The course materials for all Amazon Web Services (AWS) courses are available exclusively as e-books.
AWS e-books are made available via the VitalSource Bookshelf platform. They can be used online via a browser or offline with a suitable reader. These are available for PC, Mac, iOS, Android and Kindle Fire. Comments and highlights you add are automatically synchronized between all devices.
Please bring your notebook or tablet with you to access the e-book. This way you will have the course materials conveniently available during and after the course.
In courses that include practical laboratory exercises with the AWS environment, it is essential that you have your own internet-enabled notebook (Windows, Linux, MacOS). If you are unable to bring your own device, please contact us.
With an AWS Builder ID, you can not only register for AWS training courses, but also gain access to the official AWS e-books.
The digital course materials are provided via the VitalSource platform. Once you have successfully registered and logged in with your AWS Builder ID, you can conveniently access your e-books online and use them on various devices.
This gives you the following benefits:
- Immediate access to your digital course materials
- Use on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone
- Search, highlight, and note-taking functions within the e-books
- Sustainable and paperless provision of training materials
Please follow the steps below to access the documents.
