Navigating the tech landscape without a traditional computer science background has been a challenging, yet rewarding, journey. Approximately two years ago, I was preparing to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam. In this blog, I’ll share my non-traditional journey into a career in tech and how this path led me to explore the world of machine learning (ML), including advice and resources for those wanting to make the leap.

In January, we launched 24 new digital training products on AWS Skill Builder, including three new learning plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and a Solutions Architect-focused version of AWS Card Clash.

To learn DevOps-style best practices for building, training, and deploying ML models, check out the updated three-day AWS Classroom course, MLOps Engineering on AWS.

Available now on Coursera, the AWS Cloud Consultant Professional Certificate is a holistic, nine-course program that will take an aspiring professional with little or no technical knowledge and provide them with the skills, knowledge, and context to understand the what, why, and how to become a successful AWS Cloud Consultant. Learn all about the courses and start your journey today.

Imagine diving into the incredible world of artificial intelligence (AI), where anyone can become a generative AI builder. The journey begins with a curious mindset and an openness to the world of AI. This blog is your guide to transforming from a curious beginner to a proficient generative AI builder using AWS.

Dive into our 21 new digital training products on AWS Skill Builder, including seven new game-based and interactive trainings and certification preparation courses to help you build AWS Cloud expertise, from AWS Industry Quest: Manufacturing and Automotive, AWS Card Clash, to the new AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam prep resource, AWS Escape Room. You can also recertify for your AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner by playing the beta AWS Cloud Quest: Cloud Practitioner Recertify – no need to take an exam. We also have four new learning plans with digital badges to guide your knowledge-building, and for executives, we’ve added cloud education for Chief Human Resource Officers and for executives wanting to build their security know-how.

To meet the generative AI training needs, AWS Training and Certification has launched courses focused on the decision maker, data scientist, and the developer personas.

This year at AWS re:Invent 2023, we are launching the AWS Observability Hub, which will display LIVE Amazon CloudWatch dashboards showing some of the Observability we care about from the AWS Builder Labs experience, from a business, developer, and support perspective. Come see it in action at the Mandalay Bay.
