This would be for anyone who is applying for an AWS research credit, and for those that are interested in applying in future terms, or just want to learn more.

Our trainings are hands on keyboards, and you get a few days of free access to an AWS account as well. Researchers are only require for the first 20 min., a grad student may optionally remain for AWS training.
