Estimate: 1 Minute Read

Recently passed the AWS CCP (91.7% 😀) exam after one week of studying. There are many guides like this on the Internet, but nevertheless here are the resources I used.

  • Bachelors in IT
  • Masters in IT (1 last semester)
  • HelpDesk/Sysadmin for ~3 years (on-prem)

And lastly, my rough notes. These notes cover all 6 hours of the AWS video course and Udemy practice exams.
