Hi Doug!
I definitely recommend you earn the ACP: Cloudability which you access with an AAEP (All Access Education Pass) and the FinOps Practitioner Certification course learn more about this FinOps Foundation certification that our Cloudy experienced instructors deliver: https://www.apptio.com/education-services/finops-certification.
If you do not have an AAEP, talk with your Account Manager or email us at apptio-education@ibm.com.
Tagging @Justin Kean, Principal Instructor and FinOps Certified Instructor and former Cloudability TAM for comment too.

Looking for recommendations on FinOps Training.
Background: I work for a company the is a large defense contractor and we started our TBM journey in 2015. To date the majority of our focus has been on CT/ITP and TCO. Our cloud presence has been growing slowly but we anticipate further growth in this area.
I am our TBM Lead and am very much involved in the 'under the hood' model work as well as developing reports to need our customers needs I'm looking for some FInOps 101 training I can take to prepare myself for increased use of Cloudability/GovCloud. I will be very much involved in the cost/finance side. I'd prefer to set aside a few days (or a week) to attend onsite training (less distractions).
I welcome any feedback you guys can offer based on your experiences. Thank you in advance, Doug Copeland
