Nice work! I did the 3 associate certs over about 3 months last summer using ACG. I've been in the industry for decades but never bothered to get a cert. Starting a new role and wanting to get into AWS was the impetus to learn; I figured a formal class was a good way to do it, and I might as well set the certifications as my goal.
Really enjoyed ACG and found it quite helpful.
- k__ 9y agoDo you think doing the thee associate exams with 1 1/2 months fulltime learning is possible?
- bproven 9y agoIts possible. I had zero exp with AWS beyond spinning up an EC2 instance and finished all 3 assoc certs in 3-3.5 weeks. However, I wasn't working at the time...
- rconti 9y agoAbsolutely. I have a hard time remembering because I was working remotely part of the time, but I was actually working, so virtually all of my study time was after-hours (hour or two most evenings) over the span of a few months. I had no prior AWS experience and did very little additional work. That said, I do have a couple of decades of sysadmin work under my belt, so most of the concepts were not particularly new.
