AWS Academy Cloud Foundations is intended for students who seek an overall understanding of cloud computing concepts, independent of specific technical roles. It provides a detailed overview of cloud concepts, AWS core services, security, architecture, pricing, and support.
Our year 13 students are currently gaining much sought after skills with their access to a range of courses provided by AWS Academy. Students firstly study the cloud foundations course, which takes around 20 hours to complete. Students then continue onto the cloud security course as we believe that everyone has a responsibility when it comes to Cyber Security. Upon completion of the Cyber Security course, students are then able to choose from a range of different courses, such as cloud developing for aspiring programmers, or for those seeking careers in big data, students can opt for the cloud data engineer course, these bespoke courses take around 40 hours to complete and there are a number of knowledge checks and labs that have to be completed to complete the course.
