Frequently asked questions
Pricing, logistics and certificates.
How does the pricing model work?
Catalog workshops are priced per participant, not as a team day rate. The seat price is €721.50 excl. VAT per workshop day (1 day = €721.50, 2 days = €1,443.00, 3 days = €2,164.50, 4 days = €2,886.00, 5 days = €3,607.50). Polycrate workshops use the same ladder. Platform Building remains custom.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of participants?
There is no minimum. The maximum is 8 people. Larger groups are split across dates or extra trainers.
Are workshops remote or on-site?
Both. Live online or on-site at your location. Open sessions: 09:00–16:00 (CET/CEST). On-site in-house: seat price plus an individual travel quote (travel/logistics as incurred) — no published flat on-site surcharge. You provide the training room and internet.
What are the technical requirements?
Each participant needs their own notebook. Labs run in a provided cloud environment – local installs are usually unnecessary.
Can workshop content be customized?
Yes. We align goals in a briefing and adjust emphasis. Heavily custom formats are billed by effort.
What language are the workshops held in?
German by default, English on request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes. Everyone receives an ayedo certificate of attendance. CNCF prep courses (CKAD, CKA, CKS, KCNA, KCSA) additionally prepare for the exam; exam fees are not included.
What happens for workshops on our own infrastructure?
Using your infrastructure requires onboarding before the date, billed by effort.
What are the on-site technical requirements?
Internet, a projector or display, and any pre-agreed access.
What does a workshop day look like?
Open sessions: 09:00–16:00 (CET/CEST). Day 1 starts with introductions at 09:00; later days start with morning Q&A. 12:00–13:00 lunch. Content blocks follow the curriculum. Close 16:00–16:30 Q&A.
Is there course material beforehand?
No separate script in advance. Artefacts are created during the workshop and stay with participants.
