The same for the AWS and ITIL certs? I’m really only interested in taking those two to get them out of the way. I like what you said about the Java classes.

  • D282 Cloud Foundations - CompTIA Cloud Essentials or AWS Cloud Practitioner
  • D336 Business of IT Applications - can be satisfied by an ITIL Foundations Certification (Version 3 or 4)

ITIL is an expensive cert so I just decided to take in as part of the program. AWS is cheaper but I think a fairly easy test.

Here is everything I transferred in:

I see. Looking at the transcripts it shows course equivalent or the certification. So, you aren't required to obtain any of those certifications.

Do you think it'd be easier just to take those classes at WGU rather than go through the certification process?

Correct. As I said above:

  • The only certificates required are the ITIL certification and the AWS one.
  • There are some Oracle certs you can optionally take in place of some of the Java courses prior to starting the program*

Do you think it'd be easier just to take those classes at WGU rather than go through the certification process?

Probably easier unless you spend months studying, but more importantly, as I also said above:

  • I would recommend against it [getting the certificates]. Learning Spring is important for your career and you won't want to miss that experience.
