NTTF's view in learning Cloud Computing for Diploma Students :
NTTF's quality objectives include two critical components namely, to train the youth in employable skills, and to keep pace with the technological developments. As part of these objectives, we identified Cloud Computing as one of the most sought after employability skills and a top emerging technology.
Cloud Computing has also been identified as the #1 Hod Skills Companies Need Most in 2019 ("The Skills Companies Need Most in 2019" published on Jan 01 2019 by Linked in Learning). Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service also identified AWS as the market leader in 2018.
So NTTF decided to redesign the diploma programs (CP08 & CP09) to include Cloud Computing, and partner with AWS Academy to deliver this in-demand employable skill to our students
