Use AWS Jams To Master Real-World Cloud Skills
The rapid pace of cloud technology requires constant learning and adaptation. One innovative way Bespoke Training is bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills is through AWS Jams.
But what exactly are AWS Jams, and why have they become a popular training format for cloud professionals?
AWS Jams are gamified, immersive, hands-on learning sessions designed to push students beyond basic cloud concepts, placing them in simulated environments where they must solve real-world challenges.
Typically conducted in groups, these experiences are a blend of learning, competition, and practical application. While AWS training traditionally focuses on learning AWS services through lectures or guided labs, Jams take it a step further by challenging participants to apply their skills to scenarios that mimic actual business or security situations.
How AWS Jams Work
During an AWS Jam, participants are presented with a series of scenarios, referred to as challenges, which they must solve within a set timeframe. Each challenge is unique and demands a mix of creative thinking, technical know-how, and collaboration. These challenges span a broad range of AWS competencies, such as security, artificial intelligence, data analytics, DevOps, and more.
Teams compete to earn points based on how quickly and accurately they resolve challenges, with real-time leaderboards adding an extra layer of excitement. The format of AWS Jams makes them highly engaging and an excellent means of reinforcing critical cloud skills in a short period.
Also, the competitive aspect helps participants stay focused, collaborate efficiently, and think critically — all essential skills in today’s workplace.
Benefits of AWS Jams
- Real-World Experience: AWS Jams simulate real-world challenges, allowing participants to develop solutions that can directly translate into their professional tasks. This hands-on, trial-by-fire approach makes it easier to retain and apply what they learn
- Team Collaboration: AWS Jams are collaborative, encouraging participants to work as a team to tackle complex issues. This not only reinforces cloud skills but also cultivates teamwork and communication
- Problem-Solving Under Pressure: Real-time challenges provide an opportunity to test and refine one’s ability to make informed decisions quickly. This can be especially beneficial for roles that require a high level of responsiveness and adaptability.
- Customisation: Organisations can request tailored AWS Jam sessions that focus on specific skills or scenarios relevant to their industry. Custom Jams ensure that participants gain skills that are immediately applicable to their work environment.
