Course Description
Description
This official Amazon Web Services (AWS) Architecting & Advanced Architecting Boot Camp combines Architecting on AWS and Advanced Architecting on AWS into a comprehensive, hands-on AWS cloud architecture training program designed for IT professionals who want to develop advanced skills in designing, deploying, and optimizing AWS cloud solutions. Participants learn how to architect secure, scalable, resilient, highly available, and cost-effective AWS environments ranging from smaller cloud deployments to complex enterprise-level architectures.
Beginning with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, this intensive AWS training explores essential AWS services and architectural concepts, including compute, storage, databases, networking, security, monitoring, automation, migration, containers, serverless architecture, and cost optimization. Students work through real-world architectural scenarios and learn how to design highly available and fault-tolerant AWS solutions, implement hybrid and multi-account architectures, build decoupled applications, leverage serverless technologies, and optimize AWS environments for performance, security, reliability, and cost. This AWS Architecting Boot Camp is ideal for cloud architects, solutions architects, systems administrators, engineers, and experienced IT professionals seeking advanced AWS certification training and cloud architecture skills.
Prerequisites
We recommend that attendees of this course have the following prerequisites:
Working knowledge of distributed systems
Familiarity with general networking concepts
Working knowledge of multi-tier architectures
Familiarity with cloud computing concepts
Our Facilities
CAREER CAMPS FACILITIES
CAMPUS – Career Camps built out a stand alone training center (not a hotel conference room) with spacious classrooms, new desk, Herman Miller Aeron chairs & comfortable common areas. Each student has a dedicated desk with two monitors. Each classroom has a maximum of two rows – so everyone is able to be engaged without the “back row” feeling.
CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT – Students work on a dedicated Dell Client Desktop with 32GB memory with 512GB SSD drives – All Labs are executed the extremely fast Microsoft Data Center Hosted Lab Environment.
CAMPUS INTERNET – The campus is connected with a 1Gbps (1,000 Mbps) Verizon Fios Business Connection which provides complete internet (including VPN) access for students.
COMMON AREA – Amenities including snacks, drinks (Coffee, 100% juices, sodas, etc) all complimentary.
LODGING – We use the Hyatt Place Lakewood Ranch. This “upgraded” hotel offers extremely comfortable beds, great breakfast and very fast internet access.
NEAR BY AMENITIES – Many shops, restaurants and grocery options are available within walking distance. Additionally – the hotel provided scheduled shuttle services. Restaurants like Bone Fish Grill, Ruby Tuesday’s, Five Guys, Chipotle, Quiznos, Chili’s and over 20 additional choices in the immediate area. All of these options are offered in a pedestrian walking village.
Why Choose Us
CAREER CAMPS DIFFERENCE
Career Camps provides an in-depth hands on learning environment. Our instructors teach using demonstrations and explain concepts beyond the scope of the courseware. The best instructors are contracted from all across the US. These professionals are real world consultants who actually implement these technologies. Career Camps knows our clients work in the “real world” and it only makes sense to have an instructor with the experience in the real world.
Facilities – Many of our competitors over-crowd classrooms by placing 2 to 3 students per desk and 20+ students per instructor. Often these companies “extend” the life of very old equipment with slow performance on the software used today. Our average class size is 8 students. Our facilities have the best equipment with the most comfortable, focused environment for learning.
Instructors – Our CEO, Chester Flake holds one of the rarest Microsoft Certifications – the Microsoft Certified Learning Consultant (MCLC) Certification. This certification reflects a commitment to make sure our instructors are also actively engaged in real world consulting projects. Students expect a professional who can answer questions and demonstrate the technology.
Face to Face Training – We believe the best way to interact and learn is face to face training. Many of our competitors which offer local training are simply providing students with headphones/mic to attend class with an instructor at a remote location.
Test Pass – We offer a free retake voucher (if needed) for each of the exams required for certification. Any training center offering a “100% pass guarantee” would have to use unethical practices or unlimited test vouchers (which is not likely or practical).
Distractions – Students often look for a “local” training center so they can be close to home and work. Boot camp requires a tremendous time commitment during the program. Long class hours combined with self study each evening. The goal of boot camp is to achieve certification in a fraction of the time. We strongly recommend students attend camp away from home and work in a focused, distraction free environment.
Boot Camp – Boot camp is an accelerated training focused on teaching technology and testing students on the official exams. Most training providers “added” boot camps to the existing standard training classes they offer. These training centers think a boot camp is just a regular class where you send the student home with a voucher on the last day. Career Camps administers exams throughout the camp. Equally important – not every trainer can teach a boot camp and not all courseware is designed for boot camp format. Our trainers know the boot camp format and our courseware is designed for accelerated learning.
Florida – Career Camps has one of the most scenic locations boasting some of the best weather in US. We believe students should have a comfortable and inviting atmosphere while attending these otherwise intense programs. We place our location, facilities and amenities up against that any competitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AWS Solutions Architect Associate & Professional Boot Camp?
This intensive AWS certification boot camp combines training for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) and AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02) exams. The course progresses from core AWS architecture concepts to advanced enterprise-level cloud architecture, helping experienced IT professionals develop the skills needed to design secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective AWS solutions.
What AWS certifications does this boot camp prepare me for?
The boot camp prepares students for two AWS certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) and AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02). Both certifications validate AWS architecture skills, with the Professional certification testing more advanced and complex architectural scenarios.
Do I need AWS experience before taking this boot camp?
Yes. This is an advanced AWS certification program, and participants should have a solid understanding of AWS Cloud services and architecture before attending. Familiarity with networking, security, databases, storage, compute, and cloud infrastructure is highly recommended.
Is this AWS Solutions Architect boot camp good for beginners?
This boot camp is best suited for IT professionals who already have AWS or cloud-computing experience. Individuals who are completely new to AWS may benefit from starting with AWS Cloud Practitioner or an Associate-level foundational AWS course before attempting the Professional-level certification.
Is the AWS Solutions Architect Professional exam difficult?
The SAP-C02 is an advanced AWS certification exam and is significantly more challenging than the Associate-level SAA-C03 exam. It emphasizes complex, scenario-based questions that require you to evaluate multiple AWS services and architectural approaches to determine the best solution for an enterprise environment.
