Hi AWS Learners,
We're excited to share that
AWS SimuLearn Learning Plan Badges are now available - a new way for your team to showcase the hands-on cloud
skills they've built through SimuLearn's immersive training experience.
When a learner completes all assignments in a SimuLearn learning plan, they earn an official AWS badge representing their end-to-end journey: customer conversations, architecture
design, hands-on building, and validated outcomes. Badges are issued through
Credly and can be shared on LinkedIn, social platforms, and directly with employers.
|
What Makes These Badges Different
SimuLearn badges aren't earned by watching videos or passing a multiple-choice quiz. Each badge represents mastery across
the complete SimuLearn experience:
|
✓
|
AI-Powered Customer Simulations - Gathering requirements through realistic conversations with
virtual customers
|
|
✓
|
Architecture Design - Translating business requirements into technical solution proposals
|
|
✓
|
Hands-On Building - Building real solutions in live AWS Console environments
|
|
✓
|
Automated Validation - DIY assessments that confirm the solution works as intended
|
|
12 Learning Plans, 12 Badges
Badges are available across role-based and industry learning plans:
|
Free badges available: SimuLearn Cloud Practitioner and SimuLearn Generative AI Practitioner learning
plans (and their badges) are free for all learners. Additional learning plans require an AWS Skill Builder Individual or Team subscription.
