Just wanted to let you know, I spent two days doing this course, following everything you did. Passed my AWS Cloud Practitioner exam in 35 mins on the first try. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.

[tmach]

Andrew, my sincere gratitude to you, freeCodeCamp, and your entire team for marking this video available to people like me. I passed my CCP exam by watching this video and practice exam questions( exam date: October 25, 2022). With no prior knowledge of AWS, I studied for only 2 weeks and watched your video 3 times. Thank you all.

[kimkarnsbond]

Just passed today, thank you! I would not have made it without this video (I’m a Program Manager). Now on to Solution Architect...

[PrettyEinstein]

I passed this exam today using only this learning resource. I listened to (not watched) this video two and a half times. I'd listen during my commute to work and when doing chores like the dishes. I also took a few free online practice tests. I've worked in IT for 4 years.

[jonathanbrewer]

This video is spot on. Studied for 1 week, 1x a day. Focused on 2:45:00+, gives you most of what you need to know. Passed, no prior in-depth experience with AWS. Thanks for the great video!

[SomaTripathy]

Andrew - You are doing a ton of service by providing free AWS content. THANK YOU!!! I cleared the exam in my first try with absolutely no background of cloud whatsoever by studying about 2 hours everyday for 6 days and giving 3 practice exams on the 7th day while also taking the exam the same day. My study plan was as follows
1. I went through your video twice and all hands on once to understand the AWS console (strongly recommend to do the "follow alongs").
2. Went through the AWS cloud practitioner essentials (2nd edition) videos once (It's free and is present in the AWS portal).
3. Gave 3 practice exams before sitting for the main exam.
In my opinion this much should be enough to clear, however consistency is the key. I would suggest everyone to study everyday for at least 1-2 hours in order to not lose momentum. Hope this helps.

[mukulsharma]

Passed my exam today 26-June-2021, the content is still relevant to pass the certification.

[followjesus]

Hey I don't know if anyone will see this, but this guy seriously helped me prepare. I've always loved IT and cloud tech, decided to practice while also watching this video and some other miniscule tutorials....in 2 weeks I got my AWS cloud practitioner certification and honestly dude, thank you. You're so clear and precise and straight to the point with info. It helped me on parts I was struggling and I'm now certified. Thank you so much! I'm currently watching your video for solution architect associate! Wish me luck and good luck to all of you out there!!!

[adolfndih]

Your video is still relevant. I went through it once, took some test questions, quickly looked at your slides again and then I took the exam and passed. Did all that in 6 days. Thank you! (12/20/2021)

[micahcurry]

fell asleep and woke up to this guy saying I'm ready to take my exam

[tareqalsaleh]

I just wanted to thank you for making this video, i just passed my exam with 867 score. This video helped me fill in the gaps in my knowledge. Incase someone is wondering what material i used to study.
1- AWS's skillbuilder course that is free
2- this YouTube course
3- stephan merek's exam questions on Udemy (paid)
First time i did the exams i only get 50 and didn't pass on any of them, i kept doing them until i passed most of them, and i did the exam. And i just got my badge.

[akinyeleakindoyin]

I wanted to share that I passed my AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification Exam. Thank you for your efforts .I really appreciate this. Thank you so much.

[tomsteiner]

Just passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam on the first try. My steps: (1) Watched the whole 4 hour video in 4 different sittings @ ~1 hour each (2) Did a practice exam ($20) (3) Skipped through this YouTube video again to basically read through concept/high-level definitions. (4) Took the Pearson VUE online test and passed in about 43 minutes. I greatly appreciate this video. Thank you!

Note: Since many of you ask about prior experience, I did work with AWS in 2011-2013 in selling it to the public sector. I literally held meetings with clients, presented our Professional Services capabilities, wrote proposals, and closed the deal. So did have some background knowledge which I was able to build upon from 7 years ago.

[Angvard]

This course is still relevant in 2022.

I have passed my exam today.

What I did:
I watched this video in three sittings (about 80 mins each), taking notes yesterday

[xf]

[andrew]

I watched the video for 2 weeks and passed my AWS Cloud Practitioner...Out of the 65 questions, this video addresses 59 questions directly especially the part after about the hour 20 min mark....

[BruceLampson]

I took my certification exam today and this video was the only source of training needed for passing the exam. Thank you, Andrew!
