Selecting the Right Puppet Course for Your Needs
For most learners, instructor-led or private courses are the way to go. Our Puppet pros are there to support your learning journey and help you stay on track. The peer environment in instructor-led courses can also be a great way to make connections within the Puppet community. If you’re on a budget or have a schedule without a lot of flexibility, on-demand courses might be the better option for you.

Build a Career with Puppet
The demand for engineers, administrators, developers, architects and managers with Puppet experience is high — and growing. Our advanced courses can lead you to certification — which is a great way to validate your experience to employers, increase industry credibility, and get access to an engaged community of Puppet users.
The Path to Certification
To become a certified Puppet professional, we recommend taking all three foundational classes. You would start your hands-on experience with Puppet followed by all three advanced classes. We typically recommend at least six months of practical experience before taking the certification exam.
