Pick your size
Same quality curriculum. Different pacing, pricing, and support model depending on how many people you're training.
Solo Learners
You're the entire IT department. Maybe there's a helpdesk person too, but let's be honest — you're it. Self-paced labs, async mentor check-ins every Wednesday, and a private group chat where you can ask the stupid questions without feeling stupid.
From $89/month
Small Teams (2–8)
Cohort-based. Everyone starts together, works through the same labs, and graduates on the same schedule. Includes a weekly group call with an instructor who's managed infrastructure — not just taught about it.
Mid-Market (9–40)
Custom curriculum blended from our standard tracks. Dedicated account manager. Quarterly skill assessments so your L&D team can actually prove the budget was worthwhile. This is our most popular tier — about 60% of revenue comes from here.
Enterprise (40+)
White-glove. We embed with your team for a week, map the skill gaps, build a custom learning path, and deliver it over 6–12 months. On-site or remote. Volume pricing — we'll quote it out.
Straight talk: our platform isn't pretty. The UI looks like it was designed by an engineer — because it was. But the labs work, the content sticks, and nobody's complained about the fonts when they're fixing a broken cluster at midnight.
How it works
Four steps. Most teams are running labs by the end of week one.
Watch the demo
20 minutes. We'll walk you through the platform, show you a sample lab, and answer questions. No slides.
Pick your tier
Solo, small team, mid-market, or enterprise. We'll recommend one based on your setup, but you choose.
Start your labs
Environments spin up in under 2 minutes. Real VMs, real configs, real problems. Break things. That's the point.
Get certified
Practical assessment at the end. Scenario-based — not multiple choice. Pass and get a Copperline proficiency certificate.
Client stories
Real people, real results. Some edited for grammar — their infrastructure skills are better than their spelling.
"We put our three junior admins through the small-team track. Two weeks later one of them fixed a DNS recursion issue that had been on our backlog for months. Worth every dollar."
Craig Nakamura
VP Engineering, Bayside Fulfillment Co.
"Honestly? I signed up for the solo track because my company wouldn't pay for it. Paid out of pocket. Got a raise four months later. The certificate helped, but honestly it was the lab experience that changed how I approach problems."
Denise Harlow
Systems Administrator, self-funded
"Fast."
Mike Adebayo
IT Director, Keystone Property Management
"We were mid-migration when we realized half the team didn't understand identity federation well enough. Copperline built us a custom lab sequence in five days. Not cheap — but cheaper than a botched migration."
Angela Petrov
CTO, Redbrook Healthcare Partners
"The platform isn't flashy. I don't care. The labs actually work, the instructors know their stuff, and they didn't try to upsell me on anything. That's rare."
Terrence Obi
Ops Manager, Commonwealth Legal Services
