# A Quick update: Passed the AWS CCP Exam

I successfully completed the AWS Cloud Practitioner a few weeks ago.  I spent several months studying for this (honestly, maybe a bit too much for how hard the exam was). I used a combination of the Official AWS Training, A Cloud Guru, and practice exams from Whizlabs to prepare for the exam.  Now that I have some base knowledge of AWS it's time to start putting in some work on getting the Solutions Architect Associate.
