I learn by doing and I’m going to work through the online training from amazon

Any tips? I’m going to start with the Cloud Practitioner as a fundamental baseline and go from there

All help and advice gratefully received

I’d be interested in this too from an Azure POV - I’ve been told AWS practitioner certification is the best place to start though.

I went to a testing meetup in Leeds last week and the excellent presenter Usmaan Waheed (Test Engineer at BPDTS) gave the following tips:

- Create a free AWS account! - [[https://aws.amazon.com/console/](https://aws.amazon.com/console/)]

- Acloud guru as a highly recommended learning resource ([https://acloud.guru/](https://acloud.guru/))

- Certifications! - AWS Cloud Practitioner, Associate Levels

Hope this helps!

Hey Rob, did you start looking in to the cloud practitioner AWS stuff in the end? I created an a-cloud guru account and have the course but have struggled for the time lately. Curious to hear how other testers found the course/exam.
