How to Reschedule a Practical DevSecOps Course – Limits, Steps, and Tips
Whether a conflict arises or you simply need more time to prepare, you can change the start date of your Practical DevSecOps training. This guide walks you through the rescheduling process, explains the two‑time limit, and offers practical tips to make the transition smooth.
Why You Might Need to Reschedule
-
Work commitments – a meeting or deadline that overlaps with your course slot.
-
Personal emergencies – health, family, or travel issues that prevent you from attending.
-
Technical preparation – needing extra time to set up lab environments or install required tools.
Understanding the process ahead of time helps you avoid unnecessary delays and ensures you stay on track for certification.

|---|---|
| Maximum reschedules | 2 times per enrollment. After the second change, the original schedule becomes final. |
| Eligibility | Applies to all paid enrollments on the Practical DevSecOps members portal. |
| Effect on access | Once the new date and time are confirmed, the course content becomes available at the updated schedule. |
| Refunds | Rescheduling does not trigger a refund; only the start time changes. |
