NCTA Overview

The National Cloud Technologists Association and the CloudMASTER® program were born in 2012 out of a genuine need for hands-on, vendor-neutral public cloud training.

As cloud adoption accelerates, so, too, does the need for related skills. But with so many different vendors, it can be difficult to determine what training is most relevant and necessary since most training and certification is vendor-specific. NCTA is Vendor Neutral
