Course journey
Learn → Practice → Build → Prove → Passport → Grow. Lessons teach the idea. Practice applies it. The project is what you can submit as evidence.

- Week 2: Containers & Orchestration
- Week 3: CI/CD & Automation
- Week 4: DevOps Project
Practice
1 optional practice exercise — apply what you learned. Practice is not required to complete the course.
Assessment
- Lesson 1: Install Docker and get your environment ready check · pass mark 70%
- Docker for Developers — course assessment · pass mark 70%
Prove
Course completion means finishing required lessons , and the course assessment . That grants a certificate of completion — not a professional certification. Optional practice does not block completion.
Builder Passport evidence is awarded for the completed project, not for watching lessons or passing a quiz alone.
Grow
After the site is live, add the public URL to your Builder Passport and use it when applying to Build challenges. Course completion alone is not evidence.
