Concourse Training

Effective CI/CD pipelines are essential in today’s engineering environment. Concourse CI stands out for its pipeline-first philosophy and powerful orchestration capabilities. But it has a learning curve.

Why Invest in Concourse Training?

Concourse has a unique approach to pipeline visualization and management. Its distinct concepts and terminology can trip up newcomers. Proper training accelerates adoption and helps teams avoid common pitfalls that cost development time.

Our Two-Track Approach

We’ve distilled Concourse expertise into two focused tracks delivered entirely over Zoom, making it accessible for distributed teams while maintaining interactive learning.

Track 1: Concourse Fundamentals (3 Hours)

Core concepts foundation:

• CI/CD and Concourse Architecture: The philosophy behind Concourse’s design
• Getting Started with fly CLI: Hands-on introduction to the command-line interface
• Resource Basics: Working with git, time, and registry-image resources
• First Pipeline Workshop: Guided exercise to build and deploy a working pipeline

By the end, participants understand Concourse terminology and can create and manage basic pipelines independently.

Track 2: Advanced Implementation (4 Hours)

Real-world scenarios:

• Pipeline Design Patterns: Structuring complex workflows effectively
• Resource Management: Custom resources and advanced configurations
• Debugging Like a Pro: Using fly intercept and troubleshooting techniques

This track empowers teams to implement sophisticated pipelines that handle complex deployment scenarios.

Making Remote Training Work

To ensure effective remote learning:

• Pre-Session Setup: Participants receive credentials and setup instructions before the session
• Hands-On Approach: 60% of training dedicated to practical exercises
• Dedicated Support Channel: A Slack channel for post-training support
• Follow-Up Office Hours: Scheduled sessions to address specific questions
