A little more clarityGood questions.
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Still deciding? We’re happy to talk through your background, goals, and batch options.
hi@crusaderworks.com ↗Do I need previous AWS experience?
You can start with the foundations in this program. Basic computer skills help; networking and Linux concepts are introduced and reinforced in labs. AWS recommends at least one year of hands-on cloud solution design experience for the exam, so plan for continued practice beyond class.
How are the 60 days structured?
The learning plan has 45 live training days followed by 15 practical project days, with five days per project. These are instructional days, not a promise of 60 consecutive calendar days. Weekday and weekend batches may have different calendar lengths. Confirm the timetable with our team.
Is the official AWS exam voucher really included?
Yes. The ₹12,999 total includes an official AWS Associate exam voucher, provided after successful training completion. Confirm the completion criteria, issue date, expiry, and booking conditions before enrollment. Certification still requires passing the official AWS exam; a pass or retake is not guaranteed.
What is included in the ₹12,999 fee?
Live training, three practical projects, certification preparation, an official AWS Associate exam voucher after successful completion, and job assistance are included. Confirm lab-account access, AWS resource billing arrangements, and applicable refund terms with the team before enrolling.
Are classes online? Can I choose a weekend batch?
Classes are live, instructor-led, and online. Flexible weekday and weekend batches are offered. Enquire for current start dates, class times, session lengths, and availability. Recordings are not promised; ask the team about missed-session arrangements.
Will I get a job or guaranteed placement?
Job assistance covers resume review, LinkedIn optimization, mock interviews, opening updates, referral assistance where available, and application guidance, including after course completion. Employment, placement, interviews, salary, and referral outcomes are not guaranteed.
How do I enroll? Is there an online payment?
Send an enquiry or contact Crusader Works on WhatsApp. The team will discuss batch options and enrollment terms with you. This page does not collect payments or commit you to enrollment.
Is Crusader Works an AWS-authorized training partner?
No AWS-authorized partner status is claimed on this page. This is an independent training program aligned to the published SAA-C03 exam domains. AWS owns its certification and trademarks.
