Nope! Phase 1 starts from scratch. All you need is a laptop, an internet connection, and the drive to learn. We’ll guide you through each project step-by-step, even if you’ve never used AWS before.
Awesome! That gives you a head start. If you’re comfortable with the basics, you can skip Phase 1 and dive straight into the other phases. Each project is self-contained, so feel free to jump around and focus on the areas you want to level up in, whether it’s Terraform, Kubernetes, or building a real CI/CD pipeline.
It depends on your pace! Some learners power through in 1-2 months full-time, while others spread it out over 6+ months part-time. Each phase is designed to be flexible. You can pause, revisit, and move at your own speed. Highlight your projects, leave notes, and it will still be there when you come back!
You’ll get a beautiful documentation of your NextWork projects which are great for showcasing on LinkedIn and your portfolio.
This roadmap is designed to help you start strong in AI / ML. It covers foundational skills you’ll use every day, from prompt engineering to building AI agents...it’s just the beginning of your journey!
We won’t lie to you…no roadmap can guarantee a job. But this one gives you everything you need to stand out: hands-on skills, a solid portfolio, real projects to talk about, and a learning journey that mirrors what cloud engineers actually do.
Yes! Every project you complete can be documented and added to your NextWork portfolio site, which you can share with recruiters, mentors, and your future self. It’s proof of your skills…showcase not just what you’ve learned, but what you’ve actually built!
While our foundational projects are free, some of the advanced projects require a pro subscription. With pro access, unlock secret missions, unlimited quizzes and portfolio, customize your documentation and more!
You’ll get step-by-step guidance in every project, access to a supportive community, and YouTube live sessions and walkthroughs to go deeper. Whatever your pace or path, support is always close by.
