AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) Training for Partners


Learn how to accelerate cloud-powered digital transformation


About the event

Organizations across the globe are digitally transforming. They are leveraging digital technologies to drive organizational change that allows them to adapt to changing market conditions, delight their customers, and accelerate their business outcomes. As technological innovation continues to accelerate, customers rely on AWS Partners to help them succeed in their digital transformation.

The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) is designed to help you build and implement a comprehensive plan for your digital transformation that takes advantage of AWS best practices and lessons learned from thousands of customer engagements.

Understanding how to use the AWS CAF will help you:

 Identify and prioritize transformation opportunities

 Evaluate and improve cloud readiness, and

 Iteratively evolve customer transformation roadmaps.

Join us for this complimentary 2-week training program and learn how to influence customer decision makers with an AWS CAF envisioning and alignment workshop. You'll also earn our AWS Partner: Sales Accreditation that covers basic concepts of cloud services, how to articulate the AWS business value, and how to co-sell with AWS. 

Training starts on Tuesday, September 19.

This non-technical training program was designed for AWS Partners in sales and technical pre-sales roles. 

Recommended prerequisites: 

• A foundational-level understanding of cloud computing concepts
• One year of experience working with cloud technology
• A minimum commitment of 13 hours across 2 weeks.


Program Overview
