Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising the way companies work and interact with their customers. With its recent adoption of Generative AI in their Contact Centers and partnerships with Sage and Mistral AI, Amazon Web Services is ahead of the curve. If you're thinking of reskilling or upskilling to AWS, there's no time like the present.

Here are the top 5 Amazon AWS certification courses to take in 2024.

 

5. AWS Certified Security—Specialty

If you have several years of experience in implementing security solutions, including securing AWS workloads, this popular course, also known as SCS-C02, certifies you have the most up-to-date knowledge of creating and implementing security solutions in the AWS Cloud.

This course gives you a thorough overview of Threat Detection, Incident Response, Infrastructure Security, Data Protection, Management and Security Governance, and other key topics for implementing AWS security.

At Firebrand, this course takes only 3 days, including the official exam. Take a look.

 

4. AWS Certified DevOps Engineer—Professional

This second sought-after course is for those with a few years of experience in provisioning, operating and managing AWS environments, including developing code, automation, and testing; you may already work as DevOps Engineer.

Upon passing the official certification exam (DOP-C02), this professional-level course will attest that you know the most effective, up-to-date techniques to design and manage infrastructure on AWS and support multiple DevOps projects.

The curriculum is, once again, thorough: SDLC Automation, Configuration management and infrastructure as code, Incident and event response, Fault tolerance, Disaster recovery, and more. 

You can take the course on-site, at our distraction-free training centres, or online, through live, instructor-led training. Find out more.

 

3. Certified Cloud Practitioner

Also known as CLF-C02, this popular course appeals to a more genral audience. In order to attend this, you only need to have six months of exposure to the AWS Cloud and a basic understanding of AWS services, use cases, pricing models, and other similar topics.

This course is ideal for those who are just interested in an overall understanding of the AWS Cloud—for example, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Sales and Marketing specialists, Legal specialists, and more.

At Firebrand, this course takes two days. Our AWS-certified instructors explain a thorough curriculum about cloud environments, AWS Cloud infrastructure, services, benefits, core AWS services (compute, network, databases, storage), AWS Cloud migration, security aspects, and more, which enables you to understand this complex package and make the most cost-effective choices for your business.

At the end of the course, you will be able to take the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam to attest your knowledge. Find out more.

 

2. Certified Solutions Architect—Professional

The top courses on this list are two levels of the same sought-after certification, the AWS Solutions Architect.

At Firebrand, we are proud to be an official Amazon Training Partner. Depending on your experience, you can choose to take either of these courses separately or as a package that leads to both certifications. The combined course lasts only 7 days.

At number 2 on our list, the AWS Certified Solutions Architect—Professional course is the more specialised. 

This course is recommended for those with an equivalent level of knowledge to the AWS Certified Solutions Architect—Associate certification or who have achieved that certification itself.

Learners should be familiar with a scripting language as well as AWS CLI, AWS APIs, AWS CloudFormation templates, the AWS Billing Console, and the AWS Management Console.

This course will help you develop the skills and knowledge you need to design dynamically scalable, highly available, fault-tolerant, and reliable multi-tier applications on Amazon AWS. At the end of this course, you can sit the AWS Certified Solutions Architect—Professional exam and return to work certified. Find out more.

 

1. Certified Solutions Architect—Associate

The Associate level of the AWS Certified Solutions Architect course is our most popular Amazon AWS course at the moment. 

This course is designed for those who are familiar with general Cloud Computing and Networking concepts and a working knowledge of multi-tier architectures, whether on AWS or other platforms. If you want to reskill into AWS and transform your career today, this is the course for you.

This course teaches you to work with most AWS systems and integrations and helps you develop the skills you need to build highly available, cost-effective, and secure applications on the AWS platform. You will study cloud architectures, adding layers such as Compute and Database, Networking in AWS, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Automation, Microservices, Serverless Architectures, and more.
