Overview
On this accelerated AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate certification course, you'll learn the skills you need to build highly available, cost-effective and secure applications on the AWS platform.

- Architecting for the cloud best practices

"I had failed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam multiple times before coming to Firebrand Training. The OIL course was great and the Instructor was very clear and helpful. I took the exam again straight after finishing the course and PASSED! I was a lot more confident in the exam because I now understood all of the concepts being presented in the questions."
Sam Phillips, Tecflair. (1/3/2021 (Monday) to 4/3/2021 (Thursday))
"The instructor knew his stuff, the course content was perfect and the pace of the course was just about right. I went from knowing nothing about AWS to passing the certification exam."

"Intensive deep knowledge training by a very positive and motivated trainer.
The instructor really helped me get my head around AWS, and define solid basements for the certification.
Outstanding flexibility & creativity facing the audiance as he needed to face strong network/security guys of the same company, with weak system/db background."
