Institutions and partners from OCU Academy's engagement record. This reflects engagement history, not exclusive Academic Alliance membership.
02—The Premise
There's a persistent gap between what's taught and what's practiced. OCU Academy exists to close it — not by replacing academic institutions, but by giving them an industry-led bridge.

03—Courses
Certification tracks and practitioner courses institutions can request for their students.

The entry point to AWS. Core cloud concepts, the global infrastructure, the main service families, and how billing, security and shared responsibility actually work.

The working engineer's track. Designing and building on AWS — compute, storage, networking, databases and identity — with the trade-offs that come up in real architectures.

How software actually reaches production: version control discipline, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, containers, and the monitoring that tells you whether any of it is working.

Why teams work in iterations, and what the ceremonies are actually for. Sprints, backlogs, estimation, retrospectives — and the failure modes each one is meant to prevent.

Institution Story
The sessions OCU Academy ran with our students brought current, practical cloud experience alongside their coursework. It is the kind of industry collaboration our programs benefit from.

Our partnership with OCU Academy opens a clear route for Sunway students into cloud skills and certification alongside their degree. It adds an industry dimension to what we already teach.
Khushal RegmiDirector, Sunway College KathmanduStudent Story
I studied for the Solutions Architect Associate at OCU Academy and passed it. Having the material laid out in order, with people who work on AWS to ask, made the difference.
Aakriti DahalAWS Certified Solutions Architect – AssociateStudent Story
I joined OCU Academy to prepare properly rather than piece it together on my own. Having a set order to work through, and people on hand who use AWS day to day, keeps me moving.
