Does a course completion certificate award OTCA certification?

No. A Telemetry Drops completion certificate is separate from CNCF's OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA) credential. Our practice exam is independent preparation and does not award certification.

Which topics does the course cover?

The curriculum covers instrumentation, signals, the data model, API, SDK, Collector pipelines, the Operator, architecture, migration, and observability culture. See the course modules on this page for the full lesson list.

What our students say

Real experiences from those who have already learned with us

"I've been an SRE for 6 years, the immersion was phenomenal. Juraci is one of the minds behind OpenTelemetry, very detailed, he breaks down point by point. Being one of the creators, he can really go deep. Expectations successfully exceeded!"

Willian Saavedra

Site Reliability Engineer , Itaú

"I was able to go deeper and ask questions, it exceeded my expectations, I had several insights from what Juraci brought."

Mateus Santos

CTO , Vericode

"I already had experience with OpenTelemetry, more specific to the Collector, but it was interesting to be able to deepen my knowledge in the instrumentation part. I'm leaving with much more knowledge than I expected."
