FAQs

It's a moderately challenging exam, especially for those new to AWS. To pass this exam, you need to have a solid understanding of AWS services and Cloud Architecture best practices and be able to apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios.

The exam covers a wide range of AWS services and concepts, including computing, storage, networking, databases, security, monitoring, and cost management. You also need to be familiar with a variety of services like Amazon EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, and more.

The exam requires you to complete 65 questions in 130 minutes, including scenario-based questions that need to be tackled carefully, so time management is of the essence.

At Firebrand, the cost of certification exams is included in your course fees. And, in the unlikely event that you need to retake the exam, you can take the course again for free within a year of your first attendance through the Firebrand Certification Guarantee. Why train with anyone else?

Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.

Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.

Firebrand's courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
