Linux Administrators, Systems Engineers, Developers, and Cloud Technicians evolving into Certified DevOps and Platform Engineers on sovereign enterprise clouds.
| The School, Core Values & Research
Aperta Scientia — 'open knowledge' in Latin — is a higher education engineering institution dedicated to AI, Hybrid Cloud, and Quantum. In an era of mass automation, we cultivate the deep desire to understand, training critical-thinking, sovereign builders capable of architecting and operating resilient production platforms.
Learning is far more than consuming generated answers: we awaken intellectual curiosity and the joy of mastering system internals.
We train engineers who direct technology with architectural rigor, capable of designing and debugging without digital crutches.
Open source is our cornerstone: Red Hat technologies, Linux RHEL, Kubernetes, and active contribution to an enduring global ecosystem.
Admissions rest purely on motivation and intellectual potential. Personalized accommodations for learners with disabilities (PSH).
Leading-edge benchmarks on distributed LLM serving (vLLM, KServe, RHOAI), InstructLab fine-tuning, GitOps, and Quantum (Qiskit).
| AS200 — New DevOps Platform Engineer The European market faces a critical talent shortage in Cloud Native infrastructure. Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift are the de facto enterprise standards across banking, telecom, and public sectors. The Platform Engineer automates, secures, and bridges the gap between software developers and production operations.
Unlimited 24/7 access to all official Red Hat courses, downloadable e-books, and chaptered video modules with transcripts.
Real bare-metal and multi-node clusters hosted on Red Hat's global infrastructure for hands-on practice in production conditions.
100% live synchronous virtual classrooms led by certified Red Hat instructors at the peak industry level.
Official remote proctored certification exam sittings, including free retake sessions.
75% of the time is devoted to mastering official Red Hat courses (theory + guided labs). The remaining 25% is dedicated to the industrial capstone project and official certification exams.
