Find the exam you wish to take and click either the Schedule at PSI or Schedule at Pearson VUE button. You will then be redirected to the test delivery provider’s scheduling page, where you will complete your exam registration.

How long will be the AWS certification valid?

You will be required to update your certification (or recertify) every three years.

How many questions do I need to answer correctly to achieve a passing score?

AWS Certification passing scores are set by using statistical analysis and are subject to change. AWS does not publish exam passing scores because exam questions and passing scores are updated to reflect changes in test forms as the content is updated.

When AWS releases a new product or service, how soon will it appear on the exam?

A new product, service, or feature must be generally available (GA) for 6 months prior to it appearing on a certification exam. Note that this applies only to certification exams, not training: training will cover new services and features more quickly. The AWS Certification team wants to ensure candidates have enough time to work with new services and features before they are assessed against the new material.

Recommended Examination Prerequisite

Hands on working in AWS, Exposure to basic security concepts & controls, Completed any AWS associate level certifications
