GH-300 GitHub Copilot Certification Training

The GitHub Copilot certification proves you can use AI assisted development responsibly and get measurable productivity from it. It shows employers you understand not just how to prompt Copilot, but how it handles data, where its limits are, and how it is governed across the Individual, Business and Enterprise plans.

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 will get the most from it if you already write code and use GitHub day to day.

Some hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot in an editor such as VS Code or JetBrains is helpful, along with a stable internet connection for the cloud based AI features. If you are new to GitHub itself, start with the GitHub Foundations certification training before taking this course.

Candidates can achieve this certification by passing the following exam.

• GH-300, GitHub Copilot, GitHub Certified: GitHub Copilot certification

You can book and sit the exam within three months of finishing your course. Sit it at any Pearson VUE test centre, or online through Pearson VUE online proctoring from a private space.
