      Hello,
      I want to prepare for the associate certification. I would like you to tell me the necessary guidelines so I can prepare. Recommended courses in AWS SkillBuilder or other tools or documents that help me prepare and approve it.
      How can you give me the guidelines?
      Regards.

    Hi Greg, thank you for the efforts you put in this videos. I have a question about the AWS SAA exam guide (the pdf document) . In this document there are some sections with "knowledge of ..." and other sections with " skill in ..." certain subjects. Does this mean that you don't have to have practical experience in some subjects and know only theoretically the functioning principles ? Thank you in advance for your reply !

    • @ThoughtfulTechyCloud
      @ThoughtfulTechyCloud  3 місяці тому

      While it's technically possible to prepare for AWS SAA with only theory, you're going to be better served if you also add hands on labs to your prep.

    Awesome, man, really helpful stuff right here. I have a question about the hands-on practice: is it really important for me to get my hands dirty to pass the exam? Of course, I understand that it is imperative to gain more than theoretical knowledge, but my situation is a bit difficult right now. I started learning from a course but upon creating an AWS account, I must have a credit card for even the free tier to work, we don’t have credit cards in my country. So basically could I skip on the hands on experiences for now and pass the exam?

    • @ThoughtfulTechyCloud
      @ThoughtfulTechyCloud  24 дні тому

      Glad you enjoyed the video! Can you pass the AWS SA Associate without doing labs, probably. But if the goal is to get a job working with these services, getting hands on is important. Check my video on AWS Educate which has some free hands on labs you can do:
