Cloud & DevOps Engineer

The upfront fee is R 42 850 (15% off base price). We have 2 payment options: upfront payment or financing through our partner Manati.

The bootcamp runs over 7 months (30 weeks), broken down into weekly and daily tasks for you to complete.

The bootcamp is project-based rather than test-based, but it does include two AWS certification exams, the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (sat in Month 6) and the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (sat in Month 7 or shortly after graduation). Both exam fees are covered by your tuition. To qualify for the second certification and its dedicated exam prep sprint in Weeks 29–30, students must achieve a final course mark of at least 65%, submit at least 70% of Google Classroom assignments on time (within 48 hours of the deadline), and achieve an average of 70% or above on submitted assignments. Students who do not meet the criteria still graduate with the Cloud Practitioner certification, the Zaio completion certificate, capstone project, and career services.

You'll have multiple layers of support throughout the bootcamp. You'll have access to a dedicated tutor who you can book 1-on-1 support hours with for personal guidance on assignments, code reviews, and career questions. On top of that, you'll be enrolled in our Discord community channel where you'll gain direct access to instructors, tutors, and your fellow classmates for real-time answers to quicker questions.

Our philosophy is that anyone can code as long as they can decide to wear something warm on a cold day. You do not require any previous coding experience, the first month covers Python from the very beginning, and the course is designed for absolute beginners.

We provide you with feedback throughout the bootcamp and you'll have the opportunity to book one-on-one sessions with the head tutor should you feel you are struggling. To qualify for the second AWS certification (Solutions Architect Associate) and its Weeks 29–30 prep sprint, students need to achieve a final course mark of at least 65%, submit at least 70% of Google Classroom assignments on time (within 48 hours of the deadline), and average 70% or above on those submitted assignments.

Yes, you will have access to all material for the next 12 months.

Due to the competitive nature of hiring for cloud roles, we do not guarantee placement, there are many mitigating circumstances. What we will do is provide you with the support, skills, and certifications to be best prepared for the interview.

Yes, you'll receive a Zaio completion certificate plus your two AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate). You will also be invited to attend a virtual graduation ceremony.

Most cloud bootcamps teach AWS services in isolation, you leave able to click through the console but unable to build the applications you're supposed to deploy. Our program spends the first four months teaching you to build and run real applications, then takes those same applications through Linux servers, Docker, AWS, and full automation with Terraform and CI/CD. You graduate understanding every layer of the stack, not just the top one, and prepared for both Cloud Engineer and DevOps Engineer job titles.

No prior AWS experience is required. The course is designed to teach cloud concepts from the ground up. In fact, we deliberately spend the first four months on programming and application fundamentals before touching AWS, because you can't meaningfully deploy something to the cloud if you've never built or run it yourself.

Yes. From Month 5 onward, everything you build gets deployed on real infrastructure, first on Linux servers, then on AWS. By graduation, you will have a live production application running on AWS, fully automated with Terraform and CI/CD, that you can show any interviewer.

Two globally recognised AWS certifications: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02), sat at end of Month 6; and AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03), sat at end of Month 7 or shortly after graduation. Both exam fees are included in your tuition.
