You were preparing for several months and it paid off. What is the certification process?
I started the course in spring 2020 and I usually spent my evenings studying. Since October, I started with more intensive preparation for my final test. If I failed the exam, I would have to take the whole course again. So I didn’t want to underestimate anything. The test itself took place online under strict restrictions (an empty room, no snacks, papers, pencils or mobile phone). However, I appreciated this opportunity even under these conditions because I could be at home in my own environment and I didn’t have to go to the test center.
The preparation for AWS certification is specific. Currently, there is no selection of courses available in the training center as with other trainings. This is not an interactive course with a tutor but it takes the form of self-studying through video courses or literature from other architects. Amazon also has a very well-developed web portal where the study materials are available. The advantage is also the possibility to create an account within the AWS Management Console where all services are available for 1 year free of charge. So I was able to try the individual tools in practice.
