1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,590 ‫So now is the time to sign up 2 00:00:01,590 --> 00:00:03,030 ‫for your certification. 3 00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:05,040 ‫And for this you go to this website, 4 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,050 ‫aws.training/certification 5 00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:08,700 ‫and then you click on sign in. 6 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:09,900 ‫You have to create an account 7 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,430 ‫for Amazon or sending user accounts 8 00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:13,620 ‫but as you mentioned, it's not for AWS 9 00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:15,840 ‫it is an Amazon account, so make sure you have one 10 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,540 ‫but you can just create one, it's fairly easy. 11 00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:20,940 ‫After you sign in, you're redirected to the screen 12 00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:22,620 ‫and then to get your certification 13 00:00:22,620 --> 00:00:24,900 ‫you click on go to your accounts. 14 00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,380 ‫Okay, so I am now on the training and certification homepage 15 00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:30,960 ‫and I want to register for an exam. 16 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,600 ‫So you click here to register for an exam 17 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,790 ‫and you'll have access to the exam list 18 00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,220 ‫as well as a schedule option. 19 00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:40,110 ‫Now just so you know, in the next video I go 20 00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:42,600 ‫over the benefits tab, so watch the next video as well 21 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,160 ‫before you schedule your exam 22 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,440 ‫because I show you how to get 50% discount 23 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,790 ‫on your next exam. 24 00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:48,930 ‫This is a benefit you get 25 00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:52,740 ‫once you successfully complete an AWS certification. 26 00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,830 ‫So back in here into registering your exam. 27 00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:59,130 ‫So we can schedule any of these exams. 28 00:00:59,130 --> 00:01:01,770 ‫For example, I can select developer associates. 29 00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:03,990 ‫I will schedule it with Pearson VUE 30 00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:06,900 ‫which is the only option now online. 31 00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,790 ‫And then I have two options. 32 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:12,840 ‫So we have either the option to select a home office 33 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,510 ‫or to select a testing center. 34 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:16,470 ‫So let's have a look. 35 00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:19,620 ‫So here we can, for example, take it at a test center 36 00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:22,530 ‫in which case you need to bring your photo ID 37 00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:24,300 ‫and you have like some expectations 38 00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:25,920 ‫regarding your personal items. 39 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,940 ‫And then in that case, 40 00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:29,700 ‫well you need to select the language you want 41 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:33,000 ‫and then you will find a map with the locations 42 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,100 ‫that you may want to select. 43 00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:38,850 ‫So here we accept the terms 44 00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:41,190 ‫and we can select some testing centers right here 45 00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:43,350 ‫for example, here in Portugal. 46 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:44,460 ‫But that's one option. 47 00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:46,410 ‫The other option is to do it online. 48 00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:50,100 ‫So let's go back to exam registration, 49 00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,140 ‫and then I'm going to schedule one, 50 00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:53,400 ‫this one for example, online. 51 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800 ‫So let's do it. 52 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,710 ‫I will do it online at my home or office. 53 00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:00,150 ‫And you have a few things to do. 54 00:02:00,150 --> 00:02:02,490 ‫So you need to run a system test 55 00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:05,010 ‫and I strongly, strongly encourage you to do this 56 00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:06,780 ‫to make sure your system is fine 57 00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:10,110 ‫because I've been into cases where my computer was not fine, 58 00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:12,210 ‫so it's something for you to do for sure. 59 00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:15,810 ‫Then there is some guidelines where your testing space. 60 00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:17,250 ‫You need your photo ID 61 00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:19,650 ‫and it's recommended to arrive 30 minutes early 62 00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:22,350 ‫to make sure you are set up just fine. 63 00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:24,270 ‫So once we click on online, 64 00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:25,710 ‫we can choose a language we want, 65 00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:27,543 ‫so English for me is fine. 66 00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:33,380 ‫We take all the conditions to accept the terms of service 67 00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:37,170 ‫and then click on agree. 68 00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:38,370 ‫Then we select the language again, 69 00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:39,783 ‫so English for the proctor, 70 00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:42,780 ‫your time zone if you wanted to. 71 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,840 ‫Finally you can find a date 72 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,020 ‫and a time, so I can choose for example 73 00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:54,020 ‫tomorrow at this time, perfect, book this appointment. 74 00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:58,590 ‫And next I'm ready to just pay for my exam 75 00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:00,510 ‫and proceed to checkout. 76 00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:02,310 ‫Also, before you book your exam 77 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:04,500 ‫please, if you are a non-English speaker, 78 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,840 ‫you can request an exam accommodation that I show you 79 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,250 ‫in the next lectures 80 00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,250 ‫on how to get 30 minutes extra for your exam. 81 00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:14,940 ‫Finally, once your exam is actually scheduled, 82 00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:16,530 ‫the day of the exam itself, 83 00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:19,440 ‫you click on manage Pearson VUE exam 84 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,910 ‫and this is actually going to take you 85 00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:22,950 ‫into the Pearson VUE system, 86 00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:25,440 ‫and from there you will be able, in here, 87 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,970 ‫to see the scheduled exam. 88 00:03:26,970 --> 00:03:30,210 ‫You can click on it and access your exam from there. 89 00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:31,650 ‫Alright, that's it. 90 00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:33,660 ‫I wish you the best of luck for your exam 91 00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:35,610 ‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
