School of Cloud and DevOps
Cloud and DevOps Career Pathway
Learn to build, deploy and keep running the infrastructure every other product depends on.
You will register and pay on Schull.io, and your full pathway unlocks automatically.
What you will learn
Is this pathway for you?
Yes, if
This is for you if you want to work on the systems behind the product rather than the screens in front of it, you do not mind a command line, and you want a skill set every organisation running software needs.
Probably not, if
It is probably not for you if you want to avoid technical depth. This pathway goes deep on purpose.
By the end of this pathway
- You will provision and configure cloud infrastructure on more than one platform.
- You will administer Linux servers and understand the networking underneath them.
- You will build pipelines that test and deploy code automatically.
- You will monitor a live environment and troubleshoot it when something breaks.
- You will deploy a working application into the cloud and explain every decision you made.
Learning tracks
This pathway has two learning tracks. Your placement assessment decides which one you start on.
Foundation track
For you if you are new to infrastructure and have never really worked on a server. Covers cloud fundamentals, Linux and networking. You finish this track understanding how cloud environments are put together and comfortable working on a server.
Professional track
For you if you are already comfortable with Linux and networking basics, or you have supported systems before. Covers AWS, Huawei Cloud, DevOps practice, CI/CD and MLOps. You finish this track able to deploy, automate and operate real environments.
Start on Foundation and you move into Professional once you complete it. Start on Professional and you go straight in.
What every learner completes
Whichever track you start on, the pathway finishes the same way.
Portfolio
Deployments, configurations and automation you have built and documented.
Career readiness
CV, LinkedIn, portfolio presentation, interview preparation, freelancing and career strategy.
Capstone
Deploy, configure and secure an application in a cloud environment, with an automated deployment pipeline behind it.
Certification
Your Cloud and DevOps Professional Certificate, issued with a verification link an employer can check.

What you need to start
- No prior technology experience is required for Foundation entry.
- A laptop and a stable internet connection.
- Enough English to follow technical instruction.
- Consistent study time each week.
How you are assessed
- You are assessed on what you can do, not on how many videos you opened.
- Your score comes from knowledge checks, practical assignments, projects, a final assessment and your capstone.
- The capstone carries its own pass requirement. A strong quiz score cannot make up for a failed capstone.
- To be certified you complete the pathway courses, pass your assessments, submit the required assignments and projects, pass the final assessment, pass the capstone and meet the overall pass mark.
- If you do not pass the capstone, you get feedback and a chance to resubmit. You do not get certified by default.
What your payment covers
Your payment covers every course in the pathway, the live sessions, all assignments and projects, the capstone, assessment and grading, the career readiness track, and your Professional Certificate.

Common questions about this pathway
It depends on the hours you can give it each week. The expected duration is shown at the top of this page.
Recordings are available, but the live sessions are where you get taught directly and get your questions answered. Learners who show up finish faster.
Yes, if your placement assessment puts you there.
You get feedback and a defined route to retry. Nobody is dropped for one failed attempt.
We do not sell job guarantees. We give you skill, a portfolio, a verified credential and a career readiness track, which is what actually moves an application.
