Course Overview

Most organizations are running on AWS. Most of the people working within those organizations project managers, business analysts, product owners, finance teams don’t fully understand what that means, what it costs, or how the architecture decisions being made around them affect the work they’re responsible for. The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification exists to close that gap, giving non-technical professionals the cloud literacy to contribute meaningfully to AWS projects without needing to become engineers.

This AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner program covers core AWS services, cloud architecture principles, pricing and billing models, and security fundamentals across a foundational, non-technical course format built for business professionals. It sits within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio alongside electrical inspector training and other tech certifications, bringing the same accessible, exam-aligned approach to AWS cloud fundamentals that we apply across our technology and professional development programs. This course prepares participants for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam, which AWS administers the certification examination directly.

 Whether you’re a business professional wanting to work more confidently on AWS projects or a career changer building a foundational cloud credential, this program gives you the AWS cloud concepts and exam readiness that the entry-level cloud certification pathway requires.

  • Outline

Course Outline

Day 1: AWS Cloud Fundamentals and Core Services

  • Covers the foundational AWS cloud concepts that the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam tests: what cloud computing is, the different cloud deployment models, the core benefits of AWS infrastructure, and how the shared responsibility
  • Introduces core AWS service categories across compute, including EC2 and Lambda; storage, including S3 and EBS; networking, including VPC and Route 53; and database services, including RDS and DynamoDB, building the service vocabulary that AWS Cloud Practitioner certification requires and that project participation in AWS environments demands
  • Real AWS adoption examples show where professionals without foundational AWS cloud knowledge consistently struggled to contribute to architecture discussions, budget conversations, and project decisions that assumed basic cloud computing fluency

Day 2: AWS Pricing, Billing, and Cost Management

  • Covers AWS pricing models across on-demand, reserved, spot, and savings plan pricing; how each model works, what workload characteristics make each one appropriate, and how AWS pricing decisions made at the project level affect the total cost of ownership that business stakeholders are accountable for
  • Introduces AWS billing and cost management tools, including AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, and the pricing calculator; how to use each tool to understand current spend, forecast future costs, and identify cost optimization opportunities across an AWS environment
  • Attendees work through AWS pricing comparison exercises across realistic workload scenarios, developing the cost analysis competency that AWS Cloud Practitioner exam billing questions test and that business roles in cloud environments require to participate meaningfully in cost management discussions

Day 3: AWS Architecture, Cloud Adoption, and Exam Preparation

  • Covers the AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars at a conceptual level: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability, and what each pillar means for how AWS environments should be designed and evaluated
  • Introduces the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework and the organizational journey that cloud migration represents: the readiness assessment, migration strategy, and adoption governance concepts that business professionals supporting cloud programs need to understand alongside the technical implementation work their engineering colleagues are performing
  • Attendees complete a full timed AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner practice examination with structured performance analysis identifying domain-specific knowledge gaps, with direct instructor feedback on AWS fundamentals training content areas requiring additional review before the actual certification examination

Certification

Attendees receive a certificate of completion issued by GII Corporate & Industrial Training Center. This course prepares participants for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam that AWS administers and awards that certification separately upon passing their examination. In-house training is available for organizations building AWS cloud literacy across non-technical business and operations teams. Contact us now for upcoming dates across our training portfolio.

  • Case Study

Case Study Example

A financial services organization had migrated its core infrastructure to AWS over eighteen months but found that business stakeholders finance managers, project owners, and product leads were consistently excluded from cloud governance and cost management discussions because they lacked the foundational AWS knowledge to engage meaningfully. Cloud spend was increasing faster than forecast, and nobody outside the engineering team had the vocabulary or conceptual understanding to challenge assumptions or contribute to optimization decisions. After key business stakeholders completed this AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Training program, cloud cost reviews began including meaningful business participation, reserved instance decisions were made with finance input that engineering alone hadn’t been applying, and three team members passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification examination within six weeks of completing the program.
