The AWS Certified Developer Associate certification is one of the most challenging exams. It's great at assessing how well you understand not just AWS, but the new cloud paradigms such as Serverless, which makes this certification incredibly valuable to have and pass. Rest assured, I've passed it myself with a score of 984 out of 1000. Yes, you read that right, I only made one mistake! Next, I want to help YOU pass the AWS Certified Developer Associate certification with flying colors. No need to know anything about AWS, beginners welcome!

Excellent course, totally recommend it. I had small experience only with S3 and EC2, and after this course I passed the DVA-C02 exam. Took me a while (about 8 months) because I did not want to rush it, but I'm sure a lot of people can do it in significantly less time.

I just cleared my certification with a score of 830! This course, combined with the practice exams by Stephane, was instrumental in my success. Most of the exam questions focused on Lambda, DynamoDB, and S3, with additional topics covering CloudFront, Elastic Beanstalk, SAM templates, AWS Secrets Manager, SSM Parameter Store, SQS, CodeBuild (testing), and KMS (latency considerations).
If you're preparing for the exam, I highly recommend taking this course alongside Stephane's practice exams—you'll be well-prepared to pass!

Some important topics are barely covered while others are covered in unnecessary detail. The Hands-on lectures provide little to no value for achieving the certificate.

Excellent format, with guided hands-on and quizes at the end of every section. Explains things more in depth than what's needed for the exam, and that helps retain the knowledge. As a 1y+ "learn-by-doing" AWS user, I could relate all of the content to my daily experiences, so it was a great way to fill most of the theory gaps I had and also called my attention to nice extra features/services I'm not using yet.
