AWS Will Give You Credit for Completing These EdX Courses

<a href="https://www.edx.org/AWS-activate" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edx.org&#x2F;AWS-activate</a> is the source and it&#x27;s a minimum $50 contribution for the requisite &quot;verified&quot; certificate.

<i>&quot;$1,000 in credit to spend on processor time and&#x2F;or storage in Amazon’s cloud.&quot;</i><p>Amazon has been doing that for years. I was offered AWS credit when I took a machine learning course at Hacker Dojo a few years back.<p>The first one is always free.

What is the cost of a Verified Certificate for this course?<p>According to the pricing section of the Verified Certificate page, the minimum fee varies by course but I can&#x27;t find a way to determine the minimum fee without an account.

Is anyone here familiar with the quality of the course? Or taken the course?

This is a flat $1000 credit, right? It&#x27;s not a monthly credit? I think this is a pretty cool program but with Microsoft Bizspark you get $150 monthly credit on Azure for 3 years plus an MSDN subscription.<p>Either way, it&#x27;s cool seeing Amazon offer this to people who are interested.

Does anyone know if an existing AWS account would qualify for the credit? I haven&#x27;t used mine in a while - mostly on DO right now - though I miss the services AWS provides, so this would definitely get me to migrate back.

Related, Google gives you $500 in cloud credit when you take their java scaling course for free: <a href="https://www.udacity.com/course/ud859" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.udacity.com&#x2F;course&#x2F;ud859</a>

Signed up, I think that it will be well worth the time even though I am much more of a programmer than a business person.

Am I the only one not finding how much the verified certificate cost? It says that it has a minimum fee, but it doesn&#x27;t say how much it is
