Don't Just Pass the Exam
Run a real client engagement — from problem statement to signed SOW to shipped solution
Anyone can sell you a cram course. In this 12-week live cohort you spend four weeks as the architect on a real client brief — gathering requirements, designing the solution, defending your proposal, drafting the SOW, and building what you sold. Plus full SAA-C03 prep, four capstones, two mock interviews and CV/LinkedIn guidance. Delivered personally by Rajesh Daswani — 95% pass rate across the enterprise cohorts I've trained, where engineers I've coached now work at PwC, Accenture, Capgemini and Hexaware.

A Real Client Engagement
Four weeks in the architect's chair: requirements, design, proposal, SOW, then build. The work real architects are paid to do — not a cram course.
Think Like an Architect
Four capstones and the design patterns behind multi-tier, containerized and serverless architectures — and the skill to defend your choices out loud.
Career-First System
Resume and LinkedIn guidance, two mock interviews, and live Saturday sessions delivered personally by Rajesh — no junior TAs.
Why most engineers struggle to land AWS roles
Exam dumps trap
Memorization fails in system design interviews - you need real architecture practice.
Can't defend a design
Passing the exam isn't the hard part — walking an interviewer through your architecture is. That's a skill you have to practise.
Disconnected roadmap
Jumping between tutorials leads to gaps and zero confidence.
No structure → procrastination
A structured 12-week programme with weekly live accountability is the difference between "someday" and "certified".
Take a Real Problem Statement from Brief to Built
Each capstone puts you in the architect's chair on a real problem statement. You run the full motion — gathering requirements, designing the solution across core AWS services (EC2, VPC, ALB, Auto Scaling, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, CloudWatch), presenting your proposal, defining scope and the statement of work, and then building it once it's approved. It's the end-to-end process real architects are paid to run — and the exact conversation interviewers put you through.
- Requirements gathering from a real problem statement
- Solution design, proposal & live defence
- Scope, SOW, then build the approved solution

Your portfolio deliverable
What you walk away with
Four capstone projects, each taken from problem statement to built solution and defended live — an interview-ready portfolio to showcase in technical screens.
3 phases. Live every Saturday. One outcome.
Foundations & Design Patterns
Work through the SAA video course, then meet live to clear doubts and drill the architecture design patterns the exam and the job both demand.
You Be The Architect
I hand you a client brief. You design the solution and defend it live. This is where confidence is built — real reps, real feedback.
Exam Ready
Focused revision, timed mock exams and final gap-closing — so you sit the real exam sharp, rehearsed and calm.
Live coaching · 2 hours
Twelve weekly live sessions with me — doubt-clearing, design patterns and the "You Be The Architect" role-plays.
Career support, built in
Two mock interviews, a resume/CV rewrite, a LinkedIn rewrite and group revision sessions — scheduled across the twelve weeks.
Throughout:
Private Slack community, plus gentle nudges to build in public on LinkedIn as you go.
Career Transformation · Beyond Certifications
Resume & LinkedIn, rewritten
Resume reads like a tutorial checklist? Invisible on LinkedIn? We rewrite both together using a cloud-role framework, so they read like an architect's — not a certificate collector's.
Mock System Design
2 live mock interviews with expert feedback. Walk into interviews with confidence, not panic.
Priority Slack Support
Ask questions any day and get priority responses, learn alongside your cohort, and get nudged to build in public on LinkedIn as you go. Plus group revision sessions to help you ace the exam.

Why learn from Rajesh?
Rajesh Daswani has spent 20+ years architecting production cloud systems and training the engineers who run them, and has written two AWS certification study guides with Packt.
This Accelerator opens the same training Rajesh has delivered to enterprise teams directly to individual engineers. The 12-week format and the 16-seat cap exist because Rajesh personally delivers every Saturday session.
From learners of my AWS courses

Gururaj Rathod
DevOps Engineer
This course is extremely well-structured and easy to follow. Concepts are explained in a simple, step-by-step manner, which makes even advanced AWS topics feel clear and manageable. The hands-on labs and real-world examples add huge value and help connect the theory to practical implementation.

Antonio Jesús Villarán López
Cloud Architect
I just wanted to thank IaaS Academy for the course. Even though I've already completed the course, I still go back to it because it's very useful as documentation and as a reference. I really like how much content it includes, theory and hands-on, with many real-world examples that help me to understand AWS architectures much better.
One programme. Everything included.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just another AWS certification course?
No. Certification is part of it — but the real focus is learning to think, design and interview like a Solutions Architect, with live coaching every week.
How much time each week?
After an induction session on Saturday 22 August, plan for the self-paced video course plus a live 2-hour session each Saturday (8:00 AM EDT / 1:00 PM BST / 5:30 PM IST) for 12 weeks. Mock interviews, rewrites and revision sessions are scheduled across that window.
Do I need prior AWS experience?
A basic IT or dev background helps, but we start from fundamentals and move fast. Willingness to show up on Saturdays matters more than experience.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — pay $697 in full, or spread it across three monthly payments of $249. Both options are available at checkout.
Does the price include the AWS exam fee?
The programme includes a free SAA-C03 practice exam simulator voucher (390 questions, 6 exams). The official AWS exam fee is paid to AWS separately when you book your test.
Is there a job or pass guarantee?
No — and don't trust anyone who guarantees one. What we do offer: thorough exam prep, a resume rewrite, a LinkedIn rewrite, two mock interviews and group revision sessions. You'll walk in ready.
What happens after the 12 weeks?
You'll have your certification prep done, portfolio-ready architecture designs, a polished resume and LinkedIn, and continued Slack community access.
Can my employer pay for this?
Absolutely. We provide invoices and sponsorship letters.
