GitLab Fundamentals Training
Learn the skills you need to start using GitLab. You'll cover organizing your work, repository management, collaboration, continuous integration and deployment, security, and analytics. Through demos and hands-on labs, you'll build practical skills for foundational tasks that DevSecOps teams perform, such as committing changes, creating branches and merge requests, reviewing code, using CI/CD pipelines, using security scanners, and viewing analytics.
What you will learn
- Understand the fundamentals of GitLab and its role in DevSecOps.
- Organize work using GitLab's project management features like issues, epics, and boards.
- Manage repositories, branches, and merge requests effectively.
- Collaborate on code reviews and implement approval rules for quality and compliance.
- Set up and use CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and deployment.
- Perform security scans and analyze reports within GitLab.
- Utilize analytics to gain insights into development practices and optimize workflows.

Quality Process
SFEIR Institute's commitment: an excellence approach to ensure the quality and success of all our training programs. Learn more about our quality approach
- 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.
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.
