In their own words

AWS Skill Builder

AWS Skill Builder is a web-based training service for developing AWS Cloud and AI skills, with material for learners from fundamental to advanced levels. Its free resources include 1,000+ learning resources and over 900 self-paced digital courses. Individual subscriptions add AWS Builder Labs, game-based learning, AWS Jam challenges, a no-fee practice sandbox, exam-preparation courses with guided labs, and Official Practice Exams. The annual Individual subscription also includes AWS Digital Classroom courses, which provide self-paced digital training based on classroom courses. Team subscriptions provide administration for assigning and tracking training, plus reports on course enrollment, labs, AWS Cloud Quest, active users, and AWS Jam challenge results. Team learners can use company credentials when their organization has SSO through ADFS, Azure AD, Ping, or Okta. Courses can be browsed, searched, and enrolled in on phones and tablets, though labs and game-based learning are best experienced on a laptop or workstation. Individual subscriptions exclude live classroom training and AWS Certification exams. Team seats are limited to the purchasing company’s employees and contractors.
