I really liked the course format you have designed and how you teach it. I think it's right that the course is divided into a practical part and a theoretical one. For someone who has never seen anything about Docker or who doesn't have the concepts clear, it's very helpful.

I had no experience with Docker and the course has helped me a lot to understand what it is, how it works, and learn to use it in a clear and concise way..

The Docker course has helped me refresh and solidify both basic and advanced concepts about using Docker. Being a hands-on training, I have been able to integrate this new knowledge into my daily routine without problems.

A well-organized course that has helped to reinforce and expand our basic knowledge of Docker to be able to get more out of it in our daily lives.

Why Docker?
Docker solves some of the most common infrastructure problems, almost allowing us to eliminate the famous "it works on my machine".
How? By homogenizing environments.
But how? By treating infrastructure as code, automating processes, and encapsulating applications along with all their dependencies.

Methodology
Nowadays, anyone can read a book or watch a video, but the really difficult part is putting what you've learned into practice. That's why, in our course, we want students to spend most of their time practicing and not listening to theory.
In pursuit of quality and satisfaction for all attendees, we believe it is essential to have two senior instructors. This allows us to have enough availability to provide personalized help while students program.
We strive to maximize learning. To achieve this, we create a dynamic environment (Flow) by working in pairs, short exercises, quickly resolving doubts, jointly discussing different solutions, and providing very close support.
From our experience as teachers, developers, and entrepreneurs, we understand the challenges of software development. Having taught over 60 courses to more than 800 students allows us to know the needs of the students and pay attention to every detail of the training.
All of the above guarantees our goal of ensuring you are satisfied, acquire the necessary skills to transform your way of developing, and start writing sustainable code.

Frequently asked questions
Who is it aimed at?
To all those companies that want to Dockerize their services.
To those companies that want to make a leap in quality in how they manage their infrastructure.
To those teams for whom deploying to production is a pain for them and their clients every time.
To those teams that every time they onboard a new colleague, it takes several days for them to configure all the services of the company on their machine.
What is the level of the course?
The course is designed for all levels of Docker: from beginners to those who use Docker regularly.
The course is very intense and practical. It has been designed so that it is easy to follow for attendees, with many demonstrations and code examples.
Can the course be subsidized by FUNDAE?
Yes, the course can be subsidized through FUNDAE.
Currently, 208 € can be subsidized per student.
We provide all the data for its online submission, but we do not process it.
Why should the whole team attend?
Bringing the whole team together, in addition to generating team building, allows people who usually don't work together to collaborate.
Throughout the days, we encourage dialogue and debates among the team, which help align their vision.
Nothing better than two days of training to motivate the team.
How is the course developed?
The course consists of several blocks of two hours.
Each block starts with a brief theoretical introduction.
This is followed by an exercise done in pairs where they put into practice what was covered in the theoretical part while the trainers provide constant feedback to the participants.
The block ends with a group debate, where the participants share what they have learned and we have discussions all together.
Can I sign up by myself?
The course is designed to be delivered in companies.
We also offer open courses where anyone can sign up.
Sign up and we will inform you about the upcoming courses near you.
What material do I need?
You only need to bring a computer with the development tools that each person uses installed. Ideally, the course should be taken on the same machines that the team uses in their day to day and Docker.
In person, a room with a projector or a large screen and a whiteboard for writing is needed. The ideal setup is to have a computer with two screens, two keyboards, and two mice for every two people.
Remotely, a microphone, headphones, and webcam are needed for each participant.
And after the course, what?
The exercises done in the course are specific for learning one concept at a time. During our day to day, we face much more complex problems and with poorly maintained code.
Therefore, after the course, we offer support to help you Dockerize your services and automate your processes on a Continuous Integration server.
