How to use CloudCareer for AWS Solutions Architect certification

CloudCareer is our product designed to help you studying and testing your skills for Cloud Computing certification. After 2 weeks we have some data about our users and how they are using CloudCareer to study: all of them are now preparing the AWS Solutions Architect Certification, we’ll release other learning paths during the next weeks.

Testing your knowledge with 250 quizzes in CloudCareer

CloudCareer is available in 2 different versions: BASIC and PRO. The first one is designed for all the people that just need to test their skills before the exam, and are pretty sure about their preparation. The PRO version of CloudCareer gives you also the possibility to study and learn the most important topics about AWS Solutions Architect.
Right now CloudCareer includes learning statements for:

  1. Amazon EC2
  2. Amazon S3
  3. Amazon EBS
  4. Amazon CloudFront
  5. Amazon DynamoDB
  6. Amazon IAM
  7. Amazon RDS
  8. Amazon CloudFormation
  9. Amazon VPC
  10. Amazon ELB
  11. AutoScaling
  12. Amazon SQS
  13. Amazon SWF

We weighted the number of quizzes and learning statements for each topic based on what you will get during your official exam of Amazon. So you’ll find a lot of quizzes about IAM and VPC, since they are core topics and less about SQS or ELB; we have scenario based quizzes, where you need to understand and know how AWS works in order to be able to answer and questions where you need to know exactly how a specific service operates.
From what we see there is no way to pass CloudCareer without having a strong knowledge and a solid preparation.
Once you are in CloudCareer you can start a “path” (you can start unlimited path with CloudCareer PRO) and there you start answering our quizzes. Each quiz has also a learning statement, that means that you can discover immediately why you were wrong (or right); each quiz has a timer of 60 seconds.
This is my CloudCareer with a couple of paths already started.

This is the main page of CloudCareer PRO with all the Career Path that I started

You can use our Tour in order to get an idea of CloudCareer’s functionalities, but it is really simple. You can multiple paths of 250 quizzes, so you can stop and start when you want or reset the path to start answering all the quizzes again. In any moment you can click on “Statements” to get all the learning experience of CloudCareer. We’ll be there in a moment.
Let’s see how a Quiz looks like:

In CloudCareer PRO you have 250 quiz like this, dedicated to single topics

And this is how you learn step by step using our Learning component:

CloudCareer offers a complete learning approach to understand AWS Solutions Architect topics

This way you are learning and testing your skills at the same time. We also give you a link to the official Amazon documentation so you can learn more about that specific topic

Learn new things about AWS with CloudCareer PRO

Learning is the most important component of CloudCareer PRO. Once you are done with testing and you took 2 or 3 paths, you probably want to review all the topics you need to master for the exam and read again all the learning statements.
You can do this with extremely useful filters: you can read or review all the topics were you have been wrong (let’s suppose you don’t know EC2 that well!) or only the single topics you are interested in.

In this case I’m selecting all the learning statements where I was wrong for CloudFront. I got 7 of them which I can easily review.
How our members are using CloudCareer
We got some really interesting metrics about you guys, you are really using CloudCareer to deeply test your knowledge and we are proud to see that it’s working pretty well. Let’s see how a couple of our members have mastered 3 paths to understand and improve their knowledge. In the image below you will find our metrics of 3 members who have been using CloudCareer to improve step by step (Correct quizzes in green, wrong in red and skipped in blue).

I’ll keep you updated on the new versions of CloudCareer and new content that we’ll keep adding on a monthly basis!
