DevOps Engineer Level 4 Apprenticeship

Our DevOps Engineer Level 4 apprenticeship focuses on implementing and facilitating the use of DevOps practices within a business.

The DevOps Engineer Level 4 apprenticeship programme encompasses multiple stages of the software development life cycle, automating processes around development, testing and release for continuous integration of new features, and subsequent continuous delivery of a product.

QA’s DevOps Engineer Level 4 apprenticeship programme enables the apprentice to:

• Work as part of a larger team and understand the context of both the development and technical operations aspects of a project in order to streamline communication between teams.
• Interpret design documentation and specifications defined and delivered by specialist members of the team, such as a business analyst or technical architect.
• Understand a combination of strong theoretical DevOps concepts further solidified with industry-standard tooling education in building, containerisation, orchestration and deployment.
• Gain access to a large portfolio of learning for both general-purpose and cloud-vendor specific tooling in AWS, Azure and GCP.
• Explore the developer skills needed for learners to create applications through Python with connected databases, practising TDD and OOP.

Learners benefit from a flexible and blended learning journey, helping them to learn, understand and apply DevOps principles in the workplace faster.

The typical duration of the DevOps Engineer Level 4 programme is 15 months, plus a 4-month end-point assessment.
