FAQ
I have a lot of question, because AWS certification is new for me. I passed Microsoft exams but never from Amazon. A lot information you can find in FAQ Amazon section. Available here:
https://aws.amazon.com/certification/faqs/
I’m surprised that there is no required quantity of points which you have to earn to pass. Additionally you never know what is the limit for you. Strange, but it’s another small challenge here. Certification is valid for 2 years. After that you should pass exam once again.
