This course can be studied full-time over 1 year, achieving a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Cloud Computing qualification, or over 2 years, achieving a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Cloud Computing qualification. The purpose of the HNC and HND qualifications is to equip students with cloud computing skills, knowledge and the understanding necessary to be job ready in the cloud computing field. The HNC and HND course content is closely aligned with the needs of employers, professional bodies, vendors and higher education for a skilled future workforce with a range of modules to cater for a range of progression plans. The courses are awarded by Pearson UK and developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services Educate. The HNC qualification has been aligned with the Cloud Practitioner Certification from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Cloud Support Associate job role. The HND qualification includes foundational content which can help students to prepare for both the AWS Certified Solutions Architect and the AWS Certified Developer exams at Associate Level. Students completing the HNC/D Cloud Computing course may go on to employment in the cloud computing field or progress to a final year at university.
