If you’re reading this in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, or anywhere across the UK, chances are you’ve noticed the shift: companies are no longer asking “Should we do DevSecOps?” but “How fast can we hire someone who already knows it?” From fintech giants in Canary Wharf to scale-ups in Shoreditch, secure pipelines have become the new standard. That’s exactly why DevSecOps Training in the United Kingdom and London by DevOpsSchool is creating such a buzz among British tech professionals right now.
I’ve spoken to dozens of engineers who moved from traditional DevOps roles to DevSecOps positions paying £65k–£95k+ in London alone. The common thread? They all invested in solid, hands-on training that went beyond theory. In this in-depth guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about DevOpsSchool’s flagship DevSecOps program — the curriculum, the mentor, the outcomes, and real student stories — so you can decide if it’s the right next step for your career in 2025 and beyond.
Why DevSecOps is Exploding in the UK Right Now
The numbers don’t lie:
- UK cyber breaches cost businesses £27bn+ annually (Gov.uk 2024 report)
- 78% of large UK firms now require security baked into CI/CD (Tech Nation)
- Average London DevSecOps salary: £78,500 (Glassdoor, Dec 2025)
Who This Training is Perfect For (And Who It’s Not)
This course works brilliantly for:
- Developers tired of being the “security blocker” at the end of sprints
- DevOps engineers who want to automate compliance instead of firefighting alerts
- Cloud architects moving teams to AWS/GCP/Azure with zero-trust principles
- Security analysts wanting to speak the same language as developers
- Graduates or career-switchers eyeing London’s booming fintech scene

Meet Your Mentor: Rajesh Kumar – The Name Behind the Magic
This isn’t taught by junior instructors reading slides. Every batch is personally governed and regularly mentored by Rajesh Kumar — a globally respected expert with over 20 years in DevOps, DevSecOps, SRE, Kubernetes, and cloud-native security. Rajesh has trained engineers at Fortune 500 companies across London, New York, Singapore, and beyond. His style? Calm, deeply practical, and famous for turning “impossible” concepts into 10-minute demos.
Students repeatedly say the same thing: “Rajesh doesn’t just teach tools — he teaches you how to think like a senior DevSecOps engineer.”
Certification & Career Support That Actually Works
On completion you receive the DevOps Certified Professional (DCP) credential — widely recognised across UK enterprises. But the real value is the support package:
- Lifetime technical help desk
- Mock interviews with London-specific questions
- CV & LinkedIn profile reviews
- Introduction to UK recruiters who specialise in DevSecOps
What Graduates Are Saying (Real Reviews, 2024–2025)
James C. – Senior Platform Engineer, London “Moved from £62k to £88k within 3 months. Rajesh’s capstone project became the centerpiece of my interviews at a Tier-1 bank.”
Priya M. – DevOps Consultant, Manchester “Best decision of my career. The labs mirror real UK financial-sector environments — GDPR, PCI-DSS, the lot.”
Alex T. – Graduate → DevSecOps Engineer, Shoreditch “Went from zero security knowledge to passing probation at a fintech unicorn. The lifetime access is a godsend.”
Sarah K. – Security Analyst, Edinburgh “Finally understand developers! Rajesh bridges the gap like no one else.”
