Twenty live online certificate courses, each offered at Basic and Advanced level, taught personally by Dr. Chanaka Lasantha Nanayakkara. Every course runs for two months: one live two-hour session each week, eight sessions in total, delivered on Google Meet and certified on completion.
Join the opening two-hour session of any course at no cost and with no payment details taken. Meet the instructor, see the lab environment, walk through the study material and decide afterwards whether to continue. You only pay if you choose to carry on to week two.
No setup evenings, no hunting for material, no "it works on my machine". Every participant gets the same pre-built environment and the same complete documentation set.
Your whole practical environment ships as a Docker image, pre-built and pre-configured. One command, one click, and the full toolchain is running on your machine, identical to mine and identical to every other participant's.
A written study book covering the theory behind every module, so the live sessions can stay hands-on. Yours to keep and to reference long after the course ends.
Every practical session has a written walkthrough with the exact commands, expected output and screenshots, so nobody is left behind mid-exercise and you can repeat any lab on your own.
Each activity, tool and lab task comes with its own guide, covering setup, normal use and the problems people actually hit, written in plain English.
Every live session is recorded and shared with the cohort, so a missed week or a difficult passage is never lost. Materials and lab files are shared alongside.
Small cohorts, a shared group for questions between sessions, and an AI-assisted course helpdesk on this site for the routine questions at any hour.
Attendance and competence are not the same thing, and the certificate you receive says which one you earned. Both are issued and signed personally by Dr. Chanaka Lasantha Nanayakkara.

Small cohorts, live teaching, real practice and a capstone you can show an employer. Nothing is pre-recorded and nothing is outsourced.
One two-hour live session every week for eight weeks, sixteen taught hours in total. Weeks 1 to 6 follow the printed programme outline, week 7 is an applied lab and week 8 is your capstone.
Taught in English, Sri Lanka time (GMT+5:30), open to participants worldwide. Every session is recorded and shared with enrolled participants so nothing is lost if you miss a week.
A certificate is issued once you pass the capstone assessment. Suitable for CPD records. Taught by a BCS Professional Member with twenty-five years in industry and a PhD in the field.
Twenty subjects, each in a Basic and an Advanced edition. Search by topic, filter by level, then open any flyer for the complete eight-week breakdown.
Rollout order: the Basic level of every subject runs first, two courses at a time in the same week. The Advanced courses open once the full Basic programme has been delivered, which is why they currently show as Coming soon.
