The complete roadmap from Cloud Practitioner to Solutions Architect Pro. Everything you need to choose the right cert, study smart, and pass on your first attempt.
Certifications organized by level. Start at Foundational and work your way up.
The entry point to AWS. Best for non-technical roles and those new to cloud.
Design resilient, high-performing AWS architectures. The most popular AWS cert.
Develop, deploy, and debug cloud-based applications on AWS.
Deploy, manage, and operate AWS workloads. Includes an exam lab component.
Complex, multi-tier architectures. Requires 2+ years AWS experience.
CI/CD, automation, and monitoring at scale. For engineers running AWS at large.
Complex networking tasks including design and implementation of AWS and hybrid IT architectures.
Design, implement, deploy, and maintain ML solutions on AWS.
Specialized data classifications and AWS data protection mechanisms.
If you have no cloud experience, start with Cloud Practitioner. It builds the mental model you need for every other cert.
If you have 1+ year of IT or software experience, skip Cloud Practitioner and go straight to Solutions Architect Associate.
Moving from a non-technical field? Do CLF, then SAA, then pick a specialty based on your target role.
The method that gets people passing on their first attempt.
Download the official exam guide. Know exactly what percentage of questions come from each domain.
A structured video course gives you the mental framework for the whole exam. Don't skip this step.
You need to know 50+ AWS services and when to use each. Flashcards are the fastest way to learn them.
Practice questions reveal your weak spots. Aim for 80%+ on practice exams before booking the real thing.
Don't just count your score. For every wrong answer, understand why the right answer is right.
AWS questions are precise. A single word can change the right answer. Read every option fully.
On hard questions, eliminate 2 wrong answers first. Then decide between the remaining two.
Use the flag feature for questions you're unsure about. Finish the test, then revisit flagged questions.
Many AWS questions ask for the most cost-effective or most resilient solution. These have specific right answers.
Salary ranges based on US market data. Actual compensation varies by location, company, and experience.
