AWS Training and Certifications in 2025

Are AWS training and certifications relevant in 2025?

Yes—AWS training and certifications remain highly relevant in 2025. With global IT skills gaps widening—87% of organizations report shortages, and 90% expect continued impact through 2026—AWS credentials help professionals and businesses stay current, effective, and competitive in cloud, AI, and digital transformation initiatives.

Why AWS Certifications Matter Now

Cloud technologies are reshaping business models, yet demand significantly outpaces talent supply:

  • Widespread Skills Shortages: A 2025 survey found 87% of technology leaders struggle to find skilled talent, and 76% report tech skills gaps within their teams.
  • Persistent Global Impact: Nearly two thirds of a recent IDC survey said that a lack of skills has resulted in missed revenue growth objectives, quality problems, and a decline in customer satisfaction

AWS Certifications provide a structured way to elevate capabilities. Developed and maintained by AWS experts, their training content aligns with emerging cloud, AI, and infrastructure trends—delivering relevant, high-quality skills for the modern era.

Accelerate Your Modernization Journey.

Companies are looking to be more agile so they can innovate and respond to change faster and innovate more rapidly. This requires a different kind of application than what was common years ago. Applications now need to scale quickly to potentially millions of users, have global availability, manage petabytes if not exabytes of data, and respond in milliseconds. We call these modern applications, and they cover use cases from web and mobile backends, IoT applications, AI/ML workloads, batch processing, PaaS solutions, microservice backends, and more.

Modern applications are built with a combination of these new architecture patterns, operational models, and software delivery processes, and they allow businesses to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership. Modern applications create competitive differentiation by enabling rapid innovation. By changing your architectural pattern,
operational model, and software delivery process, you can shift resources from standard operations to differentiating activities.

Training the agile, modern organization.

Today more than ever, cloud experts are key to innovation in the organization. When companies help up-level their highly capable staff by encouraging training and knowledge sharing, the economic advantages multiply. When individual contributors transform into modern application developers, companies deliver better solutions to market, faster.

But cloud training isn’t just for IT professionals. Businesses should adopt a comprehensive training strategy that raises the cloud skills of the whole organization. As such, AWS digital and classroom training provide the broader team with the essential knowledge they need to understand modern application development best practices in the cloud. Training an entire organization helps educate staff that will architect and build next-generation, cloud-based solutions.

Ready, set, modernize.

AWS training and certifications provides expertise to organizations and cloud developers to build cloud fluency with modern application development skills.

You can now develop applications on AWS faster and easier. Host code, build, test, and deploy your applications quickly and effectively with AWS developer tools. Leverage core tools like software development kits (SDKs), code editors, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) services for DevOps software development. Use machine learning (ML) -guided best practices and abstractions to improve agility, security, velocity, and code quality.
