    How long is the Azure DevOps course?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours) of instructor-led training, and can also be delivered as two half-days. Hands-on Azure portal and CLI exercises run throughout so you apply each concept as you learn it.

    Are there hands-on labs?

    Yes. You practise creating an Azure Repos repository with branch policies, writing a YAML CI pipeline, adding a deployment stage to App Service or AKS, deploying a Bicep template, and setting up Azure Monitor alerts and an Application Insights dashboard.

    Do I need an Azure account before attending?

    You should have access to an Azure subscription and an Azure DevOps organisation, both available on the free tier at dev.azure.com, before the training. Confirm whether a shared training environment is provided when you register.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification, hands-on skills course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through live Azure exercises throughout the programme rather than through a formal test.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. On completing the programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning, recognising the practical Azure DevOps skills you have built. It confirms attendance and completion, not an external credential.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply each service through practical exercises, configuring pipelines, writing infrastructure as code and setting up monitoring, so your progress shows in what you can do rather than a score.

    What will I be able to do after the course?

    You will be able to manage repositories with branch policies, build YAML CI/CD pipelines, deploy to App Service and AKS, write and deploy Bicep templates, set up Azure Monitor and Application Insights, and integrate security scanning into the pipeline.

    Does this course prepare me for real projects?

    Yes. Every exercise uses realistic DevOps scenarios on live Azure services, so you leave ready to apply the Azure DevOps toolchain to your own organisation's software delivery and cloud operations.
