AWS certification questions

Which AWS cert should I take first?

If you have any AWS exposure at work, start with AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03). If you are completely new to cloud, start with AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02).

How long are AWS certifications valid?

Three years. AWS sends renewal reminders, and you can recertify by passing the same exam (or a higher one in the same track).

Are AWS exams available in my language?

Most associate / foundational AWS exams are offered in English, Japanese, Korean, German, Portuguese (BR), Spanish, French, Chinese, and more. Confirm at booking time.

Do you cover the Professional and Specialty exams?

Yes — AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02), Generative AI Developer – Professional (AIP-C01), and Security – Specialty. Note: AWS retired SCS-C02 on December 1, 2025 (the current exam is SCS-C03); the Security – Specialty app still follows SCS-C02. There is no StudyKits app for Solutions Architect – Professional.

Are these apps affiliated with AWS?

No. StudyKits is independent. AWS, Amazon Web Services, and the certification names are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc.
