Site Reliability Engineering Foundation® (SREF) Certification Training

Duration: 2 days
Exam Voucher: Yes
Language: English
Level: Foundation

The Site Reliability Engineering Foundation® (SREF) Certification Training introduces the principles and practices that enable an organisation to scale critical services reliably and economically. Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organisational re-alignment, a new focus on engineering & automation, and adopting a range of new working paradigms.

The course highlights the evolution of SRE and its future direction. It equips participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organisation involved in reliability and stability evidenced using real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in the office, such as understanding, setting, and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

SRE Foundation Class FAQs

Yes, all DevOps Institute exams are open book.

No, once earned, your DOI (DevOps Institute) certification is evergreen.

There are no required prerequisites.

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.
