AWS Certification is serious about what their certifications represent and signal in the market. They set the tone the moment you visit the AWS training and certification page with the message of “Validate technical skills and cloud expertise to grow your career and business.”1 So, if you’re starting or in the midst of AWS certification exam prep, here’s how you and your team can learn and study smarter, not longer.
Validated skills means you must prove you have the knowledge and can DO the tasks at hand. Technology companies and certification bodies are incorporating more “doing” and “proving you can” exam item types into performance testing (PBT) to validate your knowledge, skills and abilities. This also reduces the threat of exam dumps, cheating, cramming, etc.

Are you preparing the right way?
When it comes to preparing for an AWS exam, three questions you’ll undoubtedly hear or have asked yourself are:
- “Where can I find practice labs for AWS exam prep?”
- “How to get hands-on experience with AWS without experience?”
- “How can I test my skills before the exam?”
Luckily for you, there’s one answer to all three questions:
