GitHub Actions certification is an intermediate credential validating skills in building CI and CD workflows, automating builds, tests and deployments, managing runners, secrets and reusable actions across the GitHub platform.
GitHub Actions Training including Certification Exam
GitHub Actions Certification
The GitHub Actions certification training course teaches to automate the whole software delivery cycle, from building and testing to deployment, using GitHub Actions workflows. It suits developers and DevOps staff who want to prove they can design, secure and maintain automation pipelines on GitHub.
This is an intermediate course. You should already be comfortable with everyday GitHub before you start, and if you are newer to the platform it helps to complete the GitHub Foundations certification training first.
Who this course suits
It is a strong fit for DevOps and platform engineers, software developers, build and release engineers, and site reliability engineers who automate work on GitHub. It also suits anyone moving into a modern software delivery role who wants a recognised automation credential.
What you will cover
You will work through workflow syntax and events, jobs, steps and runners, continuous integration and deployment, secrets and secure automation, reusable and custom actions, environments and approvals, and managing GitHub Actions across an enterprise. The training maps to the official exam objectives, so you finish ready to sit and pass. It pairs naturally with our DevOps training courses and the wider set of Microsoft certification courses.
The official certification exam is included in the course fee, so there is nothing extra to pay to become certified.
The GitHub Actions certification proves you can build and run automation the way modern software teams do. It shows employers you understand CI and CD pipelines, workflow security, runners and reusable actions, and it is a practical step towards broader DevOps and platform engineering roles.
With Logitrain the official exam is included in the course fee and there are no hidden costs. You receive digital course material, learn from skilled trainers, and are backed by our price beat guarantee. Study in person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, or live online anywhere in Australia, and sit your exam at any Pearson VUE test centre or online through Pearson VUE proctoring.
There are no formal prerequisites for this course, but it is pitched at an intermediate level. You should be comfortable with Git and GitHub, including branches and pull requests, and have a basic grasp of continuous integration concepts.
