Frequently asked questions

How long is Cloud Computing Foundations?

Cloud Computing Foundations runs over 3 Months and covers 3 modules. Lessons open as soon as you are accepted, so you work through them at your own pace inside that window.

By the end you will be able to: Explain cloud concepts: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, regions; Use free tiers to run real workloads; Deploy a website and a small backend; and Think about cost, security, and reliability. Every module is built around work you can show, not recall alone.

Do I need any experience to start?

How much does it cost, and what is the scholarship?

Teki-SL runs these programmes on scholarship. Applying costs nothing, and a learner we accept pays no tuition and signs no income-share agreement. Places are limited, so not every applicant is awarded one; if you are not selected you can apply again for the next intake, and the free guides, cheatsheets and practice tools stay open to you either way.
