Why get certified?
Getting certified shows that you have some of the most in-demand and profitable skills in the industry, though there are countless certifications to choose from. Cloud providers — such as AWS and Azure — offer foundational certifications, which are designed to validate a candidate’s overall understanding.
Foundational cloud certifications for beginners include AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals.
What’s the most effective way to learn for a certification?
Theory is great, but there’s nothing like getting reps on real deployments to make you ready to ace the next cert exam — and as you might know, more and more exams have lab components — making it key to get hands-on practice to fully create those connections in your neurons.
Check out some of our most popular certification learning paths:
- AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification Preparation
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect Certification Preparation
- Preparation for the (ISC)² CISSP Certification
- Exam Preparation: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies AZ-500
