AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate: Complete Course

Welcome to the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Complete Course!

Where you’re going to learn how to get started with AWS as a solutions architect so you can pass the exam and officially get certified.

I want to congratulate you for making the decision to get certified as a solutions architect.

In this practical, hands-on course our main objective is to give you education not just to understand the ins and outs of AWS, but also to learn exactly how you can apply what you learn to real world scenarios.

Blending practical work with solid theoretical training, we take you from the basics of AWS to mastery, giving you the training you need to get certified as a solutions architect.

And we understand that theory is important to build a solid foundation, we understand that theory alone isn’t going to get the job done so that’s why this course is packed with practical hands-on examples that you can follow step by step.

According to Glassdoor, the average salary for an AWS Solutions Architect in the United States is over $125,000 per year. This is a fast-growing industry with high demand for certified professionals.
