Amazon Web Services is launching new digital subscription training resources designed to help IT professionals prepare for certification exam and advance their cloud infrastructure skills, including features to help learners prepare for AWS-specific certifications.
The subscriptions, AWS Skill Builder Individual and Team subscriptions, build on the launch of AWS Skill Builder last fall, were developed by AWS Training and Certification to help organizations’ IT professionals gain the necessary skills to solve real-world business problems in the cloud era.
According to the company, AWS Skill Builder Individual subscription provides learners with new hands-on training they need to and keep pace with cloud innovations. This subscription includes several new ways to help learners prepare for exams.
Here is how AWS describes those training offerings:
- AWS Certification Exam Prep: AWS Certification Official Practice exams are full-length practice exams to help you to evaluate your exam readiness, with the same style, depth, rigor, and scoring as AWS Certification exams. Exam preparation course includes a review of technical content, practice questions, lab exercises, and access to the AWS Certification Official Practice Exams.
- AWS Cloud Quest: A role-based game where the player’s mission is to help citizens of a virtual city by learning and building cloud solutions for their challenges. As the player moves around the city completing assigned tasks, they learn AWS services and earn rewards that help transform the city. The subscription includes three new Cloud Quest roles: Solutions Architect, Serverless Developer, and Machine Learning Specialist.
- AWS Builder Labs: With more than 100 labs to choose from, learners develop practical skills to common cloud scenarios through hands-on and guided exercises in a live AWS environment, without risk of disruptions or unanticipated expenses.
- AWS Jam Journeys: Learners are given clues to guide their use of AWS services to solve real-world, open-ended problems related to security.
Meanwhile, Team subscriptions give organizations those experiences for teams of at least 50 in a single transaction, offering administrator functionality to assign training and access built-in reports to monitor course progress.
