AWS Certifications

AWS offers 13 certification programs, which are broken down into four categories:

  • Foundational — these are for complete beginners.
  • Associate — these build on your foundational cloud knowledge.
  • Professional — these aim to get you job-ready for advanced positions.
  • Specialty — these focus on specific domains, such as machine learning.

To earn a certification, learners have to pass a certification exam. These can be taken online or in a testing center. The foundational certification exam lasts 90 minutes and costs $100, while most professional and specialty certifications last 180 minutes and cost $300.
