Getting Started with HashiCorp Consul

This course includes free access to live, hands-on labs to learn and complete tasks throughout the course.

This course is designed with two main objectives: to teach the basics of HashiCorp Consul and to arm folks with the knowledge to pass the Consul Associate 002 exam. Although the course was designed around the (9) Consul Associate 002 exam objectives, it covers a wealth of Consul topics to get even the most novice person up to speed with Consul.

And hey, if you're already working with Consul, you might also learn some stuff.

Student Feedback

"I went through almost 2 hours of your Consul course and as someone who has worked with Consul in production environments for enterprises with 15 years of IT experience, I can confidently say that this is one of the best unofficial courses on Consul. The production quality and the way you laid out the entire course are top-notch. So far I noticed, you didn't short change on the technical depth. I love courses that cover the technical internals in-depth as it's a productive use of my time." -- Narendra V

"Excellent course Bryan. Teaching format was great -- love the labs and study guide. Slides were awesome. Most importantly this is the best consolidated course I have found on HashiCorp Consul." -- Gabe M.
