Guys,
Just back from the exam center and my first AWS cert under the belt.
AWS CCP is a foundation exam covering a high level skim over the top of the various AWS services. As a head of a technical department it gave me the information I needed to have a conversation with a client and not get lost in the AWS terminology.
Steps Completed:- Linked a AWS certification A/C to my existing Amazon a/c (free)
- Subscribed to the AWS CCP training series (free) - watched the series, took pages of bullet point notes
- Downloaded the recommended study guides and studied them - Overview, Pricing Overview, TCO, Exam Guide (free)
- Scheduled the exam through AWS\PSI ($100)
- Bought the Whizlabs CCP Exams (3 x 65Q) and ensured strong passing grades (see image below) ($15)
All in all about 20-30 hours of effort & $115 cost, the exam was straightforward, very much a knowledge based exam as against a "try and catch you out" exam. I also read through the ACloudGuru and Linux Academy CCP forums for additional exam guidance and feedback.
HTH.
