The 10-month structure

Two phases. One outcome.

The Career Program is sequential. Phase 1 makes you a DevOps engineer. Phase 2 makes you a DevOps engineer with real production work to point to.

Phase 01 · Training

DevOps Engineer Training

4 months · ~16 weeks

The core DevOps toolchain, Linux, Docker, AWS fundamentals, CI/CD, Terraform basics. Classroom-led with hands-on labs. Same content as our standalone DevOps Engineer course; the Career Program just continues into Phase 2 from here.

Module-based curriculumHands-on labs throughoutOnline · Hybrid · Offline modes
Phase 02 · Project Training

6-Project Training Phase

6 months · 25 weeks · 6 projects

Six structured production projects mentored by experienced working engineers on Techcake premises. Project-led learning, required theory introduced inline as you hit it, not in advance. By the end you have six production-grade deployments in your portfolio.

mentor-ledReal production workSix portfolio-grade deliverables
Phase 02 · The 6 Projects

Six real production projects.
Not assignments.

Each project is roughly four weeks, with structured mentor reviews. Required theory is introduced inline as you hit it, project-led learning, not classroom theory.

Why six projects? Because that's how recruiters evaluate DevOps engineers. Not by exam scores or workshop certificates, by what you've actually shipped to production. By the end of Phase 2, you have six artifacts that map directly to entry-level DevOps job requirements.

What you actually take away

Real artifacts. Not promises.

At the end of 10 months, here's what's actually yours, verifiable, portable, and what hiring managers care about.

A six-project portfolio

Six production-grade deployments, Linux infrastructure through Terraform + observability, all on your GitHub, all explainable in an interview.

training completion certificate

A formal industry training completion certificate for the 6-month engagement, referencing the projects you delivered and the technologies you used.

Techcake Career Program certificate

A certificate of completion covering both phases. Documents the training curriculum, the project portfolio, and the duration.

A polished resume + LinkedIn

1-on-1 rewrite of both your resume and LinkedIn profile with a working engineer, framed around your six projects and what you can actually do.

Mock interviews with feedback

Technical and HR mock interviews, recorded and debriefed. By the time you walk into a real interview, you've already done several practice rounds with working engineers.

Alumni community

Access to the Techcake alumni Slack and WhatsApp group, a working network you can tap even six months after you finish.

Phase 01 · Closer look

The 4-month DevOps Engineer training half.

Phase 1 is the same curriculum as our standalone DevOps Engineer course, four months of structured, classroom-led DevOps fundamentals. Same content, same toolchain, same working-engineer faculty.

The training half builds your foundation across the toolchain that recruiters scan for: Linux, Docker, AWS, CI/CD, and Terraform basics. Project work is structured as smaller exercises during Phase 1, the six big production projects come during Phase 2.

The Phase 02 mentor team

Why experienced working engineers
run your project training.

The 6 projects aren't classroom exercises in disguise. They're mentored by experienced working engineers from production environments, practitioners who come to Techcake premises and review your work the way a tech lead reviews their team's.

● Phase 02 · Mentor-led project training

Working engineers,
not a training shop.

Phase 02 is mentored by working DevOps and cloud engineers running production infrastructure for clients in India and overseas. When they mentor you on Project 4 (the AWS migration) or Project 6 (Terraform + observability), they're teaching you what they actually do every working day.

Mentor reviews happen on Techcake's Kannur campus, you don't get shipped off to a remote office. The project-based training phase is on-site, structured, and tied to deliverables you can show.

What the mentor team brings to Phase 02

  • Working DevOps engineers who guide each project, week by week
  • Real AWS production environments, not sandbox accounts
  • Code review standards from a working consultancy
  • Training completion certificate on Techcake letterhead
Who this is for

The Career Program is built for
three specific kinds of people.

If you recognize yourself in any of these three pictures, this is probably the right path. If you don't, our standalone courses or project-training programs might be a better fit.

01 · B.Tech freshers

You graduated and want a real career, not a placement charade.

You finished B.Tech / BCA / MCA and have basic CS fundamentals but no production experience. Campus placements aren't landing the kind of role you actually want. You're willing to give 10 months to come out genuinely employable.

✓ Recommended fit
02 · Career switchers

You're switching from a non-DevOps role into DevOps for real.

You've been in QA, support, IT operations, or even non-tech, and you want to switch into DevOps engineering. You don't need to start from absolute zero, but you do need structured learning and real proof of work.

✓ Recommended fit
03 · Self-taught learners

You've watched tutorials but can't get past entry-level interviews.

You've done YouTube and free courses, you understand the concepts, but recruiters keep asking for "production experience" you don't have. The Career Program gives you exactly that, six artifacts you can defend in an interview.

✓ Recommended fit

Frequently asked

Questions about the Career Program.

Honest answers to what most applicants ask before enrolling.

Do I need prior DevOps experience to join?
No. The 10-month program is designed for zero-to-engineer progression. Phase 1 (4 months) covers DevOps fundamentals from the ground up. Basic comfort with computers and willingness to learn are the only real prerequisites. We'll assess fit during the counsellor call.
Who runs the 6-month project-based training phase?
The Phase 2 project-based training is mentored by experienced working engineers, practitioners running production DevOps and cloud workloads. They come to Techcake premises and guide the six project deliverables alongside students. You stay on-site at the Techcake Kannur campus; the work is industry-grade.
What do students actually build during the 6 projects?
Six real production projects across 25 weeks: Project 1, production Linux infrastructure; Project 2, containerized stack with Docker; Project 3, CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins or GitHub Actions; Project 4, AWS cloud migration; Project 5, Kubernetes deployment on EKS; Project 6, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform plus observability stack.
Is this program online or offline?
Phase 1 (training) is available in three modes: Online Live, Hybrid (recorded core + live doubt-clearing), or Offline at the Kannur campus. Phase 2 (project-based training) is run from Techcake's Kannur campus with regular in-person mentor reviews, for the project mentorship to work well, on-site presence is required during Phase 2.
What's the difference between this and the standalone DevOps Engineer course?
The Career Program is the full 10-month track, Phase 1 training plus Phase 2 project-based training. The standalone DevOps Engineer course is just Phase 1, the 4-month training half, for students who don't want the program commitment.
Does Techcake guarantee placement?
No, and we'd be skeptical of any institute that does. What we provide is real career support: resume rewrites with working engineers, LinkedIn rebuild, mock interviews with feedback, direct referrals through the team's network. The final hiring decision is always with the employer.
When does the next batch start?
Reserve your seat to lock it; final enrollment happens after the counsellor call and admission conversation.
Is the 6-month phase an internship?
Honestly, no. The 6-month phase is a project-based training program, not an internship. There's no employment relationship. What it is: six structured production projects, mentor-reviewed by experienced working engineers, on Techcake premises. It builds the same skills and portfolio an internship would.
Is there an EMI option?
Yes. EMI is available, exact monthly figures depend on the plan. We'll walk you through the options during the counsellor call so you can pick one that fits your situation.
When does the next batch start?
Next batch start date: 3 Jun 2026. Seats are limited so we can keep mentor-student ratios meaningful. Reserve your seat to lock it; final enrollment happens after the counsellor call and admission conversation.
The next batch

Ten months from now.
You're a DevOps engineer.

Or you're exactly where you are today. The seat is yours if you want it, seats are limited so we can keep the mentor-student ratio honest.
