What is AWS Cloud Institute?

Community. Skills. Career – Come build it all here.

AWS Cloud Institute is a virtual training program that will help you launch your cloud career – regardless of your technical background.

  • You’ll build skills through 12 courses of digital training supported by live instructor-led sessions (which you can also watch on-demand), 100+ interactive labs, AWS Jams, and two capstone projects. You’ll get vouchers and test prep for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification and the AWS Certified Developer - Associate exams.
  • You’ll get career-ready through access to things like resume and interview prep sessions, Cloud Chats with customers, and learning how to build a robust portfolio to show your technical knowledge and capabilities to potential employers.
  • You’ll be a part of a community of learners who, like you, are focused on building the skills and experience to launch their career as a cloud application developer and a team of expert instructors who are there to support you along the way.

Why did we build AWS Cloud Institute? At AWS we support our customers who are building and innovating in the Cloud. We worked backwards from the skills and experience they say they need from their cloud builders and designed the program accordingly so that our learners are ready on day one of their new career in cloud.

Who is it for? Anyone who is interested in becoming a cloud application developer—regardless of technical background. Our learners have a broad range of experience – some are completely new to tech and others have worked in technology for years and are looking to transition into a cloud role. Regardless of your starting point, AWS Cloud Institute is designed to help you transition into a role where you’ll be developing in the AWS Cloud. We currently only offer this program in the U.S. In order to enroll, your payment method must be connected to a U.S. address.
