AWS Courses and Certifications in Australia

AWS training courses teach cloud-infrastructure, deployment, storage, security, networking, and administration skills for supporting scalable infrastructure and day-to-day business operations.

Amazon Web Services is the most widely used cloud platform in the world, and AWS skills are among the most sought after in the Australian IT job market. Logitrain delivers instructor-led AWS training in Australia for everyone from complete cloud beginners through to experienced engineers moving into architect and operations roles. Our training is practical and hands-on, built around real AWS environments rather than slides, so you finish the course able to design, deploy and manage workloads on the platform with confidence.

Each course is aligned to the current official AWS certification exam, which means the time you spend with us prepares you for both the exam and the day-to-day work that Australian employers expect from certified cloud professionals. Our AWS courses cover the full pathway, from the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner foundation through to the Solutions Architect Associate, SysOps Administrator and Developer certifications, along with specialty cloud computing courses for those going deeper.

The AWS Certification Pathway

AWS groups its certifications into four levels. Here is how they fit together, and where to start.

Foundational

The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Course is the entry point and assumes no technical background, so it suits people new to the cloud and those in sales, project or management roles who work alongside technical teams. The newer AWS Certified AI Practitioner sits at the same level for those focused on artificial intelligence.

Associate

The associate certifications are the working level most people aim for. The Solutions Architect Associate Course is the most popular, covering how to design solutions on AWS. The Developer Associate suits people building applications, the AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate Course suits those running and operating workloads, and the newer Data Engineer Associate and Machine Learning Engineer Associate cover data and AI roles.

Professional

The professional certifications are for experienced practitioners. The Solutions Architect Professional and the DevOps Engineer Professional are the two at this level, and both assume solid hands on AWS experience.

Specialty

The specialty certifications go deep in one area, currently Advanced Networking, Machine Learning and Security. These suit people who already work in AWS and want to prove depth in a particular field.

AWS Courses Online and Across Australia

You can study AWS with Logitrain in the classroom in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, live online in real time from anywhere in Australia, or in house at your workplace. Live online students join the same class as the room and complete the hands on AWS labs in real time, rather than watching a recording. Classes run full time over consecutive days, or part time across a few weeks, so you can train around your job. We also deliver AWS training to Adelaide, Perth and Canberra by live online and on request, so your location does not limit your options.

Which AWS Course Should You Start With

If you are new to the cloud, start with the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, since it needs no prior experience and gives you the language and concepts the rest of the certifications build on. If you already work in IT, move to the associate certification that matches your role, Solutions Architect for design, Developer for building applications, or SysOps Administrator for operations. From there, the professional and specialty certifications are where you head as your experience grows. If you are not sure, tell our team what you do now and we will point you to the right starting course.

AWS Careers in Australia

Cloud skills are among the most in demand in Australian IT, and AWS is the platform employers ask for most often. Certified cloud professionals work as cloud engineers, solutions architects, DevOps engineers, cloud administrators and data engineers, across almost every industry, since most Australian organisations now run at least part of their systems in the cloud. A recognised AWS certification gives employers a clear signal that you can do the work, and it tends to lift earning power, with architect and engineer roles among the better paid in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AWS exam included in the course price?

No. AWS exams are booked separately through the official testing provider, so you sit the exam when you are ready. Our course fee covers the instructor led training, the course material and hands on lab access, and every course is backed by our price beat guarantee.

Which AWS certification should I start with?

For most people the starting point is the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, because it assumes no technical background and covers the cloud concepts the other certifications build on. If you already work in IT, you can begin with an associate certification such as Solutions Architect.

Do I need experience to start an AWS course?

Not for the Cloud Practitioner, which is designed for beginners. The associate certifications assume some hands on experience with AWS or IT, and the professional and specialty certifications are aimed at experienced practitioners.

Can I do AWS training online?

Yes. Every AWS course we run is available live online in real time, so you can join from anywhere in Australia and complete the hands on labs alongside the classroom group.

How long do AWS courses take?

It depends on the certification. The Cloud Practitioner often runs over one day, while associate certifications such as Solutions Architect usually run over three days, with part time options that spread the content across a few weeks.

Where can I do AWS training in person?

We run classroom AWS courses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. If you are in Adelaide, Perth, Canberra or a regional area, you can join the same courses live online, or ask us about in house training at your workplace.

What is the best AWS certification for getting a job?

The AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate is the most widely requested AWS certification in Australian job ads, which makes it a strong choice if a role is your goal. If you are starting from scratch, the Cloud Practitioner first and then the Solutions Architect Associate is a sensible path.
