How we'll train these

Hands-on exams get labs on real clusters: we break something, you fix it in a terminal, and checks grade the live cluster. Multiple-choice exams get timed practice quizzes with an explanation for every answer, plus labs to see each concept for real.

Certification list checked in November 2026 against Linux Foundation certification catalog. The issuer's page is always the source of truth.
