The Cloud Credential Council develops vendor-neutral cloud computing certifications for IT professionals to standardize training and ensure quality. It aims to address the lack of awareness and competencies in cloud computing by managing certifications like the Cloud-Ready Professional Certificate. This involves developing exam syllabi, accrediting training partners, and mapping needed cloud competences. Becoming a council member allows training partners to benefit from its marketing and influence on the growing cloud market.

14. The Current Market Situation 1. Vendor-Specific Certification It is impossible to take a “neutral” position if all training programs in the market include specific technology or vendor solutions. 2. Lack of a structured learning approach An abundance of reference material is already available, but this is not sufficient, nor appropriate, as a structured approach to build organizational capability. 3. Unknown and non-certified Cloud training Training organizations may offer “non-standardized” cloud training, but the one-off trainings fragment the market and create confusion as there is no defined guideline around the training. In turn, it will slow down maturity of the cloud domain / adoption
