Judith AWS Student

I enrolled in the 12-month plan and passed a total of 5 exams! I express all my respect and gratitude to Digital Cloud Training for delivering such incredible materials. Sharp, Deep, Clean, Up-to-Date.

Charles AWS Student

I want to give huge thanks to Neal. He’s the best instructor. I have literally tried all AWS instructors. None of them provide such quality content. Let alone providing the guided hands-on lessons.

Thomas AWS Student

These powerful training resources gave me the confidence to pass the real exam. Neal has put a lot of efforts into his training materials which cover all the concepts you need to know for the exam.

I must say that in terms of detailed and logical description and break down your trainings courses are second to NONE. Simply the best! You also displayed a very stealth and solid technical expertise. Excellent job.

Nikolay AWS Student

Just passed my 2nd exam with a solid score and found that these courses were super helpful. I tried some other courses but these practice questions were most similar to the AWS exam and the exam cram sessions were invaluable.

Julian AWS Student

These are by far the best training courses I've come across. The scenario-based questions mirror the real exam question with detailed explanations and reference links. Definitely a great way to prepare for the exam!

Mounir AWS Student

Neal is a very professional teacher. The materials are taught very clearly and it’s so well organized. I was having the best experience preparing for the exam. I would suggest all students to take Neals courses. You guys are missing out.

Just passed the SAP-C01 exam and could not have done so without Neal's courses. I spent a good deal of time with another provider, but their materials and practice tests alone would not have closed the knowledge gaps.

Brenda AWS Student

I love the way Neal helps me understand the difficult concepts about all the AWS services. No other provider offers such organized, detailed and well explained content. Excellent courses and highly recommended!

There are 3 different levels of AWS certification: Foundational, Associate, and Professional. The specializations sit alongside the other certifications and focus in much more depth on particular job skills.

AWS Certification and Training

AWS jobs can be highly rewarding and lucrative and the job market is very competitive. Becoming AWS certified is a great way to demonstrate to employers that you have skill and competency with the AWS cloud. AWS certifications are role-based so you will learn the skills needed in specific job roles such as Solution Architects, Developers and CloudOps Engineers.

This depends on your current knowledge level and experience. If you’re completely new to cloud computing or you are not from a technical background you should start with the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. If you have an IT background and wish to start with a more challenging certification, you may start with the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate.

The most popular certification is the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate followed closely by the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. It’s worth noting that though these are great certifications to get there are many certified individuals already. Gaining one of the less popular certifications like the Developer Associate or CloudOps Engineer Associate (or even better, the Pro level certifications) can be a good differentiator. We recommend earning all of the associate certifications as there is a lot of overlap between them.

In short, no. You can gain most AWS certifications without being competent in any programming language. However, having some coding knowledge can be useful for certifications such as the Developer Associate and DevOps Professional. In our courses, we do not assume you have any programming knowledge and supply all code samples for you to use.

There are no prerequisites at all and you can take any AWS certification exam at any time. We do recommend that you follow a learning path so you build your skills up from the foundational level, through associate, and then onto professional level certifications. This is not a requirement though and many students start at higher levels if they already have knowledge and hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services.

While there are lots of free AWS training resources available, the AWS certification exams are not free of charge. The cost of certification exams is different for each level:

  • Foundational level: $100 USD
  • Associate level: $150 USD
  • Professional/Specialty level: $300

If you have previously passed an AWS certification exam you get a 50% discount on the next exam. This really helps when moving up to higher-level certifications.

AWS Certifications are valid for three years. To maintain your AWS Certified status, you need to recertify in order to retain your certification.

There are a wide variety of job roles for AWS certified individuals. Those who work in non-technical roles such as managers and project managers can use AWS certifications such as the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner to help them get jobs in companies that use AWS services. If you’re a Solutions Architect, Cloud Architect, Developer, DevOps Engineer, or CloudOps Engineer, there’s a certification for you that will help you move into exciting cloud roles. The specialty certifications are also useful for those looking for more specialized roles such as Database Admins, Data Analysts and Security specialists.

This can vary from just a couple of weeks for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner to a few months for some of the harder certifications like the Associate, Professional, or Specialty certifications. Study time also varies depending on how much time you allocate for study daily and your starting level of knowledge and experience. We supply study plans with each course that you can use as a basis for planning your time.
