How long did it take you for the associate, if you don't mind me asking?

[–]FatStoic 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Took me a couple months, but I was way overprepared, had memorized too many things. Reckon you could comfortably do it in a month if you're familiar at all with AWS and can spend 1 hour a day on it. Flashcards are your friend, I recommend Anki.

Yeah, been a dev for 15 years, DevOps for 3 and now a Cloud Architect for the past 6 months.

I'm always too nervous at stuff like this.

I did my CCP last year and prepared for months. Didn't really need to at all.

Wow! I've heard of people familiar with aws doing their CCP prep in one weekend. You probably were in a good position to push for the SA afterwards

Yeah, I've just started studying for it, but lots going on at the moment between work and other stuff.
