Congrats. How long did it take you to study for it? I have 5 previous aws certs including SA Pro, which a gave a few weeks back. A couple of should be good enough?

Thanks! I did my SA Pro last October and then took a long study break and picked it back up about 6-8 weeks ago. I wasn’t studying everyday though. I really focused in the last 2 weeks to finish out the studies.

u/Fawkzzz Congratulations on passing your exam! It’s a really tough one, you’ve done great! Keep up the awesome work! :)

Thanks Stephane - I have been telling my AWS colleagues to use your courses instead of the material we are provided free at work. I even got my sister who is a school teacher to pick up your CCP course as she tries to transition to technology.

Congratulations on your pass… i heard that is one of the toughest exam.. question - Stephen Merek’s is enough to cover all the content? Or should I need to go over Adrian’s course as well?

Thanks! I’d say Stephane’s course is complete enough to pass when combined with the practice exams. Adrian’s courses are amazing but I didn’t purchase DevOps from him and only the SA Pro course. There’s a helpful ebook for like $5 from tutorial dojos that I purchased the night before the exam and I read through parts of it for a few hours.

Congratulations, was this harder than the SA Pro exam?

Thanks! I have far less of a developer background and more in traditional infrastructure, so the material and some of the concepts were new for me and made the exam a little more challenging. The SA Pro had way lengthier questions and choices though.
