The program, module by module
Module 1 — Cloud Computing Overview
Tell IaaS, PaaS and SaaS apart to pick the right cloud service level based on the control, effort and dependency you can accept.
Module 2 — Cloud Networking
Split a VPC into public and private subnets, and restrict access with security groups so only what's needed is exposed.
Module 3 — Compute and Storage
Choose between an instance, a container, and object storage based on the need for control, portability, or file volume.
Module 4 — Managed Databases
Weigh a self-hosted database against a managed one by comparing sticker price, real operational cost, and the team's tolerance for downtime.
Module 5 — Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Describe infrastructure as code with Terraform — plan, then apply changes — to make it reproducible, traceable, and reviewable by the team.
Module 6 — Scalability and High Availability
Distribute traffic with a load balancer and configure auto-scaling to absorb a traffic spike without over-provisioning permanently.
Module 7 — Cloud Security
Apply the least-privilege principle through IAM and encrypt data at rest and in transit to secure a cloud infrastructure.
Module 8 — Costs and Optimization (FinOps)
Track over-provisioning and orphaned resources to turn a costly cloud infrastructure into a lean, documented one.
Module 9 — Professional Integration and Certification
CertificationCross-cutting module: CV/portfolio, professional brand, interview practice, and job market activation — specific to this course's real career outcomes. Triggers generation of the final certificate.

Three levels, from simplest to most demanding. Each one only claims what it actually verifies.
Attendance certificate
Earned by: Modules followed
Proves: You followed the track — no graded assessment.
Certificate of achievement
Earned by: Full track completed on the platform, final project included, and final exam passed
Proves: Your knowledge and your final project, evaluated by the platform.
Field Practice Validated distinction
Earned by: A field challenge completed after the exam, in a real situation, with evidence
Proves: A CoursTech mentor reviewed and validated a genuine real-world application.
The distinction is added to your certificate of achievement — it never replaces it: nothing off-platform ever blocks the certificate itself.
Mentor support and validation: handled on request, within 72 business hours. If no mentor is active, the distinction stays open for 12 months as planned: no learner is penalized.
Mentor sessions: limited spots, on request. Reply within 48 h.
