How the training works

Work through guided exercises and exam preparation for the credential you choose. Before enrolment, we confirm the prerequisites and what the training covers.

Format · Campus cohorts or virtual learning with LMS access

Certification providers set eligibility and award their credentials. Your agreement states whether exam fees or vouchers are included.

What you’ll practise

  • Cloud foundations, administration and solution architecture
  • AI applications, agents and machine learning operations
  • Cloud application development
  • Ethical hacking and security fundamentals
  • IT support and networking
  • Guided practice, readiness assessments and exam preparation

Start with the role and exam objectives

Choose a provider and credential based on the work you want to do. We discuss the current exam objectives, the guided practice in the syllabus and how to assess readiness before you book preparation.

Example of choosing a track

A learner considering cloud architecture identifies which design and security tasks they already understand, then asks which exercises cover the remaining objectives. The learner checks eligibility and registers for the official exam with the provider.
