Cloud Academy

Cloud Academy is a hands-on technology skills training platform, now operating as the QA Learning Platform (cloudacademy.com redirects to platform.qa.com). It combines self-paced course content with hands-on labs, learning paths, quizzes, and exams across cloud, security, and software disciplines. Its public REST API lets enterprise administrators integrate the platform with internal business systems — browsing the content catalog, managing organization teams and members, and generating asynchronous reports on learner activity, progress, and skills. Authentication is OAuth2 client-credentials and the public API is rate-limited to 100 requests per minute. Cloud Academy was surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company and enriched into the API Evangelist network from its live Swagger definition.

Cloud Academy publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Learning Management System API, Organizations API, and Reports API. Tagged areas include Company, Training, Education, Learning Management, and Cloud Computing.

Cloud Academy’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cloud-academy: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
