Introduction to BCS Foundation Level Certificate in DevOps

Organisations have never been under more pressure to evolve through technology-enabled change and it’s critical to be ahead of the curve.

DevOps is not just a process methodology, it’s a culture and an essential facet of IT delivery in 2018/19 and beyond. DevOps, and the technical excellence it brings to the table, is the only way to do software delivery in this modern climate.

The latest foundation level certificate is a two-day course, that introduces the concepts and practises of DevOps, followed by an online exam. Its standout is the framework that flows throughout, based on the CALMS model, putting culture at the forefront of digital transformation and taking agile andlean thinking to the next level.
