The Amazon Web Services exam is designed for IT professionals interested in building a career in solutions architect. The AWS exam is a multiple choice, multiple answer exam that validates your skills and experience configuring, managing, and supporting the Amazon Solutions Architect platform across multiple business environments.
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect is intended for those who have one or more years of hands-on industry experience designing available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems on AWS. In an IT administration role with a concentration in cloud management and exposure to working on the Amazon AWS platform, you’re ready to start preparing for your AWS Cloud Practitioner certification exam.
After you successfully earn your Amazon AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, and gain more IT field experience, you will have options to further specialize in Amazon cloud administration with further certifications. You’ll have options to accelerate your career potentials by earning: AWS Solution Architect Associate, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS SysOps Administrator, and more. Register for our AWS Solutions Architect Certification training course.
Before taking the Amazon AWS certification exam, you should feel confident in demonstrating your knowledge to a potential employer across these 4 core areas:
Understand the design in multi- tier architecture solutions, learn to design highly available and/or fault-tolerant architectures, design decoupling mechanisms using AWS services, and choose appropriate resilient storage.
Select and identify high-performing, elastic, and scalable storage solutions for a workload, select high-performing networking solutions, and choose high-performing data base solutions.
Design secure access to AWS resources, select appropriate data security options, and design secure application tiers.
Identify cost-effective storage solutions, compute and base services, and design cost-optimized network architectures.
The technical skills validated through the AWS Solutions Architect certification exam will help prepare you for IT career opportunities. Amazon Solutions Architects spend their time architecting, building, and maintaining highly available, cost-efficient, and scalable AWS cloud environments. They also make recommendations regarding AWS toolsets and keep up with the latest in cloud computing.
If you have no prior IT experience, and you’re planning out your IT career path, having a well-rounded skillset on servers running both Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS cloud platforms provide the maximum career potential. Getting your foot in the door in IT HelpDesk or IT Support is a great way to get started, giving you access to supporting users running a variety of hardware and software technologies.
CIAT Career Services team provides personalized career transition support to ensure you translate your technical training and industry certifications into viable career opportunities. Our full suite of career services support includes resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, mock interview support, career coaching, and job placement support, and specialty workshops, to help ensure you’re positioned for success.
Typically, students enrolled in our Certificate in Solutions Architect program feel confident taking the Amazon AWS exam after 1 year of hands-on experience designing available, cost-effective, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems on AWS.
The Certificate in Solutions Architect will give you the experience needed in solving problems and implementing solutions using the AWS cloud. Prepare for the exam with our AWS Solutions Architect Certification training course.
Here are four recommended IT certification pathways that kickoff with the AWS certification:
Your Amazon AWS exam voucher, retake costs, and exam prep software, are included in the cost of your tuition for any CIAT Bootcamp, Certificate, or Degree programs. CIAT provides unlimited attempts at passing the Amazon AWS to ensure you start your exam calm and confident, without worrying about what will happen if you don’t pass.
You save hundreds of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses over a DIY studying approach.
CIAT’s National City campus includes secure and authorized testing center facilities, available to local San Diego students and alumni. For our online students, we work closely with you to help locate and facilitate an authorized testing center near you.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CIAT has enabled students to take the Amazon AWS certification exam remotely from the comfort of your own home through Amazon’s new “Test Anywhere” process. Don’t put your goals on hold or push off until normalcy returns.
Studying for the Amazon AWS certification on your own is doable, but often leaves you without the required technical skills in your background, or the necessary resources to translate your exam score into an IT career.
