AWS Certification Roadmap
Find Your AWS Certification Path
Students often do not know which AWS certification to pursue, whether they should start at Foundation, Associate or Professional level, what prerequisites they need, or which certifications align with particular career paths. The Roadmap Session addresses this.
What is a Roadmap Session?
A Roadmap Session is a 60–90 minute session delivered on campus, in which an OCU Academy practitioner walks a cohort through the AWS certification landscape and helps each student identify the path that fits them.
It is not a sales presentation and not a class. Nothing is taught from a syllabus — the session maps the AWS certification catalogue onto real career roles, sets out the prerequisites each one assumes, and sends every student away knowing which certification to start with and what to study first.
It is the entry point to AWS Certification Excellence, and institutions can request it on its own before committing to anything further.
