AWS Re-certification

Time passes, and before you know it, three years have raced past and you get the following email:

My Solution Architect Professional certification also renews the corresponding subordinate Solution Architect Associate certification, which I first obtained on the 24th of February 2013 as one of the first in the world to sit this.

This reminder email came out exactly one month before expiry, so I have plenty of time to study and prepare.

With the global pandemic effectively shutting down much of the world, next week also marks 12 months since I was on a plane – the purpose for which was to attend an exam certification workshop to write the items (questions) for the… Solution Architect Professional certification, as a Subject Matter Expert. of course, there are many questions in the certification pool, and each candidate gets a random selection. including some questions that are non-scoring and are themselves being tested on candidates.

I often point my Modis AWS Cloud practice member colleagues at the Certification process training course, on the aws.training site. It gives you a great insight to the thoroughness of the process; it’s quite in depth. This should give confidence to candidates that strives to obtain these vendor certifications – they are discerning, and for good reason – to retain value.
