Hi, this approach seems very interesting but different from what I have seen from KZbin. For example, you didn't mention any certification like Azure,AwS, etc. Can you please clarify this? Also, how long approximately does it take to complete the program on your platform? Thank you

Thanks for your question. It’s a good one. I am not against certs, but specifically I am not a huge fan of certs either. Specifically not a huge fan of certs that are largely MCQs and have no practical component to it (except Kubernetes) Our platform is a continuous learning platform. So there’s no real “finishing it” but to get a decent competence in each cloud env I feel it can be done in 16 hours

I want to become cloud security engineering, but I lack a degree or IT background. Would it be beneficial for me to first pursue a role in cybersecurity engineering as a way to achieve cloud security engineer. I'd appreciate some guidance on the best path forward given my circumstances. Thank you for your help.

This is Abhay here. I am a commerce graduate and don’t have an IT degree. What I suggest to anyone (regardless of degree) is that you need to learn how to build some apps (nothing major), understand programming and learn how to deploy these apps. Once you go 2 out of 3 of these things, you can easily start scaling your learning of cloud. You can do it!

@@AppSecEngineer thank you for your guidance, sir.
