GitLab Advanced CI/CD Training
This advanced class extends the knowledge and concepts of the foundational CI/CD class, adding the skills needed to implement CI/CD best practices across more complex use cases. Throughout this hands-on session, participants will explore GitLab CI/CD features like feature flags, review apps, canary deployments, and runner scaling/distribution strategies. The curriculum covers additional configuration options such as multi-project pipelines, merge trains, and environment management. Optimization techniques like fail-fast testing, parallelization, and reference tags are examined for enhancing efficiency. Revisiting best practices and troubleshooting strategies round out the content, equipping learners to implement CI/CD pipelines leveraging the full scope of GitLab's capabilities.

Teaching Methods Used
- Lectures / Theoretical Slides — Presentation of concepts using visual aids (PowerPoint, PDF).
- Technical Demonstration (Demos) — The instructor performs a task or procedure while students observe.
- Guided Labs — Guided practical exercises on software, hardware, or technical environments.
Evaluation and Monitoring System
The achievement of training objectives is evaluated at multiple levels to ensure quality:
- Continuous Knowledge Assessment : Verification of knowledge throughout the training via participatory methods (quizzes, practical exercises, case studies) under instructor supervision.
- Progress Measurement : Comparative self-assessment system including an initial diagnostic to determine the starting level, followed by a final evaluation to validate skills development.
- Quality Evaluation : End-of-session satisfaction questionnaire to measure the relevance and effectiveness of the training as perceived by participants.
