-Training is divided into levels: prerequisites, fundamentals, and advanced. Every person in your large migration project should complete the prerequisite-level training, which reviews basic information about the AWS Cloud and migration concepts. For fundamentals and advanced levels, you use a training plan to assign a training level to each workstream. You then use a training tracking tool to record each individual’s progress toward completing the required trainings in their workstream. It is important to note that we recommend training based on workstreams rather than roles and job titles because roles can vary significantly between organizations.
