GitLab Certified Trainer Partner (CTP) Award
What is the CTP?
Our Certified Training Partner recognition is awarded to partners who have proven themselves capable of delivering a high quality level of training on a consistent basis. The award is aimed to give partners an easy way of signposting to consumers of training a GitLab-official recognition of the quality of their delivery.
Benefits
Once a partner has obtained the CTP award, they will get the following benefits:
- A GitLab-official badge to be used on Partner website / social media / customer communication channels.
- Fast-track onboarding of new trainers.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome applications from any existing GitLab partner, whether on the Open or Select partner track.
Service Offerings
CTPs can provide GitLab Education Services by purchasing GitLab Student Kits and then delivering instructor-led training courses using the official GitLab training materials and lab environments.
Requirements
- Complete the CTP contract Master Service Agreement and legal exhibit
- At least 2 x GitLab-certified trainers as full-time employees.
- The training team must collectively be certified to deliver at least 4 standard GitLab training courses, with CI/CD and Security Essentials as mandatory inclusions.
Requirement Examples
Partner X has two certified trainers. Trainer #1 is certified to deliver the GitLab Fundamentals course. Trainer #2 is certified to deliver the GitLab CI/CD, Security Essentials and Advanced CI/CD course. This does meet the requirements for CTP, as there are 2 certified trainers who can run 4 different courses between them.
Partner Y has four certified trainers. Trainer #1 is certified to deliver the CI/CD course. Trainer #2 is certified to deliver the Advanced CI/CD course. Trainer #3 is certified to deliver the Security Essentials course. Trainer #4 is certified to deliver the Compliance course. This does meet the requirements for CTP, as there are 4 certified trainers who can run 4 different courses between them.
Partner Z has three certified trainers. Trainer #1 is certified to deliver the GitLab Fundamentals course. Trainer #2 is certified to deliver the CI/CD course and the Security Essentials course. Trainer #3 is also certified to deliver the GitLab Fundamentals course and Security Essentials course. This does not meet the requirements for CTP, as collectively the training team is only certified to deliver 3 of the standard courses.
