What Resources Helped Me Pass the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification
Do you have the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam coming up? If so, here’s exactly what I used to pass, even with limited time to prepare:
Tutorials Dojo - AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Practice Exams CLF-C02 2025
Udemy - [NEW] Ultimate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 2025 by Stephane Maarek
Udemy - 6 Practice Exams | AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 by Stephane Maarek
My Study Plan:
I had only 4 days to prepare. Here’s the approach I took:
Day 1:
- Started with Tutorials Dojo Practice Exams to assess my baseline knowledge without prior study.
Days 2–3:
Watched Stephane Maarek’s Udemy course.
The course is fast-paced but well-explained, so I didn’t need to speed up the videos.
I skipped note-taking due to time constraints and treated it as a review, staying focused throughout.
You can complete the course in about 1–2 days, depending on your schedule.
Day 4:
Took Stephane Maarek’s 6 Practice Exams right before heading to the test center.
- I didn’t pass all the practice exams, but they were invaluable for identifying weak spots.
Ideally, I would’ve taken each test twice, reviewed my answers thoroughly, and revisited Tutorials Dojo’s final exam, but time didn’t allow for that.
The Result:
Despite the rush, I passed! 🎉
Recommendations for Those with More Time:
Go through Tutorials Dojo both before and after completing the course for a thorough review.
Revisit practice exams to solidify your knowledge. I only had time to do it once.
If you have more time to prepare, consider using the AWS Skill Builder Cloud Practitioner interactive course. It’s completely free and available directly through Skill Builder from https://www.aws.training/
My Next Steps:
I’m preparing for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification using:
Adrian Cantrill’s courses for in-depth learning and hands-on experience.
Stephane Maarek’s courses as a final review before the exam.
If time and budget allow, I’ll wrap up with Tutorials Dojo for additional practice.
