Meet your instructor
Taught by a GRC guy turned cloud security engineer
Hey guys, this is Bruce, in 2024 I started studying hard on cloud stuff. I decided to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. I created projects like this to help me really understand. As a result, I have been able to get more than one position as a cloud security engineer. Now I want to help you take the same journey.
This AWS Cloud Practitioner Project 1 is exactly the course I wish I’d had before my first cloud internship — focused, practical, and built around a single, impressive project you can confidently present to recruiters.

Is this course right for me if I have zero AWS or coding experience?
Yes. This AWS Cloud Practitioner Project 1 is designed specifically for students and beginners. We start with what the cloud is, why AWS exists, and how to use the console. You do not need prior AWS or programming experience — just basic computer literacy and curiosity.
Will this course alone be enough to pass the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam?
For most students, yes — if you complete all modules, build the project, and go through the included practice questions. We also provide a study schedule template. However, we still recommend reading the official AWS exam guide and whitepapers for extra depth, especially if this is your very first tech certification.
How much time should I expect to spend each week?
Most students finish the course and project in 4 weeks by spending 4–6 hours per week. If your semester is busy, you can move slower — you have lifetime access to all recordings, materials, and updates.
Do I need an AWS account? Will I be charged by AWS?
Yes, you will create your own AWS account (we walk you through it step by step). The project is designed to stay within the AWS Free Tier for typical student usage. We also show you how to set budget alerts and shut everything down safely when you are done.
Is there any live support if I get stuck?
Absolutely. You’ll get access to our private student Discord where you can ask questions, share screenshots, and get help from the instructor and community. Career Launch Bundle students also get a 1:1 portfolio review call.
Get AWS Cloud Practitioner-ready — and launch your first real cloud project.
