Amazon Q Developer Knowledge Badge Readiness Path

- Digital badge
- 5.4 hours
The Amazon Q Developer Knowledge Badge Readiness Path is a ten-training Skill Builder learning plan of 5 hours 25 minutes about using Amazon Q Developer, AWS's generative AI assistant, in software development workflows. The plan page describes it as self-paced training for software developers, DevOps engineers and technical practitioners with basic AWS knowledge, as well as cloud architects, technical leads and IT professionals who want AI-assisted tools in their development lifecycle. The outline moves from an introduction and setup through software development with Amazon Q Developer, code transformation, the command line interface, managing operations on AWS, customisation, prompt engineering and GitLab Duo with Amazon Q, and ends with the Amazon Q Developer Fundamentals Knowledge Badge Assessment, which the page says validates your skills and earns a Credly digital badge.
AWS's badge page says badges are free to earn and share once you pass with at least an 80 percent score. The plan page does not state a skill level. It carries no notice that any of its trainings requires a subscription, every outline item is a digital course, and it appears under Skill Builder's free access tier, so a free Skill Builder account is all that is needed.
