Background and Objectives of LMS (Learning Management System) Support

Since our founding in 2007, we have provided cloud server construction, operation, and maintenance services to numerous companies as an MSP (Managed Service Provider). To give back to society the "skills and knowledge needed in the field" that we have cultivated through this experience, we offer "Server Camp for Biz," a customized training service where active infrastructure engineers provide direct instruction

In reality, many business owners, IT departments, and HR managers face challenges such as "We can hire IT talent, but we can't keep up with training," "Technical skills are concentrated in the hands of specific individuals," and "We recognize the need for training, but it's difficult to see the effects of training, so we can't take the plunge."

Given this background, we have made it possible to take Server Camp for Biz courses using an LMS (Learning Management System). This makes it possible to visualize students' learning progress and attendance records, making management easier

Furthermore, by meeting the eligibility requirements for the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy (Business Development and Reskilling Support Course), we will support the establishment of a flexible and robust educational system that can meet a wide range of needs and objectives, from basic training for new engineers to skill improvement and reskilling for mid-career employees, and the development of cloud talent with a view to the future, while utilizing subsidies and keeping costs down

Three key points regarding LMS (Learning Management System) compatibility

1. Visualization of training

Because the system allows for centralized management of each student's learning progress and achievements, it's possible to visualize "who," "how far," and "how" they are progressing in their studies. Since training status can be grasped as objective data, rather than relying on intuition or self-reporting, it becomes easier to improve the accuracy of talent development plans and to provide follow-up support tailored to progress

2. Learning that is not bound by time or place

Because it's an e-learning format, participants can learn at their own pace, utilizing spare time such as their commute. Furthermore, since it can be accessed from anywhere, it can be used for training in companies with multiple locations

3. Reducing the burden on the education sector and enabling flexible operation

Since it eliminates the need to arrange venues and instructors for group training, completing the learning process solely through e-learning can reduce the burden on the education department. Furthermore, it's possible to flexibly design the training style according to the objectives, such as combining it with face-to-face instruction

What is the AWS Fundamentals Course?

This course is a practical training program designed to enable even those without prior knowledge of servers or cloud computing to actually build a web server on the AWS environment. Starting with initial AWS account setup and basic knowledge input, participants will learn infrastructure construction through hands-on exercises, including VPC construction and EC2 instance creation and operation

Furthermore, you can learn to build a system where WordPress is actually running by sequentially installing nginx, PHP, and MySQL. The course is structured to allow you to learn not only through lectures but also through hands-on exercises, enabling you to master the entire process from scratch to a fully functional website

Regarding the use of the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy

The Human Resources Development Support Subsidy is a system that subsidizes the costs of improving employees' skills and reskilling, thereby supporting companies' continuous human resource development

The AWS Fundamentals course is eligible for the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy (Business Development and Reskilling Support Course), and if certain requirements are met, you can take the course using the subsidy

*This service does not guarantee the provision of the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy. Whether or not the subsidy is provided will be determined based on whether the requirements are met and the review by the relevant Labor Bureau.
* For details and the latest information on the system, please check the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website.

Service Overview

Future outlook

Currently, the only course eligible for the subsidy is the "AWS Fundamentals Course," but we plan to gradually add courses on other major cloud services to expand the range of eligible courses. We aim to provide broader and more comprehensive learning support, tailored to the individual career plans and business needs of each participant
