The Cloud Skills Landscape
Cloud computing is a major part of modern IT, helping organisations store data, run applications, scale infrastructure and support digital transformation. As more businesses move systems and services to cloud platforms, skills in AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, architecture and cloud security can help students stay current in a fast-changing technology landscape.
There are 48,600 Computer Network Professionals employed in Australia, with work focused on implementing, managing and troubleshooting network hardware, software and cloud-connected infrastructure.
Cloud Engineers in Australia commonly earn between $125,000 and $145,000, highlighting the value of cloud infrastructure, deployment and platform management skills.
Australia’s cloud computing market is projected to reach USD 32.0 billion by 2034, driven by digital transformation, scalable IT infrastructure, cloud-based solutions and demand for secure data storage.

Are these cloud courses nationally recognised?
No. The short courses and bootcamps on this page are non-accredited: you receive an industry-recognised Certificate of Completion, or prepare for a vendor certification exam from Microsoft, AWS, Google or EC-Council. They are not AQF qualifications and prices include GST. If you want nationally recognised training in cloud computing, Upskilled delivers the accredited ICT30120 Certificate III in Information Technology - Focus on Basic Cloud Computing and the ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Cloud Engineering), which are GST free.
FAQs - Cloud Computing Short Courses
Common questions about the cloud computing short courses and bootcamps and how they work.
Upskilled offers seven online cloud short courses and bootcamps: the multi-cloud Cloud Architect Online Bootcamp Program, the platform-specific AWS Cloud Architect, Azure Cloud Architect and Google Cloud Platform Architect Certification Training bootcamps, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Training, and two EC-Council security courses: Cloud Security Essentials (C|SE) and the Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE).
No. These short courses and bootcamps are non-accredited: you receive an industry-recognised Certificate of Completion or prepare for a vendor certification exam, not an AQF credential. All prices include GST. Upskilled separately delivers nationally recognised cloud qualifications, and each course page states plainly which kind of training it is.
Not for every role. Employers hiring for cloud work often value demonstrated platform skills and vendor certifications, which a bootcamp can build quickly. If you want a structured entry into IT or a nationally recognised credential on your resume, a nationally recognised cloud computing qualification such as a Certificate III or Diploma is the stronger path.
Not always. The multi-cloud Cloud Architect Online Bootcamp Program is designed for newcomers and experienced professionals alike. The platform-specific architect bootcamps and the Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE) sit more comfortably with some existing IT knowledge.
If you are new to cloud, start with the multi-cloud Cloud Architect Online Bootcamp Program. To commit to one platform, pick the AWS, Azure or Google Cloud architect course. For security, start with Cloud Security Essentials (C|SE) and step up to the Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE).
Yes. Cloud short courses and bootcamps are a common professional development spend, and prices include GST. Upskilled can invoice your employer and arrange team enrolments. Speak with an education consultant about training a group on the same platform.
