Docker Course Online โ Live Docker & Containers Training with Projects
Live online + 1-on-1 Docker training โ Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, Compose, networking, volumes, registries and image security.
Containers are now the default unit of deployment, and Docker is where every DevOps and cloud-native path begins. This Docker course takes you from your first docker run to production-grade images: multi-stage builds with BuildKit, small and secure base images, layer caching, networking, volumes, Docker Compose for multi-service stacks, registries and CI image builds.
You will containerise real applications โ a Spring Boot or Node API, a database, a front end โ wire them together with Docker Compose, debug what goes wrong inside a running container, and harden images against the vulnerabilities that get flagged in enterprise scans with Trivy, SBOMs, distroless images and non-root users.
It is a short, dense track (about four weeks live, 35+ hours) and the natural prerequisite for Kubernetes and the wider DevOps path. Taught live by working engineers, with a 1-on-1 Docker training option, lifetime recordings and IST batches timed for learners in India, the Gulf, the UK, EU and North America.
Where next? Most learners go straight from Docker into the Kubernetes course, or take the full DevOps course that adds CI/CD, Terraform, AWS and monitoring. Backend developers often pair it with microservices, and the Docker vs Kubernetes guide explains how the two fit together.
Who this Docker course is for
- โDevelopers (Java, Spring Boot, Node, Python, .NET) who want to containerise and ship their own apps.
- โFreshers and students starting a DevOps or cloud career โ Docker is the first tool every role expects.
- โTesters, support and system administrators moving into DevOps, SRE or platform roles.
- โEngineers about to learn Kubernetes who need solid container fundamentals first.
- โWorking professionals who want a short, focused course in early-morning, evening or 1-on-1 slots.

- GitHub Actions
- Build, scan and push images automatically from CI on every commit.
Real Docker projects you'll build
Containerise a full-stack app
Package a React front end, a Spring Boot or Node API and a PostgreSQL database as images and run them together with Docker Compose.
Shrink and harden a production image
Take a 1 GB image down to a small multi-stage, distroless, non-root image and get it to a clean Trivy scan.
CI pipeline that builds and pushes images
GitHub Actions workflow that builds, tags with semantic versions, scans and pushes images to a registry on every merge.
Local dev environment with Compose
One command spins up the app, database, cache and message broker with health checks and seeded data.
Debugging broken containers
Diagnose and fix real failures โ crashing entrypoints, port conflicts, DNS issues, permission errors and lost volume data.

Docker track, FAQs
What will I be able to do after the Docker course?
Write production-quality Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, run and debug containers, manage networking and persistent volumes, orchestrate multi-service stacks with Docker Compose, publish to a registry, build images in CI, and scan and slim images for security โ the container skills every backend, DevOps and cloud role now assumes.
How long is the Docker course?
About four weeks live (35+ hours), in four modules: Docker fundamentals, building images with BuildKit, networking, storage and Compose, and security, registries and production. The 1-on-1 option can be compressed or stretched to fit your schedule.
What are the Docker course fees?
The live batch fee is shown on the Docker course page and is currently discounted, with EMI options. Docker is also included in the full DevOps course. WhatsApp or call +91 9243078181 for the latest fee, batch dates and 1-on-1 pricing.
Is the Docker course suitable for beginners?
Yes. It starts from what a container is and how it differs from a virtual machine, and assumes no prior Docker experience. Basic command-line comfort helps, and the course fills in the Linux concepts containers depend on as you go.
Do I need Linux experience to learn Docker?
Basic command-line comfort helps, and the course covers the Linux concepts containers actually depend on โ processes, namespaces, filesystems and networking โ as you go. Complete beginners usually pair this with the Linux and shell modules in the DevOps track.
Should I learn Docker before Kubernetes?
Yes. Kubernetes orchestrates containers, so it assumes you already understand images, registries, ports, volumes and container networking. Most learners take this four-week Docker track and move straight into Kubernetes.
What is the difference between Docker and Kubernetes?
Docker builds and runs containers on a single machine; Kubernetes schedules, scales and heals containers across a cluster of machines. You use Docker (or another builder) to create images and Kubernetes to run them in production. Our Docker vs Kubernetes guide covers it in detail.
Is the Docker course hands-on?
Entirely. You containerise real applications during the live sessions โ a Spring Boot or Node service, a database, a front end โ and finish with a Compose stack and CI pipeline you can put in your portfolio.
Do I get a certificate after the Docker course?
Yes, you receive a Prakalpana course-completion certificate. The syllabus also covers the practical ground of container certifications, and your trainer can help you prepare for CKAD next if you continue into Kubernetes.
Is Docker training live or recorded?
100% live online with a working engineer, plus an optional 1-on-1 track. Every session is recorded and yours for life, so you can revisit any lab later.
