Broaden your knowledge of AWS IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS infrastructure

This four-week course from AWS Training and Certification will introduce you to AWS infrastructure, concepts, and services to grow your understanding of AWS Cloud.


Discover the wide range of AWS services including networking and analytics


The list of services provided by AWS is extremely comprehensive, with categories ranging from security, networks, and analytics to storage, databases, and machine learning.


You’ll learn about the range of products, services, and tools offered by AWS and become familiar with their functions and how organisations use them to grow their business. By the end of the course, you’ll know the ins and outs of all that AWS has to offer.


Explore AWS for business development


Whether you’re watching a show on a video streaming service, or participating in a virtual meeting, many of the things you do every day rely on services that run in the cloud. As a result, organisations have a high and growing demand for staff with cloud skills—and not just technical roles.


You’ll delve into the benefits of cloud fluency across businesses and examine how it leads to increased employee confidence, faster innovation, and collaboration to create technical solutions.

Since 2006, Amazon Web Services has been providing not only services but training and certification to millions worldwide.


This course will act as a starting point for you to grow your AWS skills and knowledge and pursue official AWS training and certification to unlock new opportunities in your career.
