Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without mastering Amazon Cognito, 78% of AWS applications suffer authentication breaches, exposing organizations to incidents costing an average of 4,2 millions d'euros per incident according to IBM.

  • Teams waste 45% of their time on manual user and OAuth management, delaying deployments and increasing cloud costs by 30%.

  • In 2026, regulations such as GDPR and NIS2 impose fines up to 4% of revenue on non-compliant companies.

  • Every delay widens the competitive gap, puts devs' careers at risk, and exposes the company to critical data losses.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Amazon Cognito training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
