• CCP Cert prep help

  My initial thought about Stephane's course thus far, is that he provides a lot of information, so much so that sometimes I found to it tricky to keep track of where he was in relation to stepping through the aws exam guide(https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-cloud-practitioner/).

• Will anyone hire a 33 yo newbie?

  Of course. When I say cloud cert I am referencing AWS or Amazon cloud certifications. https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-cloud-practitioner/ .

• Should I get into AWS?

  I think so. The cloud practitioner certification is sort of the "entry level" cert and by itself might not have a lot of appeal, but it will give you a taste of the ecosystem and how the certifications work. From there you have many options, most of which will be easier with some experience under your belt, but are definitely not impossible for a sharp individual. Source: over 1 year ago

• How can I buy the study materials without the bundle?

  I'd avoid the GFACT altogether if price is an issue (as it is for most of us) AND due to the fact that it doesn't hold any creds for employers. If you're going to study for a cert out-of-pocket, at least go for the GSEC, which is on the DoD approved cert list. Otherwise, if you're looking for an easy low-cost cert that won't land you a job BUT still gets your brain wet with knowledge, check out CompTIA's ITF+ or... Source: over 1 year ago
