Our take
Based on the ratings of 74 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a short survey of DevOps tooling from The Startup Central Co. It runs 3.3 hours over 59 lectures and 8 sections, covering Git, Docker, Ansible, OpenShift and a CI/CD block, plus a brief theory section near the end. The title leans on Jenkins, but the syllabus gives the whole CI/CD section about 33 minutes. Think of it as a guided tour for people who want to know what DevOps involves, not a course that teaches anyone to run these tools in a job.
Reviews split almost down the middle. Of 74 ratings, 33 are four or five stars and 29 are one or two. Fans like the plain Docker introduction, the short lessons, and the walk-through of building a small DevOps setup locally. Critics describe a quiet voice when text is read off slides, slides that end abruptly, and topics that jump around without a thread. One reviewer could not get a Git clone working, another found it hard to continue after lesson 47 and says some info is outdated, and a third wanted more practice on Jenkins.
The last update was November 2019, so expect old tooling. One reviewer also advises beginners to learn some Linux first, despite the all-levels label. It is cheap and short enough to work as orientation if the topic is new to you. For real Jenkins skills, a dedicated course will serve better. At 3.1 stars from 74 reviews, it is a sampler, not a path to a DevOps job.
Pros
- Short lessons keep the Docker basics approachable for newcomers
- Walks through building a small DevOps environment locally that students can try themselves
- Covers the culture and theory side of DevOps, not just the tools
- Touches Git, Docker, Ansible, OpenShift and Jenkins in about 3.3 hours
Cons
- Last updated November 2019, and a reviewer says some of the info is outdated
- Quiet narration, abrupt slide endings and no downloadable scripts, per reviewers
- Jenkins sits in a 33-minute CI/CD section, and one reviewer calls the practice limited
The course gives you a decent introduction to the most used tools in devOps as well as an overview of the whole DevOps concept.
Listed for all levels, but reviewers say some Linux comfort helps, and it suits curious non-developers best.

no it not good match for me while i was studying about git i didn't understand the topic what actually he wants to tell even though the practical is not working not able to make clone of git repository no even explained what exactly it is
By Victor Aromeh on 7/17/2018
Instructor is knowledgeable but i would advise beginners to do some research or take a course on linux before taking this course
By Shyama Popuri on 6/11/2018
Frankly speaking I did not understand what the instructor was teaching. The training was jumping from one topic to another with no proper relation and flow. There is no concept in what is being discussed.
By Max Kovalenko on 5/5/2018
There is nothing worth yet found combined with poor voice comments and explanation. No aims for examples are defined. Sections are not tied each other, hence configurations are separated without a sense. The course sounds like some brief overview for well aware professionals.
By Amy Morgan on 3/22/2018
I really liked the content of the course over all. I am not a developer, but it was helpful to know how to install and use these tools. The actual real-time installation took up quite a bit of time; perhaps there is a way to speed that up, without losing valuable information? The instructor's voice was calm and pleasant. As noted above, when reading from text, which is done on some slides, the instructor's voice tends to get very soft and quiet. Also, the ending of some slides seems very abrupt. Consider some consolidation of the material. I know I will use this information, and I'm glad I found this course. Thank you!

the first five videos have not been educative in any way
By Jonny Svendsen on 2/28/2018
For my next IT job, I was thinking I wanted to get into DevOps. This course really helped in terms of getting an overview and actually creating my first DevOps environment for test purposes. Thanks.
By Lucas W. Rasmussen on 2/28/2018
Recommended as a DevOps intro course. Covered all cultural and technical apects of DevOps - more specifically the diiferent tools like Jenkins and Docker. So, if you wanna start learning about DevOps, this course is a great start.
By Marie Dalgaard on 2/28/2018
The course gives you a decent introduction to the most used tools in devOps as well as an overview of the whole DevOps concept. For someone as myself in my position, this course was a great fit. Substantial amount of lessons to, though the instructor is rather swift.
By Elin Rasmussen on 2/28/2018
The instructor does a good job of keeping lessons short and to the point. I liked his style and it helped me actually learn this stuff, as DevOps tools can be quite a mouthful for newbies as myself. Simple examples and I like how he actually walks you thorugh creating a simple DevOps environment locally, so I actually could try it all out.
