Certifications

This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive. You MUST seek instructor approval prior to seeking certification.

Note that to pass the class, you MUST obtain at least one certification during the duration of this course.

NOTE: These must be industry-level certifications. Test-out certifications are NOT industry-level, so they will NOT count.

Certification list

As the name of these certs continually change, I won’t try to list all of them and make this list pretty generic. Think of any topic that you feel comfortable with or would like to learn more about, see if there is an applicable cert, get it approved by your instructor.

ALL CERTS MUST BE APPROVED BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR IN ORDER TO COUNT

• AWS CSA
• AWS DevopsEngineer
• AWS SysOps Administrator
• Any of the ‘plus’ certifications (network +, security +, A+, etc…). Other CompTia
• CISCO certifications (CCNA, CCDP, etc…)
• VMware certifications
• CISSP
• CISA
• ITIL
• Security certs (ethical hacking, security +, Owasp)
• Google cloud architect (there are probably other GOogle ones)
• Citrix
• Apple certified associate
• Docker certification
• Kubernetes certification
• Azure (maybe not the intro one)
• Puppet
• Ansible (others from Redhat)

Notes

• If you can find other students desiring to obtain the same certification, it might be a good idea to form study groups and pursue certifications together.
