Questions answered

Before you apply.

Do I need experience to join?

Yes. This programme assumes you already run AWS infrastructure. Join Beginner if you have completed AWS Cloud Engineering Intermediate or can pass a placement test on VPCs, load balancing, RDS and CloudFormation.

Start with Beginner if you can already design and manage AWS network infrastructure and want to automate, containerise and ship it with CI/CD. Join Advanced once you are comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD and want to run multi-account, enterprise-scale cloud environments. Admissions can give you a short placement test if you are unsure.

Beginner is 3 months at ₦400,000. Advanced is 6 months at ₦650,000.

After Beginner you can containerise applications with Docker, orchestrate them with Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, and ship them through a CI/CD pipeline with infrastructure defined in Terraform. After Advanced you can design and govern multi-account AWS environments with automated security, compliance and cost control.

No. You practice in MEL-managed AWS lab accounts with billing alerts and usage limits, so you can focus on learning without worrying about cloud charges.

Yes. Beginner aligns with AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate, and Advanced works toward AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional. Certification exam fees are separate from MEL training fees, and we help you prepare for the exam.

Working knowledge of AWS networking, EC2, S3, IAM and RDS, and a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM (16GB preferred) so you can comfortably run labs.

Yes. You receive a MEL Technologies certificate of completion when you finish a level, separate from any AWS certification you choose to sit for.

Classes are live and instructor-led, taught by certified, experienced trainers, with real hands-on AWS labs rather than slides alone. You are assessed through quizzes, labs and a capstone project you demo live.
