If you've been considering getting AWS Certified, now is a great time to do so! By joining the [Get AWS Certified: Associate Challenge](https://pages.awscloud.com/GLOBAL-ln-GC-Traincert-Associate-Certification-Challenge-Registration-2023.html)* before 5:00 p.m. PST September 29, 2023 you'll receive a 50% discount code for an Associate-level AWS certification exam.
But they do help with the learning process (maybe the exam itself doesn't, but studying for the exam definitely does). And they most definitely help with getting a job.

Regular price for an Associate-level certification exam is $150, and with this 50% discount you'll be paying $75.

There's 3 Associate-level certifications:

- **Solutions Architect - Associate:** Validates your ability to design and deploy secure and robust applications on AWS. It involves architectural design principles, including designing for cost optimization and designing for organizational complexity. Pay attention to networking.

- **Developer - Associate:** Validates your proficiency in developing, deploying, and debugging cloud-based applications using AWS. It covers the core AWS services, uses, and basic AWS architecture best practices. Pay attention to the AWS SDKs

- **SysOps Administrator - Associate:** Validates your experience in deploying, managing, and operating scalable systems on AWS. It covers a wide range of topics, including data management, security controls, networking concepts, and more.


Once you get the discount code, you'll need to prepare for the exam. The best courses that I've found are [Adrian Cantrill's](https://learn.cantrill.io?affcode=212820_ppf2onij). They're really affordable, starting at $40 for an Associate-level certification, and will cover all the exam topics plus some guided examples so you can get real experience. You can get each of the [SysOps Administrator - Associate](https://learn.cantrill.io/p/aws-certified-sysops-administrator-associate?affcode=212820_ppf2onij), [Developer - Associate](https://learn.cantrill.io/p/aws-certified-developer-associate?affcode=212820_ppf2onij) or [Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03)](https://learn.cantrill.io/p/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03?affcode=212820_ppf2onij) courses separately, or purchase the entire [Associate Bundle](https://learn.cantrill.io/p/aws-associate-bundle?affcode=212820_ppf2onij) (all 3 courses for $100 instead of $120).
