What to expect

By following the recommended learning schedule, the first three weeks of the program will prepare you to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam. This industry-recognised certification validates your overall understanding of the AWS Cloud and your ability to contribute to an organisation’s cloud initiatives.  

Starting in week four, you’ll begin learning how to architect a solution on AWS and gain practical experience. By the end of week 12, you’ll be prepared to take the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam. This certification validates your ability to design resilient, high-performing, secure, and cost-optimized architectures in the AWS Cloud.

Note both exams above are optional and the costs for these are not included in the program.
