(For Software Developers, QA Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and Architects)
This training gives you hands-on guidance on organizing GitLab projects and building stable, secure, and scalable delivery pipelines with GitLab CI/CD. From repository structure and .gitlab-ci.yml fundamentals to reusable templates, release strategies, and DevSecOps, you will learn how teams can deliver faster while maintaining clarity and quality.
All modules are hands-on: You will structure GitLab projects, create build and deployment pipelines, integrate security checks and test automation, and implement practical optimizations for performance, maintainability, and governance.
Learn:
Set up GitLab pipelines securely: Apply stages, rules, variables, and secret handling in a practical way.
Create reusable .gitlab-ci.yml templates: Use includes, components, and child pipelines effectively.
Improve pipeline performance: Use runners, caching, artifacts, and parallelization strategically.
Integrate DevSecOps: Embed SAST, dependency and secret scanning directly into merge requests and pipelines.
Secure quality and release flow: Integrate test automation, environment strategies, and release governance end-to-end.

Farah
My experience with the Clean Code training (2 days) was great. I gained a lot of knowledge about clean code, refactoring, unit tests and various software design techniques. The trainer conveyed the information in a very engaging way. There was always an opportunity to ask questions. I can definitely recommend the Clean Code training for junior developers.
Henning
We have now completed our third training with Stefan Dirschnabel and it was once again a great benefit for our team. Preparation top-notch, very structured process and excellent expertise. All questions were answered and we were also offered help going forward. Thank you Stefan for the training. We will definitely come back!
Johannes
Would do it again anytime! The Clean Code training was very well structured, had an enormous amount of content, and was also wonderfully varied and entertaining. You can tell that Stefan Dirschnabel brings not only a great deal of knowledge and experience, but also great enthusiasm for software development!
