It is hands-on, with live Azure exercises throughout.

    General

    What is Azure DevOps training?

    Azure DevOps training is a practical, one-day skills course that teaches you to implement DevOps on Microsoft Azure using Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, Azure Boards, Azure Artifacts and Azure Test Plans, plus infrastructure as code, AKS and monitoring. It is hands-on, with live Azure exercises throughout.

    Is Azure DevOps training worth it in South Africa?

    Yes. Azure adoption is accelerating across South African banks, telecoms and retailers, and engineers who can automate delivery on Azure are in short supply. The skills map directly to in-demand DevOps, cloud and platform roles, making the training a strong career investment. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Do I get a certificate after the course?

    Yes. You receive a Course Completion Certificate from Invensis Learning. This is a skills training course, so there is no external exam or formal credential; the focus is practical, job-ready capability on Microsoft Azure.

    Who should attend this course?

    The course suits software developers, DevOps and cloud engineers, system administrators, IT operations professionals, release managers and technical leads who work with or are moving to Microsoft Azure and want practical CI/CD and cloud operations skills.

    Do I need prior experience to attend?

    No formal prerequisites are required. Some familiarity with Azure and basic development or operations concepts helps, but the course introduces every Azure DevOps service from a practitioner's perspective, so motivated beginners can follow along.

    Pricing

    How much does Azure DevOps training cost in South Africa?

    Fees depend on the delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate) and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact Invensis Learning for a current quote and upcoming batch dates for South Africa. Request a quote to see the latest options.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six modules, hands-on Azure exercises, course materials, learner support and a Course Completion Certificate from Invensis Learning. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enrol.

    Are there group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. Volume-based pricing is available for corporate and group enrolments delivered onsite, live virtual or hybrid for your team. Ask about corporate pricing for a tailored quote for your organisation.

    Are there any additional Azure costs?

    Azure DevOps has a free tier for up to five users at dev.azure.com, and course exercises can run on it. Some Azure services may incur usage charges, so check whether a shared training environment is provided or use your own Azure free-tier account.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and instalment options may be available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on Azure exercises throughout the day, and you receive a Course Completion Certificate from Invensis Learning on finishing the programme.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. You apply each concept during live Azure exercises, configuring pipelines, writing Bicep and deploying to AKS as you go, so you leave able to do the work rather than sit a test.

    What certificate will I receive?

    You receive a Course Completion Certificate from Invensis Learning once you complete the one-day programme. It recognises the practical Azure DevOps skills you have built during the training.

    Does this prepare me for a Microsoft credential?

    The course focuses on practical, hands-on Azure DevOps skills rather than exam preparation. The concepts and tools you learn are foundational to working on Azure, but no specific external exam is included or promised.

    How long is the training?

    The programme runs for one day (eight hours), covering DevOps principles, source control, CI/CD, agile planning, infrastructure as code, containerisation, monitoring and DevSecOps, with hands-on Azure exercises throughout.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Azure DevOps course cover?

    It covers DevOps principles (CALMS, the Three Ways, DORA metrics), Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines CI/CD, Azure Boards, Azure Artifacts, ARM and Bicep infrastructure as code, ACR and AKS, Azure Monitor and Application Insights, and DevSecOps with Microsoft Defender for DevOps.

    What will I be able to do after the course?

    You will be able to create Git repositories with branch policies, write YAML CI/CD pipelines, deploy to Azure App Service or AKS, provision infrastructure with Bicep, set up Azure Monitor and Application Insights, and integrate security scanning into your pipeline.

    Is the course hands-on?

    Yes. Hands-on Azure exercises run throughout, so you practise building repositories, pipelines, IaC templates, container deployments and monitoring dashboards using the Azure DevOps portal and Azure CLI as the trainer demonstrates each step.

    Do I need an Azure account?

    Yes, plan to have access to an Azure subscription and an Azure DevOps organisation before the session. A free tier is available at dev.azure.com for up to five users; check whether a shared training environment is provided when you enrol.

    Does it cover DevSecOps and monitoring?

    Yes. The course covers shifting security left with Microsoft Defender for DevOps and Azure Key Vault, plus observability with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics (KQL), Application Insights and DORA metrics for measuring delivery performance.
