Note on the source page.The published aclas.college page for this programme renders the programme slug in place of the credential name in several headings, and carries degree-page boilerplate in its accreditation block. None of that is reproduced here. See the certificate index for the verified programme details.

Curriculum needs confirmation.This programme and Professional Certificate in Cloud Computing publish the same four courses in a different order. The curricula are reproduced as published rather than corrected; the college needs to confirm which is intended.
