About WinQuest

When we started WinQuest Online, we wanted to offer beginner classes of all kinds. Coding as a skill improves problem solving and creativity in kids, also opening them up to the ever-expanding field of computer science.

However, we soon realized coding is a skill very few learn properly. They didn't know where to go for help, and so they would just give up before they ever got started! We saw this as a problem — one that needed solving.

That's why we created WinQuest Online: to help Parents / Students like you find the information you need and get started on your coding journey!

Overview

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the world's most widely-adopted cloud platform. WinQuest delivers it live online 1:1 or in small groups across three progressive levels - Beginner (Cloud Practitioner certification track), Intermediate (Solutions Architect Associate / Developer Associate / SysOps Administrator Associate) and Advanced (Solutions Architect Professional + specialty tracks). Each level maps to the corresponding AWS official certification exam (AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02, Solutions Architect SAA-C03, etc.) so a student finishes ready to sit the exam.
