Cloud Academy’s all-in-one solution combines 40,000+ hours of learning with 1000+ hands on labs, covering major cloud technologies like AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle and made available alongside content covering programming, DevOps, security, AI, and more – all under one license.

Reason 2:

Unrivaled Customer Success and Support

Cloud Academy makes every moment with you count. Our guided implementation and ongoing success and support services ensure you have the right partner in place to reach your learning goals. We listen to your challenges and make sure you know how to take advantage of all our key features. That gives you the ability to leverage our tech training platform to upskills at scale (and gain more ROI on your cloud investment).

Reason 3:

THE SMARTEST WAY TO CLOSE TECH SKILLS GAP AT SCALE

Cloud Academy’s AI-assisted training solution enables relevant, personalized upskilling at scale on leading clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Alibaba), essential methodologies needed to operate on and between clouds (DevOps, FinOps, security), and capabilities that are unlocked by the cloud (AI, machine learning, data analytics). Customers achieve up to 7x greater training completion than traditional e-learning through hands-on labs, enterprise-grade customization, and skill-based analytics.

Russell Glencross

IS Talent & Development Lead at Baillie Gifford

“The content within Cloud Academy has been enthusiastically received by our IT Professionals and Application Developers. Many of them have used the platform to not only arm themselves with the knowledge and skills required to tackle projects within our infrastructure, but to also prepare for the successful attainment of professional qualifications through vendors such as Microsoft.”

Clive Roberts

Head of Change and Release Management at AXA XL

“We chose Cloud Academy because it was important for us to partner with a company that can support us on the journey, not just provide content. Any platform can provide you with the raw material, but we wanted a partner who could advise us on it and take us through all the steps.”

Marcel Malan

General Manager and Head of Group IT Operations at AIA

“Cloud Academy is a critical part of instilling a learning culture in our technology talent across AIA’s while building the in-house capabilities to leverage and enhance our investment in Cloud.”
