Did I mention: pass your AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification the first time you take it?

Why take this course?

"Strongly recommended. More effective than many courses ten times the price."

If you want to learn about AWS from they guy who wrote the book (AWS for Dummies, Dummies Press) about it, you've come to the right place! I'm Bernard Golden, and WIRED named me one of the ten most influential people in cloud computing. The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate truly is all you need to pass the certification exam and become Amazon Web Services Certified. But it’s far more than that. It’s the entry portal to your mastery of AWS -- today’s most important computing platform. AWS is the fastest growing technology offering -- ever -- and this course covers it in depth. If you're ready to take your career to the next level, this is the course for you!

Here's what some previous students had to say about my course:

"This course is the best tool for someone who wants to get the certification. "

"This one of the best course not only on Udemy but on the internet"

"Had an awesome experience with the course and I already recommended to my friends."

"Very well presented. Much better than most Udemy courses."

"I loved learning with these videos. I am a trainer myself, I can say these videos are very well made."

"Surprised at how much good information was packed into this. If you've never spent any time in AWS, prepare to be amazed."

"Excellent course for AWS."

The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate gives you everything you need to succeed with AWS:

  • It’s comprehensive: It covers all the AWS services, so that you learn the breadth of the AWS offering and understand how they all interrelate and support one another.

It also provides deep dives into the core AWS services so that you develop a full set of skills in EC2, S3, VPC, and IAM. And it’s constantly updated -- which is important, given that AWS released 1300+ new services or service improvements in 2017 alone!

  • It’s comprehensible: I’m sure you’ve shared my experience in trying to learn a new technology and being overwhelmed by jargon and complexity. In this course I’ve applied all the skills I learned in writing two best-selling cloud computing books in how to make technology comprehensible.

But wait, there’s more! I’ve also leveraged the power of the Udemy platform to show as well as tell. And it’s all presented in a way that makes it easy for you to understand AWS services.

  • It gets you ready for the Solutions Architect Associate certification exam. Naturally, the course gives you all the knowledge you need in a comprehensible format. That provides the foundation for your certification exam. But the course also contains exam tips in every section that discuss the specific knowledge you’ll need about each service to answer the certification questions. And there's even a practice exam at the end of the course that contains questions just like the ones you'll see in your actual AWS certification exam.

  • It launches your AWS career: Taking this course is the best way to prepare for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate Certification exam -- and transform your future.

In the course I discuss this certification and share survey data that shows it as the most desirable -- and best paid -- certificate in the industry. Average salaries for certificate holders are well over six figures US, and they’re in high demand all around the world. The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate course gets you ready to pass the certification exam on your very first try. What more could you want?

If you:

  • Want to learn all about AWS and its amazing portfolio of services

  • Do a deep dive into the most important and widely-used AWS services

  • Build our a real-world application that uses those core services to show how AWS enables resilient and dynamically scalable applications

  • Learn everything you need to know to pass your AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification

The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate is for you.

I look forward to seeing you in the course!

P.S. Every student has access to my "Five Must-Have AWS Certification Tips" ebook, which gives you five strategies to improve your AWS certification exam test scores. Be sure to look for a link to the ebook in the confirmation email you receive when you sign up for this course!

Looks like this is the first course on AWS which is laid out with the right intro and path. Wish I had previewed this earlier .

This was obviously recorded back in 2017. Bernard claims that it is uptodate for 2019. Yet he still talks about the BETA cert. test - which _must_surely_ by now by the only test. The AWS UI is significantly different to the one displayed in his videos, so as a novice AWS user, it can be easy to be a bit lost. Some of his course files are either missing or out of date and for the WordPress project exercise, the Amazon Linux AMI, nor its update repository, contain the relevant PHP version to enable the latest WordPress to be installed. Consequently one needs to know how to play with the shell scripting and to determine which version of WordPress _will_ work with the AMI. All in All, IMHO, the course needs updating. Other than that, the content is good, plentiful, detailed and helpful. But "Ultimate" might be a step too far at this point.

Pros: Exam Tips are helpful in summarizing. Progress is evenly spaced. Activities are easy to follow (most of the time). Voice is clear. Content is thorough. I feel pretty prepared for exam material so far. Reviews have been helpful. Explaining what an Image was and other concepts was helpful. Cons: Audio is not even -> LOUD and the quiet, yet the voice is monotone, so it's simply the audio levels rising. Slides are heavy with words from Amazon's own definition, but it is better to show it an easier way to understand. Sometimes I fast forward when Bernard is simply reading off a definition until he explains it in his own words. I don't have Linux installed, so "chmod" doesn't work. I can't follow along when interacting with instances through the console. There are also new features (mainly tags and interface updates) that are making it sometimes difficult to follow the activities. Overall, I would encourage Bernard to go through his videos and re-edit any issues with audio, out-dated instructions, and perhaps redoing some really wordy slides. I can't read that much while also listening.

I have taken a couple different AWS Solution Architect courses. All of them have their strengths and all are missing something or lack info in an area. I found this course was the best one I have taken. I like the way Bernard presents the material, runs through the examples and then has you run through an exercise at the end of each section. I have 30 years experience in C++ development and had both my Microsoft MCSD and MCSE 20 years ago, so my experience with this course may be from a different view. My recommendation for this course would be to have a test quiz (like the final one) after each section. I believe this would help with areas needed to work on and would allow an individual to go back and fill those knowledge gaps before continuing to the next section.

Bernard Golden course is well paced and exhaustive but it is not up to date (writing this review in May 2019). For example, "Provisioned IOPs (SSD) volumes can deliver up to 64000 IOPS" as indicated in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html?icmpid=docs_ec2_console when this course states section 8, slide 17, "Up to 20K IOPS". If your aiming on taking the certification exam, I would recommend to purchase this course only if it is updated to reflect the current service offer of AWS.

I like the brief descriptions on every topic. Great, if there are diagrams for tricky topics like VPC where multiple flows are possible. Thank you for great lectures.

I loved this course! It was thorough and comprehensive. The lessons were separated into easy to watch pieces and flowed into the next lesson very easily.

For me I like this course. The instructor speaks slow and seems to make a comprehensive effort to explain the concepts catering to the viewer without getting over complicated. Also his examples are such that you can get a grasp on real world application and not just for passing an exam.

Very great explanation of overview of content, great visual aids and getting a very strong sense of confidence in his skills.

Very good overall but Route 53 Lectures were not good. I had to depend on external sources to understand them

It is great that you lay the framework of the training. It is also nice that you show how to bypass topics - for a person who is not quite a beginner.

This course is certainly laying out all of the basics. I would have liked a few more real life examples, like pointing us to a URL with real life bucket policy examples for the bucket along with one the targeted specific objects in the bucket. Would have also like to see more time spent on logging all events in an s3 bucket and how to send those logs to cloud watch.
