The AWS Skill Builder Team subscription is available for $449 USD per seat/per year. It is an annual subscription, available to organizations that want to purchase a minimum of 5 seats. They then assign the seats to their employees. This seat-based model ensures that a user with an active seat can access all the subscription training resources available.

The subscription purchase will provide access to subscription benefits for one year.

After you order the Team subscription, we will create a Team subscription record for your organization and assign administrative privileges to users you have nominated. We will then conduct an onboarding meeting to give the subscription seats to administrators and train the administrators on how to manage users, assign subscription seats, and view reports.

Your subscription will start when AWS notifies you that you have access to AWS Skill Builder Team subscription.

You will be able to see enrollment reports for self-paced digital courses, labs, and AWS Cloud Quest for employees you have invited to AWS Skill Builder. The reports will also include the number of active users, most used courses and learning plans, and more. For AWS Jam events you have organized, you will be able to see the challenges completed by participating teams/individuals and their score.

Only learning administrators have access to reporting.
