You are here for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02). Four weekends of class, then you sit the exam. The decks and practice questions live in this portal. Labs are in the IP Lab Portal. Homework goes to MyIP Portal, not here.
What you’ll walk away with
How AWS is put togetherAccounts, Regions, IAM, and who is responsible for what. You need this before any service name will stick.
The Cloud Practitioner examWe teach it in the same order as the modules: compute, networking, storage, security, pricing, then the exam itself.
Labs you click throughEvery student has an IP Lab Portal account. Launch the lab, do the steps, tear it down. Reading it is not the same thing.
Practice examsUse them to find the holes. Do not treat a passing mock as a reason to skip a module.
Homework in MyIP PortalExam Edge and other homework are submitted in MyIP Portal. This portal does not take that homework.
Month 2, laterSolutions Architect stays locked until Cloud Practitioner is done. Finish this exam first.

Ground rules
No question is too dumbIf you are wondering it, three other people in the room are too. Ask.
Interrupt me wheneverThis is a workshop, not a webinar. Stop me the moment something does not click.
Do the labsReading is not the same as clicking. Use the IP Lab Portal. Submit homework in MyIP Portal.
How to move through the material
