FAQ

What does the Free plan include?

With the Free plan, you get access to all IDE-based projects, as well as video courses, progress tracking, and certificates. Hands-on AWS Labs unlock with a PRO subscription.

Is there anything I should know before starting a Skill Path?

A basic understanding of Python is recommended, and we offer free intros for Python and JavaScript to help you get started. Additionally, the Skill Paths are designed for learners who are already somewhat familiar with AWS, meaning they are able to navigate the console and they understand core services like EC2 and S3.

Do I need an AWS account?

When you get started with Labs, a prepaid sandbox account is created for you, so you don’t need your own AWS account. On the Free plan, you can use the AWS Free Tier, but this means you will need to create and configure your own AWS account.

Will I get a certificate upon completing a Skill Path?

Yes, certificates are available to both Free and PRO subscribers.
