# GitLab CI Training

> A practical coaching programme focused on designing and operating CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI. Learners practise pipeline automation, workflow orchestration, and DevOps delivery within GitLab repositories.

## Overview

Modern software delivery relies heavily on automated pipelines that streamline the build, test, and deployment lifecycle. This coaching programme develops the practical skills needed to design and operate CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD.

Across two focused days, participants learn how to create automated pipelines, integrate testing and deployment workflows, and manage delivery pipelines directly within Git repositories.

The course reflects modern DevSecOps practices promoted by GitLab and emphasises hands-on learning through real-world pipeline engineering scenarios. Learners gain experience building CI/CD workflows, managing runners, securing pipelines, and troubleshooting automation failures.
