TL;DR — You don’t need an expensive online course!

Hi! My name is Quinn Vissak and I recently passed the AWS SAA exam! Not only is the Solutions Architect Associate certification well-regarded in the software industry, but learning the material is directly applicable to most software engineering roles. Whether you are seeking a way to distinguish yourself from your peers for a promotion, or looking to “hop”, the certification and the process of getting the certification will help further your career.

Having just studied and completed this test, it is my opinion that you don’t need tens of hours of structured online videos that may cost hundreds of dollars. With the right method of studying, the cost of preparation for the AWS SAA-02 exam can be quite low and may even take significantly less time than the recommended 80–120 hours of studying.

How can you get started preparing for your exam?
