But, the most significant benefit of an AWS certification or any other certification is the knowledge it gives you. I have personally learned a lot while preparing for certification, and that’s the preferred way to learn AWS or any other technology in depth.

Once you start preparing for AWS certification, you begin watching more online courses, trying to do more hands-on labs, and start solving more practice questions, all these activities provide a lot of knowledge and experience.

  1. Join an Online course

Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate 2022

The best way to kick start your AWS certification preparation is to join a quality course. Particularly on Udemy and from Cloud Guru there are a lot of useful resources available.

Some of my recommended courses for anyone preparing for AWS solution architect associate certification in 2022:

This is the ultimate course I recommend to anyone preparing for the AWS Solution architect associate level exam on Udemy. It’s created by Stephane Maarek, one of my favorite instructors and another AWS Certified Solutions Architect & Developer.

The entire course has been updated Over 80 videos have been updated to reflect the NEW SAA-C03 exam within a week only. Stephane and team doing their best to cope up with new updated regularly. Talking about this course, it’s also the most up-to-date and comprehensive, and over 30K+ students already benefited from it.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Associate 2022 by A Cloud Guru

I am a massive fan of A Cloud Guru and Ryan Kroonenburg, and as the name suggests, they are really the gurus when it comes to cloud, server less, and AWS certifications. All the people I spoke to suggested this certification course, which speaks volumes about its usefulness. Even in Udemy, the course is trusted by almost half a million students, which is fantastic.

Solve Practice Tests
Also known as practice tests or exam simulators, this is the single biggest thing that can be the difference in just passing the exam or scoring well.

  1. Mock tests have several benefits like:

1. They train you to solve problems in a limited amount of time, which is really important. I know many people who have just got 5 to 10 questions wrong because of time pressure.

2. Practice tests also help you to consolidate and solidify your learning because when you answer the question, your mind works. It recalls and analyzes concepts to answer the question, which helps you to remember the idea longer and also understand it better.

3. Mock tests also help you to find out your preparation level. If you went for the Whizlabs test and found that you can only score 50%, then you not ready for the exam, and you need more study and practice. Similarly, they also help you to pinpoint your weak areas, I mean, where you need more focus.

Now that you know Mock tests are essential, here are some of my recommended practice tests for AWS Solution Architect Associate exams.

Along with online courses, Udemy also has some practice tests sold as online courses that you can use for preparing for the AWS solution architect exam. Out of many AWS SAA-C01 and AWS SAA-C02 Practice tests on Udemy, I recommend these two, both are the most up-to-date tests:

3_These practice exams have been co-authored by
Stéphane Maarek and Abhishek Singh who bring their collective experience of passing 18 AWS Certifications to the table._

4 Jon Bonson’s AWS Solution Architect Practice tests (390 questions)

This course contains 6 practice tests of 65 questions each, goo for your final preparation.

5 Read AWS White Papers
If you want to go one step more, you can also read AWS documentation as it provides the most up-to-date information, which is undoubtedly an essential factor given AWS is still evolving, and there are hundreds of updates to catch up.
