      It's the right time to learn/upskill Cloud.

          What are you after in aws?
          We are aws Partners.

          If you are looking for Cloud Practitioner, then the free courses are everywhere.

          If you are going Solutions Architect Associate or even Professional, better hurry up because the exams are changing very soon.

          • ozmau5 on 13/08/2022 - 21:09

            @Os Os: I was after the Solution Architect one. Thanks, didn't know they're going to change the exams. Will push the company to sign up got me!

              Associate expires on 29 August.
              Professional expires 14 November.

              I am booking as well, wish me luck.

              You can have the discounted Neal Davis aws courses and practice exams from this post.

              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/718495

              Also check your account, you might have a discount voucher if you took exams before.

              Good luck.

        I believe attending these training will provide certification voucher for AZ-900. Do you know if there are Azure certification (AZ-204 or AZ-305) vouchers provided for attending any such trainings?

      Yes It is legit.
      And yes it would be great if you are working in ICT.

      But you will need to build up more in your specialisation in the cloud.

  • MagicOZ on 13/08/2022 - 21:51

    Does it worth it guys? I have AZ900, AI900, DA100, DP900 and few others certificates, but none helped me getting a job. The interviewers either don't care or aren't aware what those certs are. I live in Europe by the way.
    Those Google clouds certs have 2 years validity and 50% discount to recertify. Would I have better chance with no experience and Google certificate? At least for Azure I can confirm, it didn't open doors for me.

    • Justsendit on 13/08/2022 - 21:56

      Get the az500 and do some home lab projects

      • MagicOZ on 13/08/2022 - 22:04

        I can't afford it and I think I will be out of free credit for the labs. All cerfs I even took were bargains I found here. Thanks by the way to the people who keep sharing them.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2022 - 22:05

      did the interviewers say what they are looking for? instead of/alongside your certs.

      • MagicOZ on 13/08/2022 - 22:08

        HR people, they can't even tell me what the job tasks are when I ask them. I applied at bare minimum in terms of skills req. Mostly Data base skills, Data Analysis and anything related. The HR mostly repeat what it said in the job listing.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2022 - 22:10

          I see, gonna look for an entry level ICT/tech job soon to compliment my CS study (half-way done), gonna try do a few certs too as it might help.. : D

    • Os Os on 13/08/2022 - 22:31
      +2

      I believe, since you didn't get your first job, all certificates will be a plus but will never secure you a job.

      As people suggested, try an entry level job, or even look for being an intern even for free.

      Another option is self study and free-lancing on upwork or fiverr.

      You can go for self study in the OP post as it offers you free exam even for the Professional ones.

      I don't know which cloud provider is dominating in your country.
      Look for the best cloud provider and study hard.

      Good luck!

      • MagicOZ on 14/08/2022 - 00:57

        Thanks. This my goal too, aiming low trying the internships listings.

    • ninohax on 13/08/2022 - 23:54

      All employers care about is experience not certifications unless it is a cyber security certification. So would recommend getting into an entry level job(i know it is hard but keep trying) rather than going behind certifications

    • rowanb1 on 14/08/2022 - 00:43

      Experience trumps certs .. try to get the experience first, even if it's just service desk type work

      • tm32 on 14/08/2022 - 09:09
        +1

        Experience is everything. Employers will take 20 years of experience candidates with 0 certs, over someone with 20 certs and 0 experience. Thats the way of it.

        One approach is gain said experience through one of the consultancy ITO firms. It won't be easy, depending on your placement. Be prepared to move on if its presenting any opportunities to get a foot hold in the area your interested in.

    • Freestyle on 14/08/2022 - 06:14

      why are you trying to jump headfirst into cloud roles? you have to work your way up from Service Desk

      • MagicOZ on 14/08/2022 - 06:25

        Who said I did? Tried flexing on roles that require relevant skills. All cloud roles demand previous professional experience, so I avoid them.
        For example 2 years ago I applied for internship in company that does AI stuff with AWS. Programming in Java and learning the cloud. It was relevant in some ways, so I applied. They didn't call me back, but they lose (at least I keep saying that to myself).

    • sien on 14/08/2022 - 11:13

      So, I interview for Cloud / Devops roles about once or twice a year.

      We care about Certs.

      But are far more interested in whether someone can demonstrate their knowledge. We have people who have active AWS Associate Level Certs who cannot answer very well what S3 is. I'm impressed by people who get the AWS Pro level certs, but we don't really care either. You need to know the landscape, but if you're going to do anything you're going to be reading the documentations extensively anyway. The basic ones are the most valuable really.

      I really have qualms about CGP though. In Canberra where I am barely anyone seems to use it. There are real doubt that Google may drop the project. Oracle Cloud is more interesting really.

      What we ideally look for is actual projects on Github that demonstrate an ability to do Infracode, understand and user Containers and are able to write Python or Javascript.

      The best DevOps engineer I've seen had no certs whatsoever. He now works for Canva.

      If you have reasonable skills in these areas you should be able to walk into a job in Australia.

    Any good for non-IT background people wanting to enter an IT job or is it only for someone who understands IT already?

    • MagicOZ on 14/08/2022 - 00:55

      Would be better to have some knowledge before hand. Mostly how computers work, Networking and script/Terminal/CMD/PowerShell understanding. From my experience it's possible, it just takes longer.
