Our AWS Virtual Classroom Trainng offers live classes with instructors who teach you in-demand cloud skills and best practices using a mix of presentations, discussion, and hands-on labs. Ask questions, work through solutions in person, and get feedback from AWS-accredited instructors with deep technical knowledge.
During most of our AWS Courses students will work independently on servers located offsite using a variety of remote access technologies. Training is a mixture of concepts, labs and how to lectures and the day is very full. Your instructor may give you the option of working through labs in your own time (like after hours, or during a break) in order to add as much as possible to the course content.
The student will require Internet connection, a computer (either PC or Mac) running a supported browser as well as a Microsoft RDP client, and an audio connection for the duration of the class. You will be accessing ZOOM or WebEx to view the slides using your web browser, and you will be performing the class labs using an RDP connection. Most current browsers are supported except for Firefox 64-bit. Class setup information includes a link to enable the student to download the current version of the RDP client. The RDP client is required to access to remote lab equipment. The RDP client is included in all versions of Windows with the file name mstsc.exe. Once you have the RDP Client installed, you will need to test your connectivity. For this test, you will need to open the client and connect to “vdc-us04-a.vmeduc.com” or “vdc-us24-a.vmeduc.com”. Try to connect to the server using the name “vmeduc\student”, you will not be able to authenticate, but if you are prompted for a password you have successfully tested the RDP connection. If you cannot connect to the RDP server you will have to ask your security department to open port 3389, disconnect from your corporate VPN or find another place from which to attend the class. Please contact us if you need help with the RDP connection, as we will not have time to troubleshoot connectivity problems after class starts.
Customers tell us our training is outstanding because we understand the jobs you do, as well as the building blocks required to successfully implement your system. Our curriculum is designed in a specific sequence to build on subsequent concepts and develop your expertise in an organized, manageable fashion. Participants are often required to complete prerequisites so that the entire class can move forward as a group.
The AWS JAM session is an event, hosted by an Authorised AWS Instructor, where participants experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of prepared scenarios that represent common use-cases and operational tasks, such as remediation at scale, automation, forensics, incident response, AI/ ML, DevOps, compliance and many others. It is highly engaging and interactive - designed to challenge individuals across all technical skill levels.
A Jam is typically hosted after doing an AWS training course. It is hosted by one of our Authorised AWS Instructors to assist with any technical issues, to give support, guidance and encouragement its very much a journey of self-learning or team sharing and team building.
It is often comments to us that: “AWS JAM – It’s the most creative and fun way to learn and apply knowledge.”
Amazon Web Service does not require any prior expertise or understanding of programming - however it can be an advantage and acceletate your uptake of certain concepts and use cases.
In order to have the best chance of passing any exam you should attend a AWS Authorized course with an ATO such as SureSkills. To determine if a course you are considering attending is suits your needs chekc out AWS Skill Builder to find a learning plan that’s right for you.

Yes, especially if you are aiming for a specialty certification, we highly recommend earning your AWS Solution Architect – Associate certification first to ensure your foundational knowledge of basic AWS concepts. It can often take a coupel of months and 8 hours of study each week to pass the AWS Specialities.
No. Our Live Online classes are conducted in the same manner as our classroom classes, using the same manuals and lab equipment using MS Teams, ZOOM or WebEx delivery platform. Just as in our classroom classes, each online student is assigned a set of lab equipment, as required by the specific class. Most online students find the AWS training by Virtual means equivalent to or better than an in-person classroom.
Your instructor should cover what you need during the class. Prerequisite knowledge and skills are also listed in each course’s data sheet should always be considered. Useful, but not required short list here:
- Basic level knowledge of operating systems like Windows, Linux, etc.
- Basic level knowledge of Networking and Virtualization.
- Understanding or knowledge of any programming language.
- Basic level command on coding (because certain auxiliary software may need it)
- Overview of Public and Private cloud.
Note: You should make your instructor aware of any impairments before class begins on the first day (like a corporate network block for remote access). If you need other assistance, please contact the training center prior to attending the class.
