About this program
Most of what we run at Incred lives on AWS. This program focuses on what a developer actually needs: building, securing and deploying applications, not just memorising services.
You will also be prepared for the AWS Certified Developer – Associate exam, with a full mock exam at the end.
After this program you can join the 6-month internship and take part in the ownership model: build an Incred vertical and earn a share, sell your product locally, or pitch your own idea for funding.
