Ekascloud

Ekascloud is an online training company that teaches cloud computing and related IT skills through one-to-one live sessions. Its About page describes it as "an online one-to-one LIVE training platform which enables its students to build their career in the field of Cloud Computing and other latest IT technologies," and the home page bills the service as the "World's 1st Personalised Cloud Certification Program," which is the company's own claim. The reader it serves is an individual learner, often a career changer or working professional, who wants an instructor working with them alone rather than a video library or a group class. A corporate training arm sells the same subjects to companies.

How the training works

The defining feature is the format. Instead of joining a cohort, each learner is taught individually. The About page puts it this way: "each session is tailor made and revolves around the students ability to understand based on their individual circumstances." Because sessions are live and online, the company says students "are able to enroll and learn from anywhere in the world," and it describes its alumni as coming "from Australia to Canada." The home page tagline is "One To One - Zero To Hero - Live Training," and it lists the stack it teaches as Azure, AWS, GCP, DevOps, Big Data, AI/ML, data science, ChatGPT and OpenAI, Microsoft Office tools, full-stack development and data analytics.

Courses are sold as fixed programs measured in sessions and months rather than hours of video. The AI Professional Certification, for example, is listed at 480 sessions over 12 months, and the Advanced Post Graduate Program In Cloud, Devops and Security at 240 sessions over a year. Shorter tool courses, such as Automation with Ansible or HashiCorp Infrastructure Automation, are listed at 20 sessions over a month.

Practical work is part of the pitch. A Live Projects section lists hands-on cloud tasks a learner works through: configuring VPC peering, virtual network peering across two regions, setting up an AWS Organization, an application load balancer, full and incremental disk backups, syncing an on-premises Windows Server to an Azure file share, a transit gateway, a hub-and-spoke firewall, an application gateway and Azure Traffic Manager with geo-based routing. The corporate page sums up the approach as "Practical Hands-on environment keep the learning stimulated with Industry requirement." The site also links to a Question Bank and a Test Center.

The catalog

The course catalog is organized into cloud computing, cloud computing and DevOps, cloud computing with AI, artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with further categories for data science, Linux and Windows administration, full-stack development, cloud security, solutions architecture, networking, big data and digital marketing. Coding and engineering learners will find Full Stack Python Developer, Full Stack MERN Developer and Full Stack MEAN Developer, Java and Python web and app development on AWS or Azure, Data Engineering with Python, Developing on AWS and Terraform automation courses.

Certification preparation runs through much of it. Microsoft Azure tracks are named by exam: Azure Fundamentals and Administrator (AZ-900 and AZ-104), Azure Design Architect (AZ-900, AZ-104 and AZ-305), Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204 and AZ-400) and an Azure Zero to Hero Expert bundle covering five Azure exams. There are also MS Messaging Admin Associate (MS-203), Certified Kubernetes Admin, Certified Cloud Security Professional and Certified Information Systems Security Professional courses. AWS courses include Architecting on AWS, Advanced Architecting on AWS, Systems Operations on AWS, Security Engineering on AWS and AWS Technical Essentials.

The newer AI line includes AI Foundation, AI Expert and AI Professional certifications, Applied Generative AI, a Claude AI Professional course, and sector courses such as AI for Finance and Banking, AI for Lawyers and Advocates, and AI for Managers and Business Owners. Quantum computing programs cover Azure, Google and IBM tracks.

Prices and figures

Unlike many training providers, Ekascloud prints a fixed fee in pounds on every course card. Examples from its course page:

• AWS Cloud Training, Azure Cloud Training, Google Cloud Platform Training and DevOps Certification: £2100 each.
• AWS Cloud With AI Training and AI Foundation Certification: £2600.
• DevOps with AWS Cloud and DevOps with Azure Cloud: £4000.
• Data Engineering with Python and Python or Java web and app development tracks: £3500.
• Full Stack Python, MERN and MEAN Developer: £4200.
• AI Expert Certification: £5200; AI Professional Certification: £10400.
• Advanced Post Graduate Program In Cloud, Devops and Security: £9500.
• Short courses such as AWS Technical Essentials Training: £800; Automation with Terraform on AWS Cloud: £735.

The pages do not say whether these fees can be paid in installments or what refund terms apply.

The home page lists 3000 professionals trained, a 4.9 rating from 900+ learners and 750 career transitions, all as the company's own figures. Instructor profiles add detail: the lead Cloud and DevOps trainer is described as having trained more than 8500 students in 9 years, and an Azure senior trainer more than 600 students over 4 years. The team page places the CEO in London and trainers in India, and lists a UK phone number and an info email for contact. A Success Stories page collects learner review videos and seminar recordings.

Corporate training

The corporate page says Ekascloud provides "corporate training for high-end technologies including cloud computing & 50+ courses in various IT domains," adding that "Our training programs are delivered by certified instructors and can be customised based on your requirements." Companies can choose classroom or online delivery, and the page names programs "designed & delivered by industry experts." For a team lead, that means scheduled cloud or DevOps upskilling built around the company's stack, arranged through a "Talk To Experts" request rather than a self-service plan.

Who it suits

Ekascloud suits learners who want an instructor's full attention and a fixed price up front: a career changer moving into cloud administration, an engineer preparing for Azure or AWS certification exams, or a developer adding DevOps and AI skills. Knowing the fee in advance helps with budgeting, and the long programs give a structured route from foundations to advanced work. Teams that want customized cloud training in person or online can use the corporate service.

It suits learners on a tight budget less well, since one-to-one tuition carries fees in the thousands of pounds for the longer programs, and anyone who prefers learning alongside a cohort of classmates will find the format deliberately individual.
