DevOps Foundation® (DOFD) Certification Training FAQs

If you envision a DevOps Adoption or Transformation Effort, the training journey for the DevOps Department will involve follow-on job-role competency training. This DevOps Institute Foundation Certificate is a pre-requisite for those practitioner-level courses.

ICAgile’s DevOps Training Modules are more technical, involving more hands-on programming and testing.

PeopleCert CPDs are the continuing education credits that help you maintain PeopleCert certifications in PRINCE2, ITIL and DevOps Institute.

Maintaining PeopleCert Certifications
All PeopleCert Business and IT certifications (including PRINCE2, ITIL and DOI) must be renewed within three years of their original certification date. There are two ways to keep certifications current:

Join PeopleCert Plus (a paid membership) to earn 20 CPDs per year for 3 years and renew certifications that way.
Earn another certification from the same Product Suite (for example, to renew all ITIL certifications you can earn a new ITIL certification)

Eligible Learning Tree Training
Learning Tree training is not eligible for the PeopleCert Plus CPD program. Attendees can renew their PeopleCert certifications with Learning Tree by enrolling in another certification from the product suite they're trying to renew. Examples:

If you hold an ITIL 4 Foundation certification, and you acquire an ITIL 4 Practitioner or ITIL 4 Specialist certification, all your certification(s) belonging to the ITIL 4 Product Suite will be renewed.
Similarly, if you hold a PRINCE2 Practitioner certification and you acquire an MSP Foundation, all your certification(s) belonging to the PRINCE2 Project, Programme & Portfolio Management Suite will be renewed.

Learn more about eligibility and CPDs on the PeopleCert website: Keep your certifications current| (peoplecert.org)

Attendee Process for Renewing PeopleCert Certifications with Learning Tree
Once an attendee successfully earns a PeopleCert certification from the same product suite they're trying to renew, their other certifications in that product suite will automatically renew.
