General

Open all

AWS Skills Center offers free, in-person classes and experiences designed for anyone in the Cape Town community who is curious about cloud computing and future career possibilities in the cloud—no technology background necessary. It also features a Cloud Discovery Space with interactive exhibits showcasing robotics, space, machine learning, gaming, and smart home technology to help inspire additional learning.

The primary purpose of the foundational learning experiences available at AWS Skills Centers is to guide learners towards outcomes like becoming an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, building introductory-level, solutions-specific cloud skills, or discovering other AWS Training and Certification program offerings. These are critical steps to set learners up as future builders and cloud employees.

Yes. Visiting AWS Skills Center is free, as are the foundational classes offered. There may be opportunities for organizations to book the space for events. Please reach out to aws-skills-center-capetown@haqm.com.
