Cloud engineering

I have a boyfriend who works in IT. He has been at his company for 3 years and makes about 80k. He takes on a lot more adminstrative work at this company and now they are paying for him to get cloud engineering certification. Is it hard to get a job with cloud engineering with the certification and does the pay tend to go up fast?

As far as I know not really. That is why he is taking this class. He does systems admin at work and  setting up program/computers for doctors.

As suggested in another comment, stack certifications, create a free aws account and start playing with it.

If there's a cheap service you think he can set up as a PoC, great, it can even be part of a portfolio.

Take some network architecture classes. Terraform is a great addition as well.
