The course participants understand that the teams are equally qualified to work on the shared kernel.
"Qualified" is not the right English word here. Qualified means that someone has the skills to do that. From what I understand here, it's more about the right to work on it, not the skills to work on it.
I suggest to change it like this:
"The course participants understand that the teams have equals rights to work on the shared kernel."
