Start with Basic if you are new to cloud computing. Join Intermediate if you already understand AWS fundamentals, EC2, S3 and IAM and want to build and scale real network infrastructure. Join Advanced if you are comfortable with VPCs, load balancing and CloudFormation and want to automate infrastructure, containers and CI/CD pipelines. Admissions can give you a short placement test if you are unsure.

Basic is 2 months at ₦200,000. Intermediate is 3 months at ₦300,000. Advanced is 3 months at ₦400,000.

After Basic you can deploy and manage basic AWS resources such as EC2 and S3, and host a live website. After Intermediate you can design, build, monitor and maintain production-style AWS network infrastructure. After Advanced you can automate infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation, containerise and orchestrate applications with Docker and Kubernetes, and build a working CI/CD pipeline.

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. Basic aligns with AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Intermediate with AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, and Advanced with AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate. Certification exam fees are separate from MEL training fees, and we help you prepare for the exam.

Basic computer literacy and a laptop, ideally with at least 8GB of RAM (16GB preferred) so you can comfortably run labs. A basic understanding of networking is an advantage but not required for Basic.

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.
