About this course.

Cloud skills are now expected well beyond engineering teams. This bootcamp gives you a clear, practical understanding of Amazon Web Services: what the main services do, how security responsibilities are shared, and how pricing works, so you can take part in cloud decisions with confidence.

Who it is for

Professionals in technical, project, sales or finance roles who work with cloud teams, and anyone preparing for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam.

How it is structured

Lessons unlock in order, because each one builds on the last. You will finish with a short quiz and a design project: a simple, costed architecture for a web application, reviewed by your instructor.

Exam preparation

The programme covers the exam's four domains: cloud concepts, security and compliance, technology and services, and billing and pricing. The exam itself is booked separately with AWS.

Questions about enrolling.

How long can I access this course?

You can access the course for 365 days from the day you enrol.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Your card, UPI or bank details go straight to Razorpay. Walnut Data Tech never sees or stores them.

When do I get access?

Immediately after the payment is confirmed. You'll also get a receipt by email.

What if the payment fails but money is deducted?

This is usually a delay at the bank. If the payment is confirmed, you're enrolled automatically. If not, the bank reverses the amount, normally within 5–7 working days. Contact support with your receipt number if you need help.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if you ask within 7 days of purchase and have completed less than 20% of the course. Raise a ticket from the help desk with your receipt number.
