Adrian Cantrill – AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02)

Become a Solutions Architect and confidently pass the SAA-C02 certification

Pass the Certification and become a Solutions Architect
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect is one of the most valuable and in-demand cloud certifications available. It covers all of the core AWS services and is a fantastic entry point into the most popular public cloud platform in the world today.

Getting certified can help improve your confidence and get you interviews, but it’s the skills gained along the way which matter long term. With this course, you’ll learn everything you need to pass the SAA-C02 exam confidently, but also gain the real-world skills you need to perform well in an interview and function as a mid-level AWS Solutions Architect.
DESIGNED FROM SCRATCH FOR SAA-C02

I’ve designed the course for the new version of the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) certification originally released on March 23rd, 2020. Rather than updating existing content, I’ve created a course which directly aligns with the new structure, products, services and architectures contained in the SAA-C02 exam. This course is kept constantly up to date (weekly), see below for the most recent update status. (Confirmed Suitability for this exam version)

The course is currently on update #76 ( July 2021) and is 100% valid for the current version of the exam.

IT newcomers or anyone looking to change careers.
Experienced Engineers or Consultants
IT Managers looking to understand their platforms and Environments
Project Managers running or involved with AWS Projects
REQUIREMENTS

No previous AWS Knowledge required
Laptop or Workstation to perform the demo lessons
An email address and credit/debit card for the AWS account(s)
The course stays mostly within the free tier to avoid costs
WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT

PRODUCTION VALUES: The course includes best of class theory, architecture and practical demo lessons. Everything in the course is there for a reason, is produced to a high standard and aids in your learning

ALWAYS CONSIDERS COST: The course starts with by helping you create and setup AWS accounts which you will use for your study. These will benefit from the free-tier giving you free access to AWS products and services up to a certain monthly level.

SUITABLE FOR ANYONE: You don’t need any AWS experience; the course starts by introducing cloud computing and AWS fundamentals at a basic level – ensuring that no student is left behind. What you will need is a computer, an email address and payment card to create the AWS account and a commitment to put in the effort required to pass a challenging exam.
LEARN REAL SKILLS: This course isn’t just about the exam, the AWS Certified Solutions Architect is one of the most valuable certifications available in IT – but obtaining $100,000+ cloud positions will require experience as well as accreditation. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to pass the exam confidently while also having gained enough experience to use AWS day to day and design AWS solutions.

SCENARIO BASED: The course is based around a real-world like organisation Animals4life.org. The theory and demo lessons are structured around scenarios which you will encounter in the real world. Whether we’re talking about serverless applications, data migration and connecting AWS to on-premises environments using a Site-to-Site VPN – the things you learn will be useful in the real world.

RESPECTS YOUR TIME: I promise to respect your time. Everything in the course is either relevant to the exam, or will provide the surrounding knowledge which will help you pass with confidence; while also gaining the practical experience needed to get access to exciting job opportunities. Lessons are never more than 20 minutes and often much shorter – I prioritise efficiency, not duration. Each section includes a quiz helping you retain knowledge, and at the end of the course, we’ve designed a full practice exam which mirrors real-world conditions.

TECHNICAL FOUNDATIONS AND AWS: The course covers the essential architectural concepts as they relate to AWS but also covers the core AWS products featured in the exam in some depth. Topics covered include:-

Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Simple Storage Service (S3)
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Autoscaling and Launch Templates
Database Solutions including DynamoDB, RDS and Aurora
Application Services (SNS, SQS, Kinesis, IOT, SES, Step Functions)
Serverless Architecture (Lambda & API Gateway)
Monitoring, Deployment and Security
ALWAYS ACCURATE/ALWAYS UP TO DATE: I pride accuracy and so commit to keeping the content up to date with regular updates as AWS announces new products or features. Updates will be included in your one-time course purchase so you can study at your own pace.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently pass the associate-level AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam and start getting access to some of the best paying careers in the industry.

DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, WHAT OTHER STUDENTS SAY (Typos ‘n all)

I passed the SAA-C02 on Friday, have done two other 20 hour courses previously, and am dead certain I wouldn’t have passed mine without the demos and depth of explanations and diagrams in Adrian’s course. Adrian’s course above gave me the confidence to schedule and complete the certification.

I am currently taking Adrian’s SAA-C02 course and it is absolutely fantastic. I have access to XXX course as well and all i would say is both are fantastic instructors. I have used Adrian’s SAA-C01 course from LA before, so i am slightly biased towards Adrian 🙂

I’ve taken Adrian’s course and its been by far the best I’ve seen. He makes very detailed content easy to comprehend and has been extremely responsive to students. I cannot recommend any higher.

I am taking Adrian’s right now by far the BEST course for SAA-C02. I highly recommend for those of you who are considering SAA-C02 exam to go with Adrian’s. Best presentation, deep subject matter knowledge and great flow!

I’m taking Adrian’s currently and calling it amazing would be an understatement. He’s clear, precise and explains the concepts very well. Accompanying the lessons are some awesome animated graphics that helps in understanding the concepts quickly. I view this as a course that I’ll refer back even after taking the exam because he mixes in real world tips along with a case study that he develops throughout the course. This is the BEST prep tool out there for SAA-C02 currently, IMHO.

I’ve always been taught to learn the total package all facets and how it all works together. What makes the product and not just touch on this here and there. So for me more is better for me with the learn by doing and THIS COURSE IS AMAZING!!!

Your course is much better because its not just from exam perspective but it takes you on a journey toward real solution architect
