SAN FRANCISCO: Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a global AI-powered skills acceleration platform, today announced the launch of an end-to-end certification journey with a significant expansion of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) certification resources. Learners can now purchase AWS exam vouchers for 12 certifications on Udemy’s global marketplace, access top-rated courses and practice exams from certified experts, and get automated guidance to stay on track with exam scheduling.
