The Amazon Web Services (AWS) re/Start programme is a full-time, classroom-based skills development and training programme run in collaboration with Amazon Web Services that prepares individuals living within Greater London for careers in the cloud and connects them to potential employers.
This course is delivered in partnership with Code Institute and you will need to register your interest with them and complete their Coding Challenge before enrolling with us.

As part of the interview process, you will be required to complete a short, 15-20 minute programming assessment, along with assessments for English, maths and wider digital skills, designed to help us better understand your current level, so please ensure you are prepared to complete these during your interview session.
