Live DevOps Course —
Get Hired as a DevOps Engineer
GenAI + AWS Included

We deliberately keep batches small because DevOps requires hands-on practice and personalized feedback. With 15 students, I can review every student's Terraform code, debug their Kubernetes deployments in real-time, and provide specific career guidance based on their background. Large institutes run 30-40 student batches where you're just a number. Here, I know each student's strengths and weak areas by week 2.

Yes. The lab repositories we teach from are public on GitHub at github.com/switchtodevops (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Python, ELK and more), so you can see the material you will work through before paying. The five projects you build are listed on the course page, and during the free demo session I walk through one complete project live: the architecture, the code and the deployment.

There is a 7-day money-back window: if you sit the first sessions and decide it is not for you, you get a full refund, provided you have not gone past roughly 20% of the course. After that window the fee is not refundable. We want to be straight about one thing, because other institutes are not — there is no placement-linked refund here. We do not refund the fee if you finish the course and an offer does not come, and any institute advertising that is usually relying on completion conditions strict enough that almost nobody qualifies. Full terms are on our refunds page.

Udemy courses are pre-recorded videos. You watch alone, get stuck, and quit. Our training is 100% live — you deploy on real AWS infrastructure during class, I debug your errors in real-time, and you get immediate answers. The batch size of 10 means I review your code personally. Udemy has no placement support, no resume reviews, no mock interviews, and no alumni network. Our alumni group refers openings internally when their teams are hiring.

No. The 35,000 course fee includes everything — AWS credits for all 5 projects (approximately $50 worth), access to our shared EKS clusters for practice, all course materials, lifetime recording access, and placement support. You don't pay anything extra. We provide AWS accounts with pre-configured IAM permissions so you can start deploying from day 1 without worrying about billing.

Yes. Most of our students are working professionals. Classes run on Saturday and Sunday, 3 hours each (6 live hours a week), and a new batch starts every Sunday. All sessions are recorded, so if you miss a class due to work, you can watch the recording and submit doubts via Slack. The course is designed for working professionals — assignments take 3-5 hours per week, which you can fit in during the week.

I'm Firoz Ahmed, AWS Certified Solutions Architect and ex-DevOps Lead at TCS, where I managed a team of 12 engineers running 38 microservices across 4 AWS regions. I've handled production incidents at 2 AM, optimized cloud costs from $45K to $28K per month, and interviewed 200+ DevOps candidates. I don't teach theory from slides — I teach what actually works in production environments based on 8 years of hands-on experience.

Across recent cohorts, up to 85% of students who completed the full course reported a job offer within 3 months. That figure is self-reported by alumni and counts only students who finished every project — it is not audited by a third party and it is not a guarantee. Reported starting salaries cluster around 8 LPA for freshers and 12 LPA for professionals with 2-3 years of experience, with wide variation by city and employer. We share company names and roles with prospective students on request so you can check for yourself.

You get lifetime access to: (1) All course recordings and materials, (2) Our private alumni community, (3) Monthly alumni meetups where we discuss new tools and interview patterns, (4) Continued placement support — resume updates, mock interviews, referrals — even 2 years after completing the course. Many alumni return for advanced topics like Kubernetes CKA prep or Terraform deep dives.

Absolutely. We encourage it. During your free demo session, I'll connect you with 2-3 alumni from your city or background (e.g., if you're from Chennai and working at TCS, I'll connect you with alumni who were in the same situation). You can ask them anything — course quality, placement support, whether it's worth 35,000. We have nothing to hide.
