FAQs
This course is ideal for professionals who want to implement AWS security and who are responsible for maintaining their organization security on AWS across a range of environments.
SCS-C02 is a multiple-choice exam that lasts nearly 3 hours, covering the six domains listed in the Exam section on this page. The questions tend to be scenario-based, testing your ability to apply security concepts in real-world AWS environments.
The exam is designed for professionals with advanced skills in securing AWS workloads. You need to understand AWS Security Services, such as how to use IAM, VPC security features, encryption services, and monitoring services, and AWS Documentation and Whitepapers, including the Well-Architected Framework (Security Pillar), and security best practices.
AWS recommends having at least five years of IT security experience and two years of hands-on experience securing AWS workloads to attempt this exam; for this reason, this exam is considered challenging.
At Firebrand, our time-tested Lecture | Lab | Review method helps you retain essential information faster, leaving no questions unanswered; we also offer ample exam prep and 24-hour lab access. 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.
