Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an AWS International custom-designed and private, group training?
The AWS Custom Training Program is a tailored training solution designed to meet the specific skill development and certification needs of an organization, rather than using a standard, one-size-fits-all curriculum.
It allows companies and organizations to work directly with Subject Matter Experts (SME) to modify course content, delivery methods (such as on-site or virtual), and learning objectives to address unique operational challenges, or industry standards, ultimately enhancing workforce competency and compliance.

What is the difference between an AWS Certification and an Assessment-based Certificate?
AWS Certification programs focus on assessments conducted by its program that are independent of a specific class, course, education/training program, and of any provider of classes, courses, or programs.

The assessments associated with certifications are not designed to evaluate accomplishments of the intended learning outcomes of a specific class, course, or other education/training program or event, and the certifier is not the sole provider of any education or training that may be required for its certification. Where the Assessment-based Certificate program is based on specific training and its learning outcomes.
