An essential element of the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate study guide involves understanding the gaps in your knowledge. First, consider what you already know and what you need to know. Where do you have experience in computing or working with cloud services? What basic cloud service types (IaaS, PaaS or SaaS, for example) are you most familiar with? How does this prepare you for the Solutions Architect exam?
Second, take a look at the general knowledge prerequisites. The only prior knowledge recommended for this Learning Path is basic familiarity with core AWS functions. If you know these functions, then you are ready. (If you are new to AWS, or want a refresher, start with the Fundamentals of AWS Learning Path first).
Third, the Solutions Architect – Associate Learning Path naturally builds from AWS fundamentals to more advanced areas. For the best approach, start at the beginning with the first course and continue step by step. Complete each activity in order to ensure that you’re familiar with services like EC2 or DynamoDB. Then, move on to test your knowledge in the labs and quizzes.
You see, there is no secret. Just make sure that you understand the fundamentals of AWS, and go from there.
How long will it take?
This is a natural question. Passing the exam requires being well prepared, and how long that takes depends on where you start.
On average, we recommend approximately 80 hours of preparation for the Solution Architect – Associate Exam, as long as you have some AWS experience. This includes study across all of your resources, including our Solutions Architect Learning Path, and any other resources that you choose. (Here you will find more advice and recommended study resources for the Solutions Architect – Associate Certification). With a full-time job and other commitments, investing 80 hours of study usually takes two months.
If you are entirely new to AWS, we recommend approximately 120 hours or three months to prepare. Start with the fundamentals, and then move to the Solutions Architect – Associate Learning Path.
