1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,950 And now is the time 2 00:00:00,950 --> 00:00:03,010 to sign up for your certification. 3 00:00:03,010 --> 00:00:04,792 And for this, you go to this website, 4 00:00:04,792 --> 00:00:07,040 AWS training/certification, 5 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,700 and then you click on sign in. 6 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:10,470 You have to create an account for Amazon 7 00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:11,460 or sign in user accounts. 8 00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:13,780 But as you mentioned, it's not for AWS 9 00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:15,850 it is an Amazon account, so make sure you have one, 10 00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:18,530 but you can just create one it's fairly easy. 11 00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:20,950 After you're sign in you're redirected to the screen 12 00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:22,630 and then to get your certification, 13 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:25,030 you click on, go to your accounts. 14 00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:26,087 Okay, so I'm going to show you 15 00:00:26,087 --> 00:00:27,350 how to just schedule the exam, 16 00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:29,740 but first just know that in the next lecture, 17 00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:31,640 I go over the benefits tabs. 18 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,990 And this tab is that if you have already passed an exam 19 00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:38,800 in AWS, you can get 50% discount on your next exam. 20 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,890 So please make sure to watch the next lecture, 21 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:42,850 to see how to do this. 22 00:00:42,850 --> 00:00:45,710 Now, to set up an exam, you have two options. 23 00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:48,950 You can either use Pearson VUE or PSI. 24 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:52,450 And both have their own network of testing centers 25 00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:53,283 that are physical. 26 00:00:53,283 --> 00:00:55,160 So you need to go into a testing center, 27 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,020 so you can see if Pearson VUE or PSI is better. 28 00:00:58,020 --> 00:00:59,990 But one of them, Pearson VUE 29 00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:02,500 allows you to get your exam online, okay? 30 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:04,660 So someone is going to watch you on camera 31 00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:07,280 and actually make you pass your examination 32 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,860 directly from your home office, 33 00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:11,070 if you're alone in your room. 34 00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:12,750 So we are going to see both. 35 00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,900 So in case you want to schedule on your exam, 36 00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:17,610 you can just click on the schedule new exam. 37 00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:19,370 Now, there's a big note here that says 38 00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:22,340 that if you are requesting an exam accommodation, 39 00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:24,200 to get an extra 30 minutes on your test, 40 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,880 because you're not an English native, 41 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,480 then you can not schedule an exam with Pearson VUE online, 42 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,240 you have to call them on your phone. 43 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,520 So this is also something I show you in the next lecture, 44 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,320 how to request an exam accommodation. 45 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,600 So please make sure to watch the next lecture, 46 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,320 but also please make sure that if you do enable 47 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,270 to get an exam accommodation, 48 00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:43,860 you will need to schedule an exam 49 00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,560 with Pearson VUE via phone. 50 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,540 And Pearson VUE's as the only examination center 51 00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:50,670 that is allowing you to get on an exam. 52 00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:52,770 So that may be a problem for you. 53 00:01:52,770 --> 00:01:56,460 Okay, so now we can have a look at how to schedule an exam. 54 00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:58,030 So if you scroll down this page, 55 00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:01,380 you see the list of all the examinations available to you. 56 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:02,213 And for example, 57 00:02:02,213 --> 00:02:04,160 if you look at certified developer associates, 58 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,340 you can click here to schedule it with BSI. 59 00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:09,830 And then from this page, you can find your exam you want. 60 00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:13,090 So we said certified developer, which is right here, 61 00:02:13,090 --> 00:02:16,180 you would click on schedule exam, English. 62 00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:19,080 And then you can find a test location in your area 63 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,740 and finally get through the checkouts. 64 00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:25,740 So PSI is for your in-person onsite exam centers 65 00:02:25,930 --> 00:02:28,730 and due to COVID-19, it may be a problem for you 66 00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:30,150 to schedule an exam in person. 67 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:34,100 So the other alternative is to go with Pearson VUE. 68 00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:35,220 So for example, I'm gonna do 69 00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:37,500 solutions, architects, associates with Pearson VUE. 70 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,450 So I click here and I can go ahead 71 00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:42,010 and schedule it on their website. 72 00:02:42,010 --> 00:02:45,360 Now, Pearson VUE allows you to get both in-person 73 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,240 or at home for a test center. 74 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,073 So as you can see here, 75 00:02:48,073 --> 00:02:51,170 you can take at a local test center or at home or office. 76 00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:52,870 So this is in-person again, 77 00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:55,810 so exam centers may be closed due to COVID-19, 78 00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:58,510 but this is at home, which is a popular option. 79 00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:00,530 So then you click on run pre-check 80 00:03:00,530 --> 00:03:02,610 to you make sure that your computer is ready, 81 00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:05,040 then you click on next and you would be able to go ahead 82 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,620 with scheduling your exam. 83 00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:08,730 So fairly simple, you just have to accept 84 00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,250 just a bunch of clauses, 85 00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:13,220 choose your language for your exam. 86 00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:14,990 And then you would be able to select 87 00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:17,760 a time and a date for your exam. 88 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,920 Now, please note that this is going to be at home. 89 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,910 So if you schedule it and make sure to show up 90 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:23,650 maybe 30 minutes in advance, 91 00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:25,550 just to make sure your computer is ready, 92 00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:27,840 and to makes sure that you are ready to start your exam. 93 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,710 You would have to go directly into the Pearson VUE website 94 00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:32,610 to get your exams. 95 00:03:32,610 --> 00:03:34,960 So here I can schedule other exams, 96 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160 but I think I'll be good, one is enough. 97 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,270 Find your dates and find your time. 98 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:43,920 And then you're good to go to go ahead and pay. 99 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,120 And then when you are ready to take your exam, 100 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,110 you would go to upcoming exams 101 00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:50,690 and you click on manage Pearson VUE exam, 102 00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:53,210 and this would allow you to find where your exam is 103 00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:55,400 and to start it online. 104 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,920 You would see it here in this UI. 105 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,790 Okay, so that's it. 106 00:03:58,790 --> 00:03:59,930 I hope you liked this lecture 107 00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:01,880 and I will see you in the next lecture.
