Internet2 is convening a multi-campus cohort to lead participants through training for the AWS Solutions Architect Certification. The cohort will leverage training materials from Cloud Academy and will be led by Sharif Nijim Assistant Teaching Professor, IT, Analytics and Operations at the University of Notre Dame.

Participants can expect to commit roughly 5-7 hours a week over nine weeks and will be expected to attend and participate in cohort activities, including a weekly call.

The full cost of the program, including the use of the Cloud Academy licenses but not including the cost of the certification exam is as follows.

- NET+ AWS subscriber institutions: $500/person
- Internet2 members who are not NET+ AWS subscribers: $650/person
- Other institutions: $750/person

- Dates: TBD. Amazon is changing the test at the end of August. We are waiting for revised curriculum. As soon as we have that, we will set dates and notify registrants.

Sign up for the program is first-come-first-served, with a priority given to having as many institutions participate in each cohort as possible. Organizations can sign up multiple attendees.
