Program Overview

Pick one cloud track (listed below) and commit 90 minutes daily over 90 days to help us prepare recipes for the cookbook on weekdays (5 days a week) and on weekends, attend live sessions and share a summary of what you learned from the session. Each time you create or review a recipe, you deepen your understanding of that topic through hands-on practice within a real cloud environment. This experience is comparable to actual work experience, as you’re actively creating, not merely learning from existing materials as in many courses. Plus, you’re never alone; if you get stuck, there’s a team ready to help you move forward.

Can’t do 90 minutes on a weekday because you have office work? Catch up on weekends to complete pending work, but ensure updates are shared daily and all work assigned for a week is completed by Sunday that week. If you opt for extra discount on deposit, rules are slightly different as explained later. If you want to study multiple tracks in parallel, plan to spend 90 minutes per track per day on average. Alternatively, complete additional tracks one after another. This focused approach ensures you gain depth in each area.

To make sure you are serious about your commitment and do not waste the instructor's time or the cost of cloud resources, a refundable deposit of INR ₹2999 / USD $36 / CAD $50 is required, along with a small setup fee of INR ₹249 / USD $3 / CAD $4 per payment. This deposit is fully refunded upon successful completion. Processing fee will also be returned if you do not fail on any commitments in the 90 days. However, if you fail to submit the completed commitments tracking report every 21 days, the deposit is forfeited, and you will need to pay the deposit again. Are you currently unemployed and can’t pay the regular deposit? You can get 90% discount on deposit, however you need to share the tracking report daily and cannot carry forward tasks to weekend. If you take unplanned leaves or do not follow program guidelines, your deposit will be forfeited and you may have to reenrol with regular deposit.

Participation Requirements

  • Daily Work/Learning: Attend daily connects/sessions at 8 PM IST or 8 PM MDT, complete assigned tasks, capture lab screenshots, and prepare or review recipes and documents.
  • Daily Updates: Share progress daily in a community group assigned to you for sharing, and add screenshots to a commitments tracker document.
  • Documentation: Every 21 days, submit the tracker with all screenshots and present any recipes created or reviewed.
  • Clear Communication: Never make assumptions; always ask questions if you have doubts to ensure clarity and understanding.
  • Attendance: No unplanned leaves are allowed. For planned leaves, you need to take initiative and compensate within 7 days as agreed upon with cloudericks team. If you have an emergency, please inform the manager/team about the same as you would in any professional setting.

Not Able to Follow Commitments?

If the daily 90-minute commitment is challenging, you have options to reduce it by paying part or all of the program fee, which is Rs. 2999 per 21 days for 4 times, and get access to up to 1 year.

  • 100% Fee: No daily commitments.
  • 50% Fee: 45 minutes per day.
  • 75% Fee: 22.5 minutes per day.

However, please note that by spending less time per day, you increase the overall number of days needed to complete the total hours required by those spending 90 minutes per day.

Alternatively, you can learn without any weekday commitments from our best learning programs 4MCEA and 7MCEA.
