A Cloud Guru

A cloud. guru has been around since 2015, which is a long time in cloud years. A cloud. guru has courses for most of the AWS certifications. They have a few other courses unrelated to certifications that are also quite good. Linux academy used to be another good resource to prepare for the certification exam, but that got acquired by A Cloud Guru, which means now you can access the best of these in one place.They constantly update and refresh their content, which is good because AWS constantly changes its certifications to align with new services and features. Sam and Ryan Kroonenburg, two Australian brothers, started the company in Melbourne, Australia. Initially, Ryan was the instructor for all the courses, but they now have many other experts on their staff to help with the course load.They used to charge by the course, but a few years back, they changed their model to a monthly subscription, and sign up for it gives you access to the whole site. The training can be accessed here: https://acloud.guru/.

1. A cloud guru is the site used the most to prepare for my certifications. Following is the recommendation for tackling the training:

Unless you have previous experience with the covered topics, watch all the training videos at least once. If it’s a topic you feel comfortable with, you can play the videos at a higher speed, and then you will be able to watch the full video faster.

1. For video lessons that you find difficult, watch them again. You don’t have to watch all the videos again – only the ones that you found difficult.
2. Make sure to take any end-of-section quizzes.
3. Once you finish watching the videos, the next step is to attempt some practice exams. One of my favorite features of A cloud. guru is the exam simulator. Keep taking practice exams until you feel confident and consistently correctly answer a high percentage of the questions (anywhere between 80 and 85%, depending on the certification).

The questions provided in the exam simulator will not be the same as the ones from the exam, but they will be of a similar difficulty level, and they will all be in the same domains and often about similar concepts and topics.By using the exam simulator, you will achieve a couple of things. First, you will be able to gauge your progress and determine whether you are ready for the exam. I suggest you keep taking the exam simulator tests until you consistently score at least 85% and above. Most real certifications require you to answer 75% of the questions correctly, so consistently scoring a little higher should ensure that you pass the exam.Some of the exams, such as the Security Specialty exam, require a higher percentage of correct answers, so you should adjust accordingly. Using the exam simulator will also enable you to figure out which domains you are weak. After taking a whole exam in the simulator, you will get a list detailing exactly which questions you got right and which were wrong, and they will all be classified by domain.So, if you get a low score on a certain domain, you know that’s the domain that you need to focus on when you go back and review the videos again. Lastly, you will be able to learn new concepts by simply taking the tests in the exam simulator. Let’s now learn about another popular site that I highly recommend for your quest toward certification.You can also explore other training providers such as Cloud Academy and Coursera. However, you don’t need to sign-up for multiple course providers.
