Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.
Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.
Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.
The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

AWS Lake training objectives

Master AWS Lake Formation to centralize access governance to a data lake at the column and row level in a professional context.
Deploy fine-grained filtering by business role on columns, rows and cells without scattering policies.
Tag data and manage permissions by labels rather than individual resources.
Configure data sharing across AWS accounts without physical duplication of datasets.
Implement comprehensive access auditing with traceability of queries on terabytes of data.
Optimize lake architectures for real-world volumes and billing linked to data scans.

Program

AWS Lake curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Centralization of Permissions (AWS Lake Formation, IAM)

Analysis of a large and disorganized data lake. Configuration of Lake Formation as the single governance point. Creation of business roles and mapping of scattered existing permissions. Exercises on real datasets with billing per terabyte scanned. Deliverables: centralized permission matrix and initial audit report.

Module 2 : Column and Row Filtering (Lake Formation, Glue)

Implementation of column, row and cell-level filters according to roles. Application on messy and massive data. Testing of Athena queries with dynamic access control. Real-world business cases with high volume. Deliverables: operational filtering policies and validation scripts.

Module 3 : Tagging and Cross-Account Sharing (Lake Formation, RAM)

Definition of semantic tags and label-based access rules. Configuration of secure sharing between accounts without data copying. Management of costs related to scans on shared data. Practical workshops on multi-account environments. Deliverables: tag catalog and documented sharing process.

Module 4 : Audit and Optimization (CloudTrail, Lake Formation)

Implementation of comprehensive access auditing with timestamped traceability. Analysis of logs on real datasets. Query optimization to reduce cloud costs. Review of operational governance best practices. Deliverables: audit dashboard and continuous improvement plan.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AWS Lake 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.
