Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cloud Practitioner the right starting point for me?

Yes, if you are new to cloud computing. It requires no prior technical experience and gives you the vocabulary and understanding needed to pursue Associate-level certifications like Solutions Architect or Developer.

How long does it take to prepare for the CLF-C02 exam?

Most students are exam-ready in 4–6 weeks studying 1–2 hours per day. The course provides 60 hours of structured instruction plus practice exams to accelerate your preparation.

How many questions are on the CLF-C02 exam?

The exam has 65 questions (multiple choice and multiple response), lasts 90 minutes, and requires a passing score of 700 out of 1000.

Will the course cover AWS pricing and billing in detail?

Yes. Cloud Economics is a key exam domain. We cover the AWS Free Tier, on-demand vs reserved vs spot pricing, Savings Plans, Cost Explorer, Budgets, and Trusted Advisor cost recommendations.

Do I need to create an AWS account?

Yes, and we walk you through creating a free-tier account in the first session. Most labs are designed to run within the 12-month AWS Free Tier to minimise costs.

What support do students receive during the course?

You get access to live Q&A sessions with instructors, a moderated student community, and a dedicated doubt-clearance helpdesk with guaranteed 24-hour response times.
