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.

  • How can my company or organization schedule a private group training OR an AWS custom-designed training?

    Simply send a request to our international team at international@aws.org detailing what training program you are interested in (for a private, group training program that is listed on our site) OR share your needs for an AWS custom-designed training program to meet your needs.

  • 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. Whereas, Assessment-based Certificate Programs focus on education/training with assessment(s) used to confirm participants have achieved the intended learning outcomes.  

    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.

  • What is the difference between an AWS Assessment-based exam and a Performance-based Qualification exam?

    An AWS Assessment-based is an exam evaluating your knowledge based on the training just received.  An AWS Performance-based Qualification is an exam evaluating your ability to demonstrate the skillset. It’s performance based vs knowledge based.

  • How do individuals get registered for a private group and/or custom designed training?

    Currently private group and custom-designed training programs are exclusive to companies, organizations and government agencies.
