles.
What is the average salary and career impact for professionals who complete the DevOps Prerequisites training?
Professionals with DevOps Foundation certification earn an average salary of over $100,000 annually in the U.S., with entry-level roles starting around $85,000. The training enhances career progression into roles like DevOps Engineer, CI/CD Specialist, or Cloud Automation Analyst, with certified individuals often seeing a 15–20% salary increase compared to non-certified peers.
How does instructor-led DevOps Prerequisites training compare to self-study in terms of effectiveness and outcomes?
Instructor-led DevOps Prerequisites training offers structured learning, real-time doubt resolution, hands-on labs, and guaranteed scheduling, leading to higher exam success rates than self-study. Koenig’s format includes mentor access, lab environments, and exam prep, whereas self-study lacks guided practice. Most learners achieve certification faster with live training due to comprehensive support and practical immersion.
