An internship is similar to a job. You can start anytime.

The standard duration of the program is four months. The current batch is running from September to December. If you missed any sessions, you can watch recordings and then ask doubts to real trainers over Zoom. You can even attend those sessions live in any future batches within a year. 

Currently, classes happen at 8 PM IST. Classes could run up to 2 hours on weekends and 1 hour on weekdays. Saturday sessions are mandatory ones and Sunday classes happen based on need and will be notified during the Saturday session. If there is no class on Sunday, you can use that time to ask doubts. Weekday sessions are generally optional, but good to attend to master cloud. Weekday sessions may not follow a schedule and there may not be upfront notifications. However, the timing will be the same always so that you can plan your day. For such sessions, recordings may be shared or it will happen live again. Monday is a holiday for the team. 

4MCEA Key Rules & Regulations for Full Time Interns

Adherence to the following Key Rules & Regulations is paramount to ensure a productive, respectful, and safe environment for all participants. 

1. Program and Session Commitment: Full-time interns should commit 40 hours per week, filling timesheets daily, with a total program commitment of 680 hours. Part-time interns and students can request exceptions in writing. Live classes may occur on weekends and holidays to align with our working professional trainers' availability. If you miss a class, you must watch the recording and take a reverse KT session with the community within 7 days.
2. Setting Up and Attending Virtual Office: If you're working from home, set up a quiet workplace with a clear microphone for online meetings, power backup, and broadband speeds of at least 40 Mbps. Since many of our interns work from home, we have created a virtual office using Zoom. You can log into it whenever you work to work alongside your team members. Attendance is also taken automatically by Zoom, allowing you to log in and work alongside your team members. Attendance is taken automatically by Zoom.
3. Communication Guidelines: Use only company-approved channels to communicate with customers or other employees. If direct communication is required for work, ensure the team is aware. Do not discuss work or team members in unofficial channels, such as unofficial WhatsApp groups. Avoid making assumptions; always ask if you are unsure about anything. Inform your team and manager in advance if you plan to take leaves or breaks.

4. Regularly Checking the Rules and Guidelines: All participants need to check this page at least once every seven days for updated rules or guidelines. Full-timers must also check the latest Cloudericks rule book weekly to stay informed. If you have any concerns about new rules or guidelines, inform us in writing within seven days of publication. Regular reviews ensure everyone is up-to-date and compliant with the latest policies. 

You can learn for free by committing to community work that you agree upon. Community work involves a variety of tasks that help build and strengthen the Cloudericks community, such as:

• Sharing updates in groups to keep them active.
• Preparing and conducting quizzes.
• Creating lab (or recipe) documentation.
• Leading lab walkthrough sessions.
• Developing additional course content.
• Moderating content within community groups.
• Reaching out to potential interns or community members via calls to explain the program.
• Verifying information about community members.
• Other tasks may be assigned based on the community's evolving needs.

If no specific community task is assigned to you, learn from a video in the Cloudericks or CodingArchitect youtube channels, and share updates in the designated Facebook group (either AzureCloud or AWSWithHK). You have a 24-hour window each day to share updates, so there should be no reason to miss this commitment.

You will be added to a community-building group where you can ask questions—never make assumptions. You need to share updates regularly for the first seven consecutive days to show your seriousness before you will be added to the complete program. If no task is assigned, you can do the default task as mentioned on the previous para. 

If you are also doing a full-time or part-time internship, you will also be added to the internship group and in that case, you can ask doubts in the internship group instead. The internship group will also have students who have paid a fee. Only interns who have completed 1 month of full-time work will be eligible for internship certificates and stipends; however, the actual stipends will allocated based on funds availability. 

If you're unable to complete a task for any reason, inform the team in the community-building group (or internship group as applicable) and get approval. In emergencies, you may inform the group without waiting for approval; we will accommodate valid reasons.

For those on the free-with-deposit option, failure to follow guidelines or commitments without notifying the team will result in a weekly fine of $7 or Rs. 499. If your deposit is forfeited, re-enrollment will be required after 21 days.

You are responsible for tracking and sharing proof of work every 21 days to maintain your free learning access. For instance, if your task involves daily updates on Facebook, you can document screenshots in a Word file and submit it to the admin every 21 days.

If you complete the 4MCEA program within four months, adhering to all key rules, regulations, and assigned tasks (such as sharing daily updates/feedback in the Facebook group and on YouTube) without taking unplanned leaves, you will be eligible for a refund of your deposit as a reward excluding taxes. Upon successful completion of the course, you can request this refund, which we will process within 15 days of receiving your request.  However, failure to comply with the guidelines or commitments will result in forfeiture of your deposit, and you may be required to reenroll, possibly with a fine.

The primary goal of this program is to provide you with real-world knowledge and experience, along with a valid experience certificate to support your future job searches.

While we strive to offer stipends based on the candidate's financial situation and our funds availability/profit, stipends are not guaranteed.

To become eligible you should have shared updates on at least 5 days every week for last 4 weeks. If you are eligible for a stipend and one is allocated to you, you will receive an offer letter with the stipend details.

For the Azure track, we will provide accounts to practice if you need. However, you will not be able to do few labs from module 1 related to identity. For these, you can use your free tier account.

For AWS, the practice requires a free tier account, and the participants will have to create one under our guidance. AWS free tier creation has fewer constraints than Azure free tier creation and can easily be created by anyone.  

You can earn up to a 90% discount for 7MCEA by actively learning and sharing daily updates.
