Study Plan: 30/60/90‑day schedules (when available)
Syllabus: learning objectives mapped to domains/tasks
Cheatsheet: high-yield service pickers, limits, and pitfalls

AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01)
AI/ML and GenAI fundamentals + selecting AWS AI services (Bedrock, SageMaker, core AI services) with risk-aware design.

Associate exam hubs

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03)
Design resilient, secure, cost-optimized architectures using core AWS services.
AWS Certified Developer – Associate (DVA-C02)
Build and operate AWS applications: IAM, compute, storage, integrations, monitoring, and deployments.
AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate (DEA-C01)
Data pipelines, lakes/warehouses, analytics patterns, and operational reliability on AWS.
AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C01)

Professional exam hubs

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02)
