About ClusterForge Academy
We formed around a simple frustration: certification prep slides rarely match the noise of real clusters. Our instructors came from platform engineering, curriculum design, and incident coaching—not from generic training factories. We publish narrow promises, ship reproducible labs, and keep schedules legible for teams operating out of Korea while collaborating globally.
Principles
- Evidence before slogans: every public claim ties to a module you can inspect.
- Time honesty: we state how long drills take, including failure recovery.
- Exam boundaries: we never imply official endorsement from CNCF or the Linux Foundation.
- Accessibility: keyboard-first lab paths remain first-class even when GUIs exist.
