The Cloud Certified Professional (CCP^™) program from the Arcitura^™ Cloud School is dedicated to excellence in the fields of cloud computing technology, architecture, security, governance and capacity. A collection of courses establishes a set of vendor-neutral industry certifications with different areas of specialization. Founded by best-selling author Thomas Erl, this curriculum enables IT professionals to develop real-world cloud computing proficiency. Because of the vendor-neutral focus of the course materials, the skills acquired by attaining Cloud School certifications are applicable to any vendor or cloud platform.
