AWS Academy Cloud Foundations
AWS Cloud Foundations (ACF) is one of LSBF’s Digital Academy courses created to serve students looking for a career in cloud computing or those who wish to gain a conceptual and practical understanding about what cloud based computing is all about.
Many organisations and companies are now moving their information technology (IT) infrastructures to the cloud to save costs, increase profit, increase agility in responding to business needs and become more competitive in today’s tech-driven economy.

They are also a global leader in cloud computing training.
