Skills You'll Master

Every Skill Maps to a Job Description

☁️

AWS Core Services

EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC — the foundational services that power the majority of enterprise cloud workloads.

🔵

Azure & GCP Fundamentals

Multi-cloud fluency — Azure AD, AKS, GKE, BigQuery — so you're never locked to one vendor in interviews or on the job.

🏗️

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Pulumi — provision and manage cloud infrastructure with code, version control, and automated pipelines.

☸️

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

From pods to production — deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications on EKS, AKS, and GKE.

🔄

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins — build the pipelines that ship code to production safely and at speed.

🔐

Cloud Security & IAM

Least-privilege IAM, VPC design, encryption, compliance — build security into infrastructure from day one.

📊

Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog — instrument infrastructure so teams know about failures before users do.

💰

FinOps & Cloud Cost Optimization

Right-sizing, reserved instances, spot fleets, tagging — reduce cloud bills by 30–60% without touching performance.

🌐

Multi-Cloud Architecture Design

Design resilient, vendor-agnostic architectures that run across AWS, Azure, and GCP with unified observability.

Curriculum

Two Pathways. Zero Fluff.

Choose between the 9-month Professional Certificate or the 12-month Post Graduate Program. Both are rigorous — the PGP goes deeper into FinOps, multi-cloud design, and SRE engineering practices used at Google and Netflix.

Student Success Stories

Outcomes from Real Graduates

★★★★★
"

I was writing Java microservices and deploying them manually. The Terraform and Kubernetes modules completely changed how I think about infrastructure. Stripe hired me as a Platform Engineer — I now own the CI/CD pipeline for their payments infrastructure and I've never felt more in my element.

I spent eight years managing on-prem Cisco networks. The SRE modules showed me how Google thinks about reliability at scale — SLOs, error budgets, blameless postmortems. Netflix hired me as an SRE and I'm now on the team that keeps streaming alive for 250 million subscribers.

FAQs

Questions We Get All the Time

Basic Linux command-line comfort is helpful but not required. The program includes a Linux foundations module in week one. If you can navigate files, run commands, and edit config files in a terminal, you're ready. We also offer a free Linux primer for students who want a head start.
The program covers all three, with AWS as the primary platform (it holds 32% of the cloud market and appears in the most job descriptions). You'll get hands-on with Azure and GCP to the depth that modern cloud roles require — enough to be credible in multi-cloud conversations and pass associate-level certifications on all three.
The PCP (9 months, $6,000) covers the full cloud and DevOps stack with one specialization — ideal for breaking into cloud engineering or platform roles. The PGP (12 months, $9,999) adds FinOps, deep SRE practices, multi-cloud architecture design, and an advanced specialization — suited for senior architect or SRE roles.
PCP at $6,000 can be paid in full or via 12-month 0% interest installments at $500/month. PGP at $9,999 can be paid in full or at $833/month. Merit-based partial scholarships are available — ask your counsellor.
Resume review, LinkedIn optimization, mock technical and system design interviews, direct referrals to 120+ US and UK hiring partners, and a dedicated career counsellor. Support continues until you receive and accept an offer.
Expect 15–20 hours per week — live weekend sessions (4–6 hrs) plus lab work and assignments (10–14 hrs). 85% of our graduates were employed full-time during the program.
Yes — 7-day no-questions-asked full refund from program start. After 7 days, we evaluate refund requests case-by-case.
Absolutely. Atlia Learning serves the US and UK markets. Sessions accommodate both time zones (Saturday morning ET / afternoon BST). UK placement partners include AWS UK, Microsoft Azure UK, GCHQ Digital & Technology, and NHS Digital — all of which have active cloud hiring programs.
