A group of Northwest Vista College students recently completed the first AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification exam bootcamp and the results were promising.
The one-week bootcamp was held Oct 14 -18 and included 15 students from the Cloud BAT and Network and Cloud Architecture A.A.S degree programs.
On the final day of the bootcamp, 9 students took the final exam and earned a free voucher to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification exam. Of the 9 that passed the final exam and received a voucher, 78% passed the real certification exam and have earned their AWS official certifications.
Many students have reported they are not ready to take the vendor certification exams, but NVC’s week-long bootcamps focus on exam preparation, which has proven successful. NVC faculty prioritize in-demand IT certifications (like CompTIA Tech+, A+, Network+, Security+, and AWS Cloud) that most employers require before considering candidates for employment.
NVC’s new AWS Certified Cloud Practitioners are:
Matt Burch III
Cristina Esquivel
Isabella Esquivel
Christian Gutierrez
Dylan Hite
Nicolas Mendoza
Larry Navarro
From Dec. 2-6, there will be another AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner bootcamp and an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate bootcamp December 9-13.
