Self-Paced External Trainings
Teams around GitLab utilize other training providers for accessing role specific training courses and learning materials. This handbook page lists the different providers used, including details on access and licensing.
O’Reilly Learning
The O’Reilly Learning library, contains thousands of books, videos and live learning courses to assist team members with professional development and staying up-to-date with changing technology trends. Additionally, code sandboxes are included within the O’Reilly platform that team members can utilize to practice new skills or hone existing ones.
How to get an O’Reilly license
O’Reilly is funded by Engineering, so is currently only available for Engineering team members please request access via Lumos. Please note, seats are very limited, so you may need to wait until one becomes available.
To ensure seats and licenses are used effectively, access will be removed after 3 months to reallocate seats/licenses to other users. If you would like access again in the future, you can re-request it.
If you’re outside of Engineering and would like an O’Reilly license, you can purchase one using the G&D Fund.
Accessing O’Reilly content
Once you have an active license, we have a content integration set up in LevelUp, so you can find and filter O’Reilly content using the search function, alongside all our other self-paced learning materials.
You can also access via the O’Reilly platform directly.
Google Cloud Skills Boost Learning
As a GCP Partner, GitLab has a number of seats to Google Cloud’s Skills Boost Platform for Partners. This portal includes a wide array of learning materials related to Google Cloud’s offerings, ranging from introductory to advanced.
This is a completely self-paced learning platform with a variety of learning formats, including video content and hands-on labs style engagement.
If you would like a seat for Google Cloud Skills Boost, please request it via Lumos.
Hone Learning
GitLab has partnered with the Hone employee development platform to provide licenses for all of GitLab’s manager population. You can read more about the system and how to access, (including access for ICs) in the Hone handbook page.
MasterClass
MasterClass gives every GitLab team member access to world-class instructors across a huge range of subjects — from leadership and communication to creativity, writing, cooking, and beyond. Whether you’re looking to sharpen a professional skill or explore something entirely new, MasterClass is a great place to start.
The content itself is genuinely exceptional. You’ll learn directly from people who are the best in the world at what they do — think Diane von Furstenberg on building a brand, Chris Voss on negotiation, or Roxane Gay on inclusive storytelling. The production quality is second to none, and courses are broken into short, digestible lessons that fit easily into a busy schedule.
All GitLab team members have a MasterClass license included as part of our learning offering, so there’s no cost and no approval needed — just log in and start learning.
Accessing MasterClass
You can access MasterClass in two ways:
- Via Okta — find the MasterClass tile in your Okta dashboard and log in directly.
- Via LevelUp — search for MasterClass content in the LevelUp catalogue to discover courses alongside all our other self-paced learning materials.
