While Instructor Led Trainings offer Interactivity and fixed schedule, the depth at which you could learn is limited. It mostly scratches the surface and covers the basics, but does not make you an expert in the topic. In fact our founder, Gourav Shah is a coveted Corporate Trainer and has delivered with 500+ trainings to the top companies of the world. And he has designed the Devops Mastery System which gives you the best of everything and includes 

1. Courses : Where you can learn at your own pace and dive into the topic.  
2. Labs : Go along with the courses Where you get practical experience by learning to apply the knowledge by following the instructions. 
3. Projects: This helps you build the Real World Capabilities by building and implementing things your self, without following instructions. 
4. Challenges/Quests: Which offer a Cohorts Based, Time Bound Programs with Live Coching, which are equivalent to the Live Trainings that you are talking about. Its just more advanced and holistic version of the same. 
5. Live Coaching : Weekly Live Coaching Sesssions where you could learn from the accomplished Devops Trainer, ask questions, get your doubts solved. 
6. Community : This is where you start learning with others and start building your own Devops Network Worldwide, which is very important in long run. 

And you can pretty much experience our System at a very low risk with our Starter Kit. Its a no brainer !

No we currently only offer all our programs via online mode. We do not offer Classroom Training Programs. 

We get asked this a lot. Well, we follow a hybrid model. 

Why do we not do live instructor led programs ?  

• In my experience as a Corporate Trainer, and I have an expeirnece of conducting 500+ trainings behind me, I can surely tell you that no form of instructor led workshops could give you the depth of learning that the video courses, if done right, can provide you. For example, the Kubernetes workshops that I conduct, which span across 20 hours (5 days x 4 hours session a day) , I could cover about 40-50% of the content that I have in my video course.   
• Instructor led live training sessions are a logistical nightmare. You have to get the top class instructors, make time in their schedules, match that time with all the student's schedules, and do that for all the sessions, which is a impossible task. Considering that we have learners from all across the globe. So you would have to either compromise on the quality of the faculty, miss some of the lectures, and play constat catch up with the content missed etc. Live session recordings get boaring as they are not crisp and longer than the video lessons which are recorded in a consize, crisp format and have gone through editing process.   
• Wherever there are people involved in the delivery, specially highly skilled people, it gets expensive for everyone. World class instructors cost upwords of a thousand dollars a day, while recorded courses can bring the economies of scale in terms of distribution, and you get the same content for a small fraction of the overall cost. 
• Instuctor led live programs are not scalable. My mission is to reach a million IT professionals by 2030 and make a impact to their careers by helping them master devops skills. Its just not possible with the live sessions. For example, I could do close to 500 workshops which translates to roughly 10000 lifes touched, verus I could reach to 100,000 students in half of that time via recorded video courses. 

Having said that, I still do the Corproate Trainings, which are live instructor led programs, demand for that is not subsiding, corporates are still spending millions on such workshops, despite availibility of large number of learning platforms and video courses. ? Why?  

I acknowledge this , and also the fact that course completion rates for udemy style video courses are low. Following are the factors that I believe is the reason for this,  

1. Lack of Motivation : Its very difficult to stay on the course and complete the curriculum unless there is external push, a time bound effort etc. 
2. Lack of Interactivity : As humans, we crave the human interaction, which is missing with purely video courses. 
3. Lack of Community: Being part of a community of fellow learners who are in the same boat, is helpful to stat on course as well as to motivate each other. Plus having people who are ahead of you in the career is a great way to seek guidance and know where you could get. Community would help with this. 

This is the reason why I have introduced the Membership Model which is a combination of Courses, Community, Coaching and Challenges. While courses give you the deep learning experience, coaching helps you with regular interactions, challenges help you stay on the course and community helps you keep motivated. Thats the power of the 4Cs Membership Model. And thats our approach to Devops Mastery.
