Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

I receive yet another certification.

I just passed yet another exam and received yet another certification. Contrary to advertisements, the exam was full of trick questions and didn’t test knowledge of the subject matter. Nevertheless, that is the certification industry, and it is a big $$$ indu$try.

I find it a shame that these types of things don’t seek to provide knowledge and learning and improve professional practice. I suppose I am naive.

Which certification? Amazon Web Services Certified Solutions Architect – Associate level. I did learn much about AWS while preparing for the exam. I didn’t learn anything new about the certification game while taking the exam.
