If you don’t have an AWS account yet
AWS requires a debit/credit card even for the free tier (charged only if you exceed free limits). If that is a problem, speak to the trainer — a shared account can be arranged for lab sessions. Alternatively, use AWS Skill Builder’s browser-based labs which need no account.
