The AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate program is the flagship associate certification. It covers designing secure architectures (IAM, encryption, network security), designing resilient architectures (multi-AZ, decoupling, auto scaling, backup and recovery), designing high-performing architectures (compute, storage, database and network selection, caching), and designing cost-optimised architectures (right-sizing, pricing models, storage tiering).
The course is scenario-driven and hands-on: you build VPCs with public and private subnets, deploy highly available applications behind load balancers with auto scaling, choose and configure the right storage and database services, implement security controls, and optimise for cost — preparing you for the SAA-C03 exam and for real AWS architecture work.
The curriculum maps to the four SAA-C03 domains — secure, resilient, high-performing and cost-optimised architectures.
Solutions Architect – Associate suits engineers and architects designing solutions on AWS.
Hands-on with the core AWS architecture services and design patterns this certification demands.

SAA-C03 validates the ability to design secure, resilient, high-performing and cost-optimised solutions on AWS. It's the most popular AWS certification and the one most job postings request.
Not required, but it helps a lot if you're new to AWS. Engineers with hands-on cloud experience often go straight to SAA-C03; we advise based on your background.
It's scenario-heavy — most questions describe a situation and ask for the best architecture. Memorising service names isn't enough; you need to understand trade-offs, which is exactly how our course teaches it.
AWS's set of design pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation and sustainability. The exam domains mirror it, and we use it as the course backbone.
Yes — you build VPCs, deploy highly available applications with load balancing and auto scaling, configure storage and databases, and apply security and cost controls in real AWS labs.
Through Pearson VUE or online proctoring — 65 questions in 130 minutes. We handle registration guidance.
