GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate
GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate is the DevOps credential for building and running CI/CD pipelines in GitLab. Being a working-practitioner credential that assumes you already handle day-to-day tasks, it is aimed at people whose week already involves writing .gitlab-ci.yml pipelines, configuring runners, and managing artifacts, variables and deployments. WebAsha Technologies prepares you with live instructor-led sessions and pipeline build labs, following the objective list DevOps publishes for this exam rather than a summary of it.

GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate training and certification exam preparation centre
GitLab Certified CI/CD Associate is part of the official DevOps certification programme. The exam tests practical knowledge of GitLab CI/CD, judged against how it behaves in real use.
This is a working-practitioner credential: it assumes you already do the job and can be trusted with day-to-day tasks. It is worth holding if building and running CI/CD pipelines in GitLab is already part of your day, or is where you want your next role to be.
Training combines live teaching with pipeline build labs built from the DevOps objective list, so the exam covers ground you have already worked through. Preparation assumes some hands-on exposure and concentrates on closing the gaps that cost marks.
The listed fee is USD 200; booked through WebAsha it is USD 129, a 10% saving. DevOps sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
DevOps sets the format, duration, passing score and validity, and revises them periodically, so check the official exam page for today's values. We confirm them with you at booking.
