The ideal candidate for this exam has the equivalent of 2-3 years of experience in data engineering or data architecture and a minimum of 1-2 years of hands-on experience with AWS services.

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 130 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.
