Individual certifications range from $599 to $1,199. The lowest-priced are CCSE, CSC, and CMCPSE, all at $599. CMCPSE is at a launch price of $599 (regular $699). The highest-priced is CDE at $1,199. Bundles of 2 or 3 certifications range from $1,349 to $1,999 and save between $149 and $498 versus buying each certification on its own. ### What is included in every certification? Every certification includes a downloadable course manual, 3 years of course videos and checklists, access to a dedicated Mattermost channel, hands-on guided exercises, CPE points on completion, 60 days of browser-based lab access, and one exam attempt. Bundles include this full package for each certification in the bundle. ### Do the courses require prior experience? Most courses need only basic Linux command knowledge. Some ask for an understanding of the OWASP Top 10 or CI/CD basics. One course has a hard prerequisite: CDE requires the CDP certification first. Scripting knowledge (Python, Golang, Ruby) helps on the AI and MCP courses but is optional. ### How long do I get lab access? Each certification includes 60 days of browser-based lab access. In a bundle, you get 60 days of lab access for each certification separately. If you need more time, lab extension is available through the lab extension portal. ### What is the CDP exam format? The CDP exam gives you 5 challenges to solve within 6 hours. After the 6-hour window, you have 24 hours to submit your report for evaluation. This is a practical, hands-on exam rather than a multiple-choice test. ### Which certification should I start with? CDP (Certified DevSecOps Professional) is the most popular starting point and covers DevSecOps fundamentals. It is also the prerequisite for CDE. For AI-focused roles, CAISP is the best seller. For a specific role fit, book a 30-minute advisory call at https://calendly.com/raja-shekar-practical-devsecops/30min ### Are the CPE points useful for continuing education? Yes. Each certification awards 24 to 36 CPE points on completion, which count toward continuing professional education requirements for many security credentials. Bundles award the combined total of their included certifications. ### Do you offer team or enterprise pricing? Yes. Enterprise and instructor-led training options are handled separately from the public catalog price. Request details and a quote through the enterprise page at https://www.practical-devsecops.com/enterprise/ ### When does my course start? You choose your start date. Courses do not begin automatically at purchase. You pick a preferred activation date and can start weeks or a couple of months later. The 60-day lab access clock starts on your chosen date, not the purchase date. --- Attribution: Practical DevSecOps (practical-devsecops.com).
