Hello, I want to prepare for the associate certification. I would like you to tell me the necessary guidelines so I can prepare. Recommended courses in AWS SkillBuilder or other tools or documents that help me prepare and approve it. How can you give me the guidelines? Regards.

[@DOUMIBRA]

Thank you man for these great resources, especially the one to get a digital badge. I'm a RHCSA, and studying right now for AWS Solution Architect Associate. The goal to get the knowledge first and exam follows!!! The sky is my limit.... Best,

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Excellent mindset! That digital badge is free too. Can earn that before the cert if you’d like 🙌

[@saravanansaibaba8374]

Mr. Powell, Learn a lot today about some of the free resources that are available to prepare for the certification in a structured way. Just came across your channel today and subscribed right away. :). Great content. Nice and crisp, no noise at all. Thanks for putting it all together.

You just might be my favorite channel on this topic!

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Wow, thanks! See you in the next video 🙌

[@ricardo3671]

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I'm about to write the exams in a few days time and this will really help. Like you said, there are too many sources out there but thank you once more for narrowing it down for us

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rutokim6040]

Thank you so much, you have always been my inspiration to take this Solution Architect Exams, I am going to commit fully with this resources to revise and hopefully next year January I will certify.

[@aya2222]

Thank you for your helpful video! I was thinking of buying a course on udemy before I watched your video but now I decided to follow your path!

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nadav1ktz]

Thanks for all of that invaluable information! By the way, it seems like 'Solution Architect Knowledge Badge Readiness Path' doesn't there anymore.

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

It's still there explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/public/learning_plan/view/1044/solutions-architect-learning-plan

[@salilchincholikar]

Hey man, I've been following you for a while on LinkedIn. Thanks for all the content that you share. I had one question, are these similar methods/courses available for AWS Certified Developer Associate as well?

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Hi! Have some AWS Certified Developer Associate resources for you: skillbuilder.aws/exam-prep/developer-associate

[@eddyelamin9015]

Awesome, man, really helpful stuff right here. I have a question about the hands-on practice: is it really important for me to get my hands dirty to pass the exam? Of course, I understand that it is imperative to gain more than theoretical knowledge, but my situation is a bit difficult right now. I started learning from a course but upon creating an AWS account, I must have a credit card for even the free tier to work, we don’t have credit cards in my country. So basically could I skip on the hands on experiences for now and pass the exam?

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Can you pass the AWS SA Associate without doing labs, probably. But if the goal is to get a job working with these services, getting hands on is important. Check my video on AWS Educate which has some free hands on labs you can do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJbRn395jL2nick

[@muratucak6689]

Hi Greg. Thank you for this great content. I wonder something: why do AWS or Microsoft not create practice exams page where we can test our knowledge. A Twenty- question exam simulation is not enough to get prepared.

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

Hello! Which AWS certification are you considering?

[@anisanis-yb2zx]

Hi Greg, thank you for the efforts you put in this videos. I have a question about the AWS SAA exam guide (the pdf document) . In this document there are some sections with "knowledge of ..." and other sections with " skill in ..." certain subjects. Does this mean that you don't have to have practical experience in some subjects and know only theoretically the functioning principles ? Thank you in advance for your reply !

[@ThoughtfulTechyCloud]

While it's technically possible to prepare for AWS SAA with only theory, you're going to be better served if you also add hands on labs to your prep.

[@divyaraj-rana]
