Already working in IT but don't know how to move into cloud?
Turn your existing IT experience into practical AWS cloud skills — without starting your career from scratch.
If you're working in IT support, systems administration, infrastructure or networking, you already have valuable foundations: servers, networking, DNS, authentication, storage, troubleshooting and security. The AWS Accelerator helps you build on that experience and make the transition into cloud engineering, solutions architecture or DevOps. You'll get full SAA-C03 preparation, practical capstone projects, a four-week team architecture engagement, live coaching, mock interviews and CV/LinkedIn guidance — delivered personally by Rajesh Daswani.
Try the first week risk-free - full refund by Day 7 if it's not for you.

Traditional IT → Cloud
Build on what you already know. Translate your experience with servers, networking, identity, storage and troubleshooting into AWS cloud concepts and architectures.
Learn by Building
Four capstones — three self-paced, plus a live team project — and the design patterns behind multi-tier, containerized and serverless architectures — and the skill to defend your choices out loud.
Move Towards Your Next Role
Resume and LinkedIn guidance, two mock interviews, and live Sunday sessions delivered personally by Rajesh — no junior TAs.
The transition is the hard part
Why traditional IT professionals struggle to make the move into cloud
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 programme with weekly live accountability is the difference between "someday" and "certified".
You be the architect
Take a Real Business Brief from Requirements to Built — as a Team
For four weeks you stop studying AWS and start doing the job. I hand you a real business requirement, and you tackle it in a team of 4–5 — because in the real world you never architect alone. Together you gather requirements, design the solution across core AWS services (EC2, VPC, ALB, Auto Scaling, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, CloudWatch), present your proposal live, then build it. It's the end-to-end process real architects run — and the exact conversation interviewers put you through.
- Week 1 — Requirements gathering: I explain the business use case; you ask questions and clear doubts
- Week 2 — Your team designs the solution and presents the proposal live
- Week 3 — Your team builds it; I clear your blockers
- Week 4 — Finalise the build and showcase it to the team
Your portfolio deliverable
What you walk away with
Four capstone projects — three self-paced, plus the live team-based "You Be The Architect" brief where your team designs, defends and builds a real solution — each an interview-ready portfolio piece to showcase in technical screens.

The roadmap
Induction, then 12 live Sundays. One outcome.
Induction on Sun 20 Sept, then live teaching every Sunday from 4 Oct to 20 Dec — 24 hours of live coaching with real feedback, not just recorded videos.
Induction · Sun 20 Sept
Kick-off & setup
Meet the cohort, get your accounts and tools ready, and agree the study plan for the weeks ahead. You're expected to keep pace with the self-paced video course each week so the live sessions land. Live teaching then begins Sun 4 Oct and runs every Sunday through 20 Dec.
Weeks 1–5
Core Concepts & Design Patterns
Each week you work through the assigned modules of the self-paced video course in your own time, then join a live 2-hour session every Sunday where we cover the core concepts, clear your doubts and review the architecture design patterns the exam and the job both demand.
Weeks 6–9
You Be The Architect
I hand your team of 4–5 a real business brief. Over four weeks you gather requirements, design, present your proposal, then build it — with my feedback throughout.
Week 10
LinkedIn & CV Review
We rework your LinkedIn and CV around data-driven wins — concrete, measurable results, not abstract claims.
Weeks 11–12
Revision & Exam
Focused revision, gap-closing and your run-up to sitting SAA-C03 — I encourage everyone to book and sit the exam.
Throughout:
12 live 2-hour Sunday sessions with me, a 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? In Week 10 we rewrite both together around data-driven wins, 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.

From learners of my AWS courses
Cohort 2 is one of the first live intakes — these reviews are from engineers who've learned AWS with me.
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.

❓ 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?
Here's how it works: each week you work through the assigned part of the self-paced video course in your own time, then join a live 2-hour session every Sunday where we cover core concepts, clear doubts and review architecture patterns. That's 24 hours of live teaching across the 12 weeks. To keep up, you'll need to stay on track with the video course as per the study plan we agree in induction week. Induction is Sunday 20 September; live teaching runs Sunday 4 October through 20 December. Sessions are anchored to 7:30 PM IST (3:00 PM UK / 10:00 AM ET in October). When UK and US clocks go back (25 Oct and 1 Nov), the IST time stays 7:30 PM while the UK time becomes 2:00 PM and US Eastern 9:00 AM.
Do I need prior AWS experience?
You do not need previous AWS experience. This programme is particularly suited to people who already have an IT, support, systems, infrastructure or networking background and want to build cloud skills. We start from AWS fundamentals and build from there. Willingness to show up on Sundays matters more than knowing AWS already.
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes — a single payment of $147 (billed in your local currency at checkout) gives you everything: the full self-paced course, all 12 live Sundays, the capstones and the career support. No subscriptions, no recurring fees.
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.
Enrolment closes Fri 18 Sept, 23:59. Induction Sun 20 Sept · founding price rises to $347 for Cohort 3.
