About the Course

Linkskill's Cloud Architect program is a 36-session, live-instructor-led course covering the complete spectrum of cloud architecture on AWS and Azure. You'll master cloud-native services, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, container orchestration with Kubernetes, and cloud security best practices — plus exam preparation for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03).

By graduation you'll have deployed a multi-tier application on AWS, built IaC pipelines, and have a solid foundation to sit the AWS SAA exam — one of the most valuable certifications in the Indian IT market.

12 Questions to Ask Before You Enrol — Answered

Before joining any Cloud Architect course in Salem or online, ask these 12 questions. Here are Linkskill Academy's straight answers.

1Does the Cloud Architect course cover Excel, SQL, Power BI or Tableau, Python and statistics? Can I get the full module list in writing?

This is an AWS cloud course: core AWS, compute and storage, networking and security, cloud databases, Terraform, containers and Kubernetes, cost optimisation and monitoring, plus AWS Solutions Architect – Associate exam preparation. Full module list: 1. Cloud Fundamentals & AWS Core (5 sessions); 2. Compute & Storage Services (5 sessions); 3. Networking & Security (5 sessions); 4. Databases in the Cloud (4 sessions); 5. Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (5 sessions); 6. Containers & Kubernetes on AWS (5 sessions); 7. Cost Optimisation & Monitoring (3 sessions); 8. AWS SAA Certification Prep & Project (4 sessions). We will send this module list on WhatsApp or email on request.

2How many real projects will I do, and with what datasets? Can I see past student projects?

Every module includes hands-on labs on AWS, and the course ends with an architecture project you design, deploy and document. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will share sample capstone projects from past learners.

3What is the trainer's industry experience? Do they work in the industry now?

Programmes are led by Sreemathy Sampath, Founder & Managing Director of Linkskill Academy, who has 10+ years of training experience in data and analytics, together with practising industry mentors for specialist modules. Ask us on WhatsApp for the name, LinkedIn profile and current role of the trainer assigned to your batch, and we will send it in writing before you pay.

4Can I attend a free demo class before paying?

Yes. You can attend a free demo / orientation session before you pay anything. Book a slot on WhatsApp (+91 90874 96799). We also run regular free and low-cost workshops (for example our free SQL one-day workshop), which are a good way to experience our teaching style first.

5How many students are in a batch? Are there weekday, weekend or online options?

Batches are kept small so the trainer can review every learner's work. We run weekday and weekend batches, in person at our Arisipalayam, Salem centre, live online, or hybrid. Ask us for the exact seat count and timings of the next batch and we will confirm them on WhatsApp or email.

6What is the duration and total fee, including taxes and exam charges? Are instalments available?

Duration: 36 live sessions of 120 min each, over about 3 Months. Fee: Cloud & DevOps programmes are ₹20,000–₹28,000 depending on mode and batch. The AWS certification exam fee is paid directly to AWS and is not included unless we state otherwise in writing. EMI/instalment options are available. Before you pay we send the full amount in writing, with GST and any third-party exam fees shown separately, so there are no hidden charges.

7Who issues the certificate? Is it linked to Microsoft or another recognised body, or is it the academy's own?

The course certificate is issued by Linkskill Academy Pvt. Ltd. It is the academy's own certificate. The course prepares you for the AWS Solutions Architect – Associate exam, which is issued by AWS when you pass it.

8Do you offer placement support or only interview prep? Which companies hired your recent students, and how many were placed last year?

We offer placement support, not a job guarantee, and we do not advertise "100% placement". Support continues after the course until you are placed: resume and LinkedIn rebuilding, mock interviews, portfolio review and referrals to hiring companies we work with. Ask us for the list of companies that hired our recent learners and last year's placement numbers, and we will share them in writing.

9Can I speak to two or three past students?

Yes. On request we connect you with two or three past learners from a recent batch (with their consent) so you can ask them directly about the training, projects and placement support.

10What is the refund or batch-change policy if I'm not satisfied?

Our written policy: 100% refund if you cancel 7+ days before the batch starts; 75% refund if you cancel within the first 7 days of class and have attended no more than 2 sessions; after week 1 there is no refund, but you can transfer to a later batch free of charge. Batch transfers are unlimited and free. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.

11Is an internship included, and is it paid or unpaid?

An internship is not bundled into the course fee by default. Linkskill runs separate internship programmes (4–8 weeks, ₹2,000–₹5,000 programme fee depending on the track) where you work on live projects with mentorship and a certificate. These are learning internships, not stipend-paying jobs; a few paid opportunities may be offered to exceptional candidates. Ask us whether a current offer includes an internship.

12If I miss a class, do I get recordings or a repeat session?

Every live session is recorded and shared with you, so you never lose a class. If you miss several sessions, you can join the same topic in a parallel or later batch at no extra cost (free batch transfer).

Get it in writing. Ask for any of these answers on WhatsApp (+91 90874 96799) or email (info@linkskillacademy.live) and we will reply in writing, so you have a record before you pay. Be cautious of any institute that promises "100% placement" without naming companies or numbers. Get these answers on WhatsApp →
