AWS Academy is a global initiative by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that bridges the gap between academic learning and industry demands by providing higher education institutions with a no-cost, ready-to-teach cloud computing curriculum. Launched in 2017, the program aims to equip students with in-demand cloud skills, preparing them for industry-recognized certifications and careers in the rapidly evolving cloud computing sector.
The curriculum encompasses a range of courses designed to cater to various skill levels and career paths. These include foundational courses like AWS Academy Cloud Foundations, which introduces students to core cloud concepts, as well as more specialized courses such as AWS Academy Cloud Architecting, AWS Academy Cloud Developing, and AWS Academy Cloud Operations. Each course combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience through access to AWS services, enabling students to apply their learning in real-world scenarios.
One of the key benefits of AWS Academy is its alignment with AWS Certification exams. Students who complete the courses are well-prepared to pursue certifications like the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, and AWS Certified Developer – Associate. Additionally, students receive a 50% discount voucher for AWS Certification exams, making it more accessible to validate their cloud expertise.
Educators also benefit from the program through access to professional development resources, training, and a 50% discount on AWS Certification exams. This support ensures that instructors are well-equipped to deliver the curriculum effectively and stay current with the latest AWS technologies and best practices.
AWS Academy’s impact is evident in its global reach, having trained over 2 million learners worldwide since its inception. Institutions that have integrated AWS Academy into their programs report enhanced student employability, with graduates securing positions at leading organizations such as Goldman Sachs, Visa, and Bank of America.
By partnering with AWS Academy, our course center is committed to providing students with cutting-edge cloud computing education that aligns with industry standards. This collaboration ensures that our graduates are not only knowledgeable but also possess the practical skills and certifications needed to thrive in today’s cloud-driven job market.
