AWS Cloud Practitioner Training Overview
This AWS Cloud Practitioner training provides a complete introduction to the Amazon Web Services ecosystem. Designed for any professional wishing to understand the fundamentals of the AWS cloud, it covers all the essential concepts: global infrastructure, core services, security, architecture and pricing models.
Over this one-day course, you will learn to identify the advantages of the cloud over traditional solutions, navigate the AWS console and understand how key services work, such as compute (EC2), storage (S3), databases (RDS, DynamoDB) and networking (VPC). You will also explore the built-in security mechanisms and the AWS shared responsibility model.
The programme covers cloud architecture principles based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, the available support plans and the cost-management tools. Hands-on exercises will let you work directly in the AWS console and consolidate each concept covered.
This training is excellent preparation for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certification and lays the foundations needed to progress to more advanced paths such as Solutions Architect or SysOps Administrator. Also discover our AWS Generative AI Application Development with Amazon Bedrock Training, our AWS FinOps Training – AWS Cloud Financial Management, and our AWS Essential Services Training – S3, EC2, Lambda, RDS and EKS.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
The AWS Cloud Practitioner training can also be delivered on your premises and the content tailored to your needs. The programme alternates theory and hands-on practice (around 60%), with exercises carried out directly in the AWS console.
GOOD TO KNOW
Our sessions are guaranteed from a single registrant (except in cases of force majeure).
A preliminary discussion takes place with the participant and/or a company contact to fully take into account the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment: during the training, the trainer assesses participants’ progress through quizzes, scenarios and hands-on exercises. Participants receive a certificate of validated skills at the end of the training.

FAQ – AWS Cloud Practitioner Training
What is the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification?
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is the entry-level certification from Amazon Web Services. It validates an overall understanding of the AWS cloud: core services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, etc.), pricing models, shared security and best practices. At MFE-IT, this training prepares you effectively for the CLF-C02 exam.
What is the difference between Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate?
Cloud Practitioner is a general, non-technical certification, ideal for all profiles. Solutions Architect Associate is far more technical and focused on designing cloud architectures. MFE-IT offers a coherent path: CLF-C02 to get started, then SAA-C03 / SysOps / Developer depending on your role.
Are technical prerequisites required for Cloud Practitioner?
No, there are no mandatory prerequisites. General IT awareness is useful, but the MFE-IT training is designed for decision-makers, sales profiles, project managers, consultants and newcomers to the AWS cloud.
How long is the AWS Cloud Practitioner training at MFE-IT?
The training lasts 1 day (7 hours), remote or on-site. A condensed format focused on understanding and preparing for the CLF-C02 exam.
