This exam is designed for candidates new to Cloud who may not have an IT background. Candidates for this exam could have up to 6 months of exposure to AWS Cloud, but this is not required. The ideal candidate for this exam is familiar with AI/ML technologies on AWS and uses, but does not necessarily build AI/ML solutions on AWS.

Professionals in roles such as sales, marketing, and product management will be better positioned to succeed in their careers by building their skills through training and validating knowledge through certifications like AWS Certified AI Practitioner.

As organizations rapidly transition their business operations to the cloud, professionals with the necessary training and skills are in high demand. Certifications continue to be the primary tool used to validate cloud skills and one of the many used to help close skills gaps. The 2020 Global Knowledge IT Skills and Salary Report revealed again this year that IT professionals and organizations alike recognize the value of AWS Certifications. 

The exam is 90 minutes and you will answer 65 multiple choice/ multiple response questions. This certification is valid for 3 years.

We believe in giving you opportunities to apply what you have been learning and create safe environments for you in the form of Labs. The labs for your AWS course will be delivered through AWS Builder labs. Please be aware that in order to access your materials and Labs it is important that your device and network should not restrict access to AWS or Vitalsource content. For that reason, AWS recommend NOT using a Corporate laptop with any security restrictions in place or the use of a VPN.

If you are new to IT and AWS Cloud, you should first start with AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials or AWS Technical Essentials.
