FAQs

About Participants

Is it too ambitious to sign up for if I have no experience with AWS cloud or Solutions Architecting?

No not at all! The intent of the program is to help you learn Cloud Skills. You just need to have basic IT Systems knowledge and time to attend the sessions and complete the assignments.

What is the time commitment?

Apart for attending a 2 hour of weekend session we recommend a total of 4 - 6 hours of study each week. This study can be asynchronous and over the week/weekends.

What if I cannot attend the weekly meetings regularly?

All the live sessions are recorded and will be shared through an online medium for later viewing.

Can I join the program in the middle?

We encourage participants to join the program from very beginning as the technical sessions are built on knowledge acquired in previous session. But if you still want to participate in the middle please reach out to us with your reason.
