The best part is, with Monarch Institute, ‘online’ doesn’t mean ‘alone’. You’ll be backed by our trainers at every step along the way.

What support will I get?

Your trainer will be happy to contact you via phone, Teams, or email (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm). So you definitely won’t feel alone. You’ll also have access to our student Facebook groups, so you can discuss the material with other students. It’s a handy way to stay in touch with trainers and others in the same course.

The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course includes several assessments to gauge your understanding and reinforce learning.

These assessments come in various forms, such as:

• Knowledge Checks

  : After each module, there are multiple-choice questions or knowledge checks to test your grasp of the material covered.

• Lab Exercises

  : Practical, hands-on labs allow you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios. Successfully completing these labs can demonstrate your ability to use AWS services effectively.

These assessments ensure that you not only learn the material but also can apply it practically, which is essential for a career in cloud computing.
