Version control training helps you understand how Git supports controlled code updates, shared repositories and reliable development practice. By developing these skills, you can work more effectively with branching, review processes and release activity, while building capability that supports technical certification routes where relevant and strengthens your contribution across software testing, development and DevOps teams.
Version control courses
Develop your capability in version control to collaborate effectively within software delivery environments. Our training courses focus on Git workflows, code change management and team-based development, helping developers, testers and technical professionals build the relevant skills needed for effectively day-to-day delivery work, career progression and certification preparation.
Why choose Version Control?
Version control gives development, testing and DevOps teams a reliable way to organise code changes, protect project history and support controlled releases. Our courses will also help you understand how Git-based practices support review, rollback and coordinated delivery, equipping you with the practical skills needed to work with shared codebases and maintain clarity across technical projects.

FAQs
Version control gives teams a structured way to record, review and coordinate changes to software files. These FAQs explain how version control works, why Git and GitHub matter, and how training can help technical professionals work more confidently with shared code and delivery activity.
What is version control?
Version control is a method for recording changes to files over time, most commonly source code. It allows teams to see what changed, when it changed and who made the change. This makes it easier to review work, compare earlier versions, reverse unwanted updates and keep development activity organised across individual and shared projects.
Why is version control important in software delivery?
Version control is important because software changes rarely happen in isolation. Developers, testers and DevOps professionals often need to work on the same codebase without losing visibility or control. Version control helps teams separate work, review updates before they are integrated and maintain a clear record of decisions throughout the delivery lifecycle.
What is Git?
Git is a version control system used to record and manage changes to files. It allows you to create repositories, make commits, work on branches and compare different versions of a codebase. Git is commonly used because it supports both individual development work and coordinated activity across technical teams.
What is GitHub?
GitHub is a platform that hosts Git repositories and adds features for shared development work. It gives teams a central place to review changes, raise pull requests, manage access and organise project activity. GitHub is useful because it makes Git-based workflows easier to manage across distributed or cross-functional teams.
What is GitLab?
GitLab is a platform for hosting Git repositories and supporting structured software delivery. It provides tools for managing code, reviewing changes, controlling access and organising project activity. GitLab is useful for teams that want version control to sit alongside wider development and delivery workflows in one environment.
Do I need previous experience to start version control training?
You do not need previous experience with version control tools to start. The courses are suitable if you are new to Git-based working, although basic computer literacy is expected. Familiarity with command-line tasks may be useful, but the training is designed to develop your understanding progressively through practical exercises.
Who is version control training for?
Version control training is relevant for developers, testers, engineers, DevOps practitioners and other technical professionals who work with software files or shared codebases. It is also useful if you need to understand how development teams organise changes, review work and maintain control across ongoing project activity.
What skills can I develop through version control courses?
You can develop practical skills in using Git repositories, commits, branches and remote working practices. Depending on the course, you may also explore GitHub or GitLab features that support review activity, access control and shared project workflows. These skills can help you contribute more effectively to structured software delivery.
