AWS Classes Live Online

Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For live online AWS training, we’ve found flexible scheduling options, including weekday and evening courses.

Courses with multiple scheduling options include:

• AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate @ Pragra (32 Hours) is available weekdays or evenings
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate @ Pragra (32 Hours) is available weekdays or evenings

Courses available weekdays only include:

• Cloud Computing with AWS @ Noble Desktop ($995 | 18 Hours)
• Web Development Immersive with AWS @ Code Immersives ($19,995 | 45 Weeks)

Full-time Courses

Also note, one course we’ve found requires a full-time commitment. This course is a “career-changer” course that may span over several months and probably requires 40 or more hours of work per week, whether in the classroom or out-of-class assignments and projects. Courses like these typically require a large financial commitment, although many provide payment plans and financing options.

• Web Development Immersive with AWS @ Code Immersives, spanning over 45 Weeks for $19,995

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

When learning AWS, there are a variety of learning goals you can achieve, including getting started, adding to existing skills, or embarking on a new career path.

To find the perfect fit for you, it’s important to determine what your training goals are. Here is a breakdown of the variety of courses and learners.

Committed to Getting Started

If you know you need to get started in AWS but you’re not quite committed to learning it comprehensively, these courses will get you started with hands-on skills you can use right away. Many schools offer the ability to continue learning with intermediate-to-advanced courses, and some offer package discounts. All these courses are open to beginners.

• Cloud Computing with AWS @ Noble Desktop ($995 | 18 Hours).
• Web Development Immersive with AWS @ Code Immersives ($19,995 | 45 Weeks).
• AWS Cloud Foundations @ Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training ($695 | 20 Hours).

Career Changer

You’re not only committed to learning AWS comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career. While securing a new career is not guaranteed, these courses provide in-depth training in AWS. Many offer job support and some offer a money-back guarantee. Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.

Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training. And due to the steep prices (some courses as high as $12,900) many programs provide financing options. See financing notes below but always be sure to confirm with the school and read the terms and conditions. Not all applicants are admitted and approved for financing.

Here are several “career-changer” programs. All the programs include career services (see the provider’s website for details on what is included).

Some benefits of live online AWS training include:

• Flexibility to attend from anywhere and eliminate long commutes
• Ability to ask questions and interact with AWS experts in real-time
• Instructor’s ability to remote access your screen to troubleshoot any issues
• More frequent scheduling options and lower prices on average than in-person training
• Hands-on practical training like in-person courses

While there are several benefits to live online training, there are a few important things to consider. You should make sure you have a quiet workplace with strong internet access. Additionally, you should have the necessary applications installed prior to class and your computer should meet any system requirements. To ensure a seamless learning experience, some schools provide remote setup support and Zoom tutorials upon request prior to the course.

Pricing for AWS training varies by school, duration, method of delivery, and several other factors.

For live online training, prices range from $12/hour to $140/hr.
