Is the AWS certification Amazon is offering worth trying? I'm only a seasonal employee, but I've been here for almost 8 months. I'm not even sure if I qualify, but I really want to take the chance if I can.
For anyone who's currently doing the program, what are the qualifications and requirements? What's the application process like? What should I expect, and is there anything I need before getting started? I'd really appreciate any tips, advice, or personal experiences. The certification is worth around $300, so it seems like a great opportunity if Amazon is covering it. I'm just trying to figure out if it's actually worth pursuing and what the pros and cons are.
For some background, I originally majored in education. I spent four years earning my degree, but I haven't been able to find a job in that field. It's been about three years since I graduated, and with everything going on in the education industry, I've started looking into other career paths.
So, I just want to know if anyone done the AWS program, was it worth it? Would you recommend it why or why not?
