Solving a Need

The National Cloud Technologists Association and the CloudMASTER® program were born in 2012 out of a genuine need for hands-on, vendor-neutral public cloud training. Before creating the NCTA, CEO Richard Schatzberg had a team in need of cloud training but could find no viable solution to teach the practical skills necessary to manage cloud services.

Vendor-Neutral Approach

Having a team with little cloud expertise is not uncommon. In fact, lack of resources is the number one challenge organizations that have adopted cloud solutions face. As cloud adoption accelerates, so, too, does the need for related skills. But with so many different vendors, it can be difficult to determine what training is most relevant and necessary since most training and certification is vendor-specific.

Practical Application

Unlike other cloud programs, CloudMASTER® training and certification reflects a portfolio of skills related to the leading public cloud service providers through practical activities and lab exercises. Through the three components of CloudMASTER®, students learn and are able to demonstrate their ability to use common SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, Puppet, Chef, and more.

Certified Cloud Technologist

An overview of cloud computing which helps develop a deep understanding of common public cloud technologies and the benefits and trends that push organizations to transition their data to the cloud. You will receive multiple points of view, first-hand experience and a foundation in managing industry-leading cloud services like Amazon Web Services, Drupal, Wordpress, and Google Docs.
