Cloud roles are not a certification quiz. Employers want to see that you can lay out a network without leaving it open, describe infrastructure in code so it can be rebuilt, get a change to production without a human copying files, and handle an incident without panicking. Four weeks, each one ending in something that runs.
Every week has its modules, a learning outcome, and an assessed submission with a deadline.
Week 1
Service models and the shared responsibility line; regions and availability zones and why they matter for a real outage; virtual networks, subnets, routing, and security groups; IAM roles, policies, and least privilege in practice; where cloud bills actually come from and how to cap them; working from the CLI rather than the console.
By the end of this week you can
Design and build a segmented network with least-privilege access, and explain what an attacker who compromised one component could and could not reach.
Assessed this week
Network and IAM lab, marked on blast-radius containment rather than on whether it works. Quiz on the shared responsibility model and IAM evaluation logic. Due end of week 1.
Week 2
Docker images, layers, and image size; multi-stage builds; registries and image scanning; running containers without root; a CI pipeline in GitHub Actions; running tests as a gate rather than as decoration; artefact versioning and promotion between environments.
By the end of this week you can
Containerise an application and deliver it through a pipeline that refuses to ship a failing build.
Assessed this week
Pipeline submission: a repository whose pipeline builds, tests, scans, and publishes a versioned image. Marked partly on what the pipeline blocks. Due end of week 2.
Week 3
Terraform: state, remote backends, modules, and planning before applying; making infrastructure reproducible instead of remembered; Kubernetes deployments, services, and configuration; secrets that are not in the repository; rolling and blue-green deployment strategies and what each one costs you.
By the end of this week you can
Rebuild an environment from nothing but the code in the repository, and deploy into it without a manual step.
Assessed this week
Terraform module set plus Kubernetes manifests, assessed by destroying and rebuilding your environment from your code. Due end of week 3.
Week 4
Metrics, logs, and traces, and what each one is actually for; service level objectives and alerting on symptoms rather than causes; on-call basics; the incident lifecycle from detection to postmortem; blameless postmortems that produce real actions; a cost review of what you built; writing a runbook someone else can follow.
By the end of this week you can
Detect, diagnose, and communicate an incident in a system you did not break on purpose, then write it up so it does not happen twice.
Assessed this week
Capstone: a live incident simulation on your own environment, followed by a written postmortem and runbook reviewed by a tutor panel. Due end of week 4.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate for this pathway, showing the assessed components and your Merit Score, plus a published project showcase and a rebuilt resume.
Yes — all modules, live sessions, and assessments are online. Where a program has a supervised practical component, that part is arranged with a partner provider and is explained in the curriculum for the week it falls in.
It depends on the program, and the consultation is where that gets checked properly. Some pathways assume an existing qualification or trade background; others are entry points. We would rather turn you away than take a fee for a program you cannot complete.
You can enrol from anywhere. Employment, internship, and any supervised practical component depend on your work rights and location, which your advisor will go through with you before you commit.

Consultation-led — not instant enrolment
Programs listed here are delivered through partner providers and advisor-led consulting pathways. Certification outcomes depend on program completion and assessment requirements. Genutive does not guarantee employment or visa approval.
Four weeks, online, with the same rhythm every week so you can plan around it.
Two scheduled live sessions each week with the program tutor — one teaching session and one working session for questions, code or case review, and feedback. Sessions are recorded. Tutor time is deliberately limited: it is there for the parts that need a person, not to re-read the modules to you.
Each week releases a set of modules with readings, walkthroughs, and practice tasks. Expect eight to twelve hours of self-paced work a week on top of the live sessions.
A short knowledge check closes each week's modules. You see your result immediately, and you can retake it until you pass — but only the first attempt counts toward your Merit Matrix quiz score.
Every week has a submitted piece of work with a deadline. Tutors mark it and return written feedback. Late submissions are accepted and marked, but on-time submission is what the Merit Matrix rewards.
The final week is a capstone reviewed by a tutor panel. It becomes the centrepiece of your project showcase, which is visible on your Genutive profile.
You are placed in a small peer group for the four weeks. Some tasks are collaborative and peer-reviewed, and collaboration is a scored component of the Merit Matrix — because it is the part of the work employers complain is missing.
Your Merit Score is calculated from four components. It is not a participation award, and it follows you into the job marketplace where employers can see it.
Tutor-marked weekly tasks and the capstone. The largest component, because it is the closest thing to the actual job.
Attendance at the scheduled live sessions. Recordings help you catch up on content, but they do not earn attendance.
First-attempt results on the weekly knowledge checks.
Peer review you give and receive, and contribution to group tasks.
A Merit Score of 70 or above moves your enrolment to Career Ready. That is the point at which the employer network, internship consideration, and marketplace visibility open up. Below 70 you keep the certificate of completion and can be reassessed, but Career Ready is a threshold, not a formality.
Internship placement is offered to successful candidates only. "Successful" means you complete the program and reach the Career Ready threshold of 70 on the Merit Matrix. Even then, a placement depends on a partner or employer having a suitable position open at the time, in a location where you hold the right to work. Genutive does not guarantee an internship, and does not guarantee a job. What we do guarantee is that you will be visible to the employers in our network with real, assessed evidence attached to your name rather than a claim on a resume.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate naming the program, the assessed components, and your Merit Score. It records what you actually did, which is why we can put the score on it.
Your capstone is published to your Genutive profile with the tutor panel's review, so an employer can look at the work rather than take your word for it.
A resume rebuilt around what you can now evidence, plus interview practice for the specific roles the program targets.
Career Ready candidates become visible to employers in the Genutive network and can be matched to roles in the job marketplace.
Program fees are set during your consultation. They depend on the program, your starting point, and whether a partner provider is delivering a regulated component alongside it — so a single advertised price would be misleading more often than it was accurate. The consultation is where you find out the fee, and there is no obligation attached to it.
