Yeah. The solutions architect one is at least

I watched Cloud Guru for a little bit. Then they increased their prices and I realized I don’t learn best from videos so I left. But could be a good start.

There are several great, free courses through LinkedIn Learning (which the firm pays for). Do one or 2 of those, and get a baseline understanding of the names of the services Amazon offers, what each one does, and how they connect. If you’re willing to spend some money, A Cloud Guru is unmatched

A cloud guru is what we used for our very drive. Was able to get enterprise with several seats before the prices went up. Has lots of reports to track progress and mastery for the whole team. Created study groups and a dedicated teams channel for people to ask questions. Also got some additional practice tests.

like

The CCP was like 10 hours of lessons. And the study plan/accelerator is budgeted for 4 weeks, but if folks hit the bench 1-2 weeks is easily doable
