Included Certifications

Our core entry-level cloud computing learning program includes the following three certifications, and is what we recommend for career-changers or career starters who are breaking into cloud professions at entry-level.

IT Foundations

This certification (often aligned with frameworks like ITIL 4) introduces the core concepts of IT Service Management (ITSM). It focuses on how IT teams create, deliver, and support technically enabled products through a "Service Value System." Rather than focusing on hardware, it teaches you the professional "language" of IT—covering guiding principles, governance, and the best practices used to align digital services with business goals.

CompTIA Network+

Network+ is the industry standard for establishing a career in infrastructure, covering the configuration, management, and troubleshooting of both wired and wireless networks. You will learn the OSI model, TCP/IP protocols, and essential networking hardware. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to secure a network and maintain the "pipes" that allow data to flow between devices and the cloud.

CompTIA Cloud+

While many certifications focus on a single provider, Cloud+ is vendor-neutral, meaning it teaches you the skills to maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure regardless of the platform. The curriculum delves into cloud architecture, security, and disaster recovery. It is highly practical, focusing on the "hands-on" reality of managing multi-cloud environments, automation, and performance tuning to keep business operations running smoothly.

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

This course provides a foundational entry point into the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. It covers core cloud concepts—such as High Availability, Scalability, and Agility—and introduces the specific services Azure uses to provide them, such as Azure Virtual Machines, SQL Databases, and App Services. It also gives you a firm grasp of Azure’s pricing models, security features, and governance tools.

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02)

Similar to Azure Fundamentals but focused on Amazon Web Services (AWS), this certification validates an overall understanding of the AWS Cloud platform. It covers the basic global infrastructure, the Shared Responsibility Model for security, and core services like EC2 (compute), S3 (storage), and RDS (databases). It is designed to prove you can identify the right AWS tools for specific business cases and understand the economics of the AWS billing system.

AWS Certified AI Practitioner AIF-C01

The AWS Certified AI Practitioner certification is ideal for individuals who use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) on AWS but don't necessarily build the AWS solutions.

Earning the certification demonstrates foundational AI knowledge and cloud awareness, making it valuable for both technical and non-technical professionals.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of AI and generative AI, including machine learning concepts, responsible AI practices, prompt engineering, and how AI solutions are built and deployed within AWS environments.

Please note that we can tailor your learning pathway to exactly fit your career goals or current situation. We offer a completely free career consultation, in which our experienced Career Consultants can help you find the ideal learning program.
