How I Passed 4 AWS Certification Exams in 2 Months (and you can too!) 

The overlap of info in the Associate exams does help to compress the timeline of gaining multiple AWS certs 👍

Thank you for your honesty about SysOps. I noticed people hardly take it and no one talks about it but I found this to be the most difficult of them all. It’s the application and practicality of the exam vs just knowing facts. It’s the only exam that’s solely focused on the Operations aspect and without performing the work - it’s hard to know the most “optimal” way to do a task.

Hi Trevor, I want to let you know that I passed the SA-003 exam on Tuesday. I'm a Microsoft guy who looks forward to changing my career. I have been on-prem for 18 years as a System Engineer. For the last 4 1/2, I have been working in a 100% VDI environment. I love technology and fell in love with virtual technology. I was able to train for this cert while working full-time as a system engineer. I used Adrain Cantrell and S. Merrek video's and used the Tortuial Dojo practice exam. I'm preparing for one more exam for 2022. I love your video brother.

Just got all four of these certs in the previous 4 months. Super excited about it !

Definitely a work smarter strategy! I'm trying the same route with the Azure certs, because of the overlapping.

Really appreciate your content, it's some of the clearest most current info on the SE/SA role out there. I'm going through a career transition at the moment, trying to take my soft skills and put them to work with my general IT knowledge

Great video. Thank you Meet you within 1.5 month ISA after getting these 4 certs on my belt.

Thank You Trevor. I have been planning to take AWS tests and your video has been a great encouragement. I will be taking tests in a month's time frame.

I did cloud prep questions. Did not take the cert so far but feel very good prepared right now.

Can you demo your note taking method and what worked for you? I’m genuinely curious on how folks setup note taking, whether that be Notion, OneNote or writing on paper. If you could take an example slide or two, and take notes on it. Thanks so much!

brother you never despoint right on the spot !!! thank you

I'm doing exactly what you said and it's working perfectly. Stephane Mareek is the best, thank you

Thanks Trevor, I loved your video was amazing for my goals.

Smarter way: if your final goal is to get the SAP cert, get a course and study for Associate level(no exam), study for Professional level and then take the exam. After 3 years, you will renew the Professional level cert, NOT the Associate level. Also, for employers, I think only the Professional level certs are relevant.

No wonder he's called Trevor Spires. He inSPIRES people. 😊

Hey Trevor thank you for the videos, I’ll follow your recommendations for my AWS journey. Just waiting on your developer video since I’ll be tackling that as well. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you, very helpful!

Thanks Man! This helped a lot!

YEAHHH THAT IMPORTANT CAVEAT YOU JUST SUBTLEY CAST ASIDE lol 2:30

Very very helpful advice.

Everybody have an angle. My wife and I are taking the same Udemy course. What are you planning on doing with your certifications? Partnership? Consulting? Employment?

Thanks for your video! I'm struggling with studying for AWS exam. Probably because I'm not currently in IT. I mean I'm ok with Exel VBA but it is probably the closest I get to IT. Do you think it's possible to get into the cloud field from this point or am I waisting my time?

I just passed my AWS CCP certification and I have 20 yrs of IT experience just not sure where to go from here. Studying for my Solutions Architect Associate, but not sure if it's worth it.....

Thank you for your info. +1 sub

Thanks!!

Hi Trevor, please I am coming from Banking experience and want to go into tech-cloud. Please how/which cloud certifications will be good for me? I have little knowledge of data processing

Great videos.

Thanks for the wonderful and informative video. I can't agree more that your content has always been helpful. I have 15 years of experience as a Java Developer and I have worked on variety of Java Front End and backend technologies right from Swing and MV* frameworks , Struts 1.2 , Ejb 2.0 till Spring. Also Worked in Cloud roughly in 2012 and then back since 2019. My question to you is that is it really worth doing a certification or have working knowledge and hands on for AWS ?. I have met a lot of developers who say that they have completed the Aws Certifications. some have even completed 6 of them. But when it comes to working on the production environment and handling real world scenarios , not even one of them succeeded and all were struggling. I do not have any certification from AWS. but I still lead a team of developers and mostly I have to pull them out from these issues by using my limited knowledge. This has worked for me for more than 5 years now. Please let me know if I should still do the certification and which certification to do.. Some specific or the one which has a broader coverage . Thanks in advance

You must b having loads of experience already in that field to clear those certs within such a short time

please share for aws professional architect as wel

I have completed my graduation in English. Please tell me in AWS , how many courses I have to study ?

Hi, am new and in the few next days will try the cloud practitioner, and if i pass it, i will go to the solutions architect. My question is: will we be able to get any kind of jobs, or we just collecting certifications for no reason? Because for the cloud practitioner i learned theory and solving the tests, but not any practical job. I would like to do the job even for free to see how its being done, but amazon offers only theory and certification. Yeah you can say make your account, i have account in aws i see the console n stuff, but i want to see someone having a problem and someone fixing it, not only theoretically

Hi Trevor, I have a Bachelor degree in information technology also AWS solution architect associate, a SysOps associate, a developer engendering professional, and Azure fundamental certification. what kind of career do I have to apply I don't have any IT job experience any advice

Have you tried the challenge labs on Whizlabs?

As a network engineer I wonder how realistic it is for me to just do the AWS Network cert.

Nice content. But your Linkedin profile isn't available 😕

Hi Trevor, after getting the associate level certifications what is your advise on getting jobs and projects to show practical knowledge?. Thanks

Thanks Trevor, what do I need to learn before I jump in AWS certification? I work in social media space so I only have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS .thanks again.

Just my personal opinion, but I wouldn't get Cloud Practitioner if I had the others. It's kind of low level.

This is must to pass all four one or specific one plz

Where do you get all this study information from any helpful links I’m new?

Were you working full-time when you were doing this?!

Hey Trevor, I couldn't find the video of your general study strategy. Would you mind linking me to it?

Your LinkedIn profile isn't available !

After these certification can you get a job

My end goal is aws DevOps. Can I take developer associate cert directly or should I take SAA before developer. Plz throw some light🥺

Did it actually increase your job prospects, I think employers look down up a resume with a lot of unnecessary certs

Everyone says start from cloud practitioner but you start from SA

Am i cute?

2 months if you are expert in the fields lol

WHY ARE THESE RU-vid VIDEOS SO TOXIC. Like I Finshed certificaiton in 7 days. like????????????????? What???

Great Trevor , the LinkedIn link not working. Please check it.
