Accelerating Software Delivery with CI/CD in Cyprus
In today's rapidly evolving software development landscape, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) have emerged as essential practices for organizations seeking to deliver high-quality software at speed. As Cyprus's technology sector continues to grow, the demand for professionals skilled in automating software delivery processes has reached unprecedented levels.
Our CI/CD Pipeline Pro course addresses this growing demand by providing comprehensive, hands-on training in the leading CI/CD tools and methodologies used by successful technology companies. Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, participants learn to design and implement automated pipelines that streamline the build, test, and deployment phases of software delivery.
The Cyprus tech ecosystem is experiencing a significant shift toward DevOps practices, with organizations recognizing that manual processes are no longer sufficient to meet the expectations of the modern digital economy. Companies across various sectors—from financial services and e-commerce to healthcare and telecommunications—are investing in CI/CD automation to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
This transition creates exceptional opportunities for IT professionals who possess specialized CI/CD skills. Our course curriculum is meticulously designed to equip participants with the practical knowledge needed to implement automation pipelines using industry-standard tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our CI/CD Pipeline Pro course
What prior knowledge is required for this
course?
You should have basic knowledge of version control systems (preferably Git), familiarity with the command line interface, and some programming or scripting experience. You don't need to be an expert programmer, but understanding basic coding concepts will help you grasp the pipeline automation principles more effectively. If you're new to Git, we recommend taking our Git Fundamentals workshop before starting this course.
Will I need to set up my own CI/CD
environments?
No, we provide all the necessary lab environments for the course. You'll have access to preconfigured Jenkins, GitLab, and GitHub environments where you can practice building pipelines without having to worry about installation and setup. That said, we will guide you through the setup process as part of the curriculum so you understand how to implement these tools in your own environment. You'll just need a laptop with a modern web browser and a reliable internet connection to access our lab environments.
How practical is this course? Will I be
building real pipelines?
This course is highly practical, with approximately 70% of the time dedicated to hands-on work. You'll be building real CI/CD pipelines for actual applications, implementing automated testing, security scanning, and deployment processes. Each module includes lab projects where you'll apply what you've learned, and the course culminates in a comprehensive capstone project where you'll design and implement a complete CI/CD pipeline from scratch. The skills you develop will be directly applicable to real-world scenarios.
Why do you cover multiple CI/CD tools
instead of focusing on just one?
We cover Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions because different organizations use different tools based on their specific needs and existing technology stack. By learning multiple platforms, you'll gain a broader understanding of CI/CD principles and be able to apply them regardless of the specific tool used in your workplace. This versatility makes you more valuable as a professional. Additionally, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each tool will help you make informed recommendations about which solution is best for specific scenarios.
What kind of career opportunities will
this course prepare me for?
After completing this course, you'll be qualified for roles such as DevOps Engineer, CI/CD Specialist, Release Engineer, Automation Engineer, or Build Engineer. Many organizations in Cyprus are actively seeking professionals with CI/CD expertise to help implement and maintain their automated delivery pipelines. The skills you'll learn are also valuable for software developers looking to expand their DevOps capabilities, as well as IT professionals transitioning to more automation-focused roles. Our career services team can provide guidance on how to position your new skills effectively in the job market.
