Common Questions
Your questions about the self-paced program, answered
How does self-paced learning work?
You get immediate access to all course materials and can progress at your own pace. Most students study 5-10 hours per week and complete in 3-6 months, but you can take as long as you need.
What's the difference between self-paced and cohort?
Self-paced provides lifetime access and flexible learning. The cohort program adds live coaching, structured group projects, and direct mentorship. Choose self-paced for flexibility, cohort for accountability.
Do I need any prior experience?
No prior cloud or programming experience is required. We start from fundamentals and build up. If you can use a computer comfortably, you can learn cloud engineering with our program.
How long does it take to complete?
Most students complete in 3-6 months studying 5-10 hours/week. You have lifetime access so you can take as long as you need. Some finish in 8 weeks, others spread it over a year.
What if I need help?
You'll have access to our private community where you can ask questions and get support from instructors and fellow students. We typically respond within 24 hours.
Are there updates to the content?
Yes! Cloud technologies evolve rapidly, and we regularly update our curriculum. With lifetime access, you'll always have the most up-to-date content.
What technology do I need?
A standard computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with internet access. All heavy computation is done in the cloud. We provide guidance on setting up your free-tier AWS account.
