• Complete the Program Online in a Single Semester Our intensive, eighteen week schedule means we can complete the program in less than half a year. By offering it online, we gain the convenience of participating from our own space.

• Zero Textbook Cost There are no textbooks, course fees or software needed. As a member of the AWS Academy, all learning materials, activities, and course badges are provided free of cost on the Canvas Learning Management system, making it easy to access in a web browser from the convenience of your own laptop or personal computer. No installations, no paperwork, no problem!

• Learn Through Scheduled Modules Students find they have the greatest success when they engage with the program regularly. Attending the weekly meetings online, engaging several times a week with the course materials, and submitting assignments at the end of the week can ensure that we have time to learn and grow as professionals. 

• Badges, Certificates, and Certification: When we complete the AWS Academy courses, we automatically qualify for course badges from Credly, which we can then post on LinkedIn and other social media. Completing all courses in the program then qualifies us for the SDCCD program certificate, which we can easily share with employers and others. Also, when we complete a course in the AWS Academy, we can qualify for discount vouchers (50%) from the AWS Emerging Talent Community through AWS Educate, which can then be used towards our certification, saving us money on an invaluable resource! 

• We learn in a community of our peers: We are not a self-paced course. By meeting and working together in weekly Online Live Sessions hosted on the Zoom video conferencing platform, we grow our understanding through scenarios, table-top exercises, and discussion questions.

• To register for the program: Our program is offered by the San Diego College of Continuing Education, a non-credit adult education college. To register, you must be an enrolled student. Click here to learn how to enroll and register>>
