James Spurin, your instructor for this Kubernetes Introduction course holds a current certification in this subject and commits to maintaining this certification as long as the course is offered. He is also recognised as a Kubestronaut, meaning that he is qualified in all of the Kubernetes Certifications!

With the rise of AI and autogenerated content, I encourage all students to have the means to verify the credentials and experience of their instructors, particularly in complex courses that prepare you for certification exams. Just as you would be expected to demonstrate your experience in a job interview, I believe you should be able to question or confirm the experience of your instructors to ensure you receive the best education possible.

You can easily verify my credentials and view all of my qualifications and CNCF badges through my CertDirectory.io profile: 👉 https://certdirectory.io/profile/c7dc32da-7aa5-4108-97e0-f7959a7b838e
