The Academy has three live certifications:
| Certification | What it covers | Capstone | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGE-AUD (Auditor Specialty) | Cloud, code, pipeline, and evidence literacy for auditors. No coding background needed | No | None |
| CGE-P (Practitioner) | Building automated compliance: Terraform, policy as code, evidence pipelines, cloud security services, OSCAL | Yes | None |
| CGE-AZ (Azure Specialty) | The Practitioner skills applied to Azure | Yes | CGE-P certified |
Our recommendation
- New to engineering, or coming from audit or compliance: start with CGE-AUD. It is shorter, has no capstone, and its Git chapter makes the CGE-P labs much easier.
- Comfortable in a terminal already: go straight to CGE-P.
- Already CGE-P certified and working in Azure: take CGE-AZ.
Not sure where you fit? The Where Do I Start tool asks four questions and builds you an ordered roadmap. The Tech Stack tool walks you through installing the tools the labs use.
Each certification has a free study guide and exam blueprint:
