AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Workshop

This workshop distills the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam into the critical 20 percent of concepts that drive 80 percent of success. In a single, intensive session, you will build the clarity, confidence, and practical understanding needed to approach both the exam and real-world AWS design challenges with precision.

Led by two AWS-certified experts, the session blends short, focused explanations with live builds, scenario walkthroughs, and applied reasoning exercises. You will not only grasp what AWS expects from a Solutions Architect but also learn how to think and decide like one.

No fluff. No endless slides. Only the core architecture patterns, trade-offs, and design decisions that AWS tests repeatedly, delivered in a focused, interactive, and hands-on format built for working engineers.

Who Is This Workshop For

This event is designed for professionals preparing to earn the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) credential. Whether you are building your foundation, sharpening your design instincts, or revising before test day, you’ll get the clarity and structure to approach the exam with confidence.

Who Should Attend

• Aspiring Cloud Architects moving from developer, DevOps, or SRE roles who want to understand AWS design patterns and pass the SAA-C03 on their first attempt.
• Developers and Backend Engineers who build on AWS and want to strengthen their architectural reasoning while preparing for certification.
• Sysadmins, Operations, and Platform Engineers who use AWS daily and are now ready to formalize their skills through the Solutions Architect Associate exam.
• Team Leads and Technical Leads overseeing AWS projects who want a certification-backed understanding of AWS architecture principles.
• Certified or near-ready candidates seeking a structured, hands-on revision to reinforce the services, patterns, and trade-offs that appear most often in exam scenarios.

What You Will Learn

• Map the SAA-C03 exam blueprint to real AWS decisions so you can focus on the services and patterns that actually appear on test day.
• Design resilient and cost-aware architectures by mastering the key trade-offs across compute, storage, database, and networking, and knowing when to choose EC2, ECS or Fargate, S3, EFS, or DynamoDB.
• Develop exam-ready insight into VPC design, including how subnets, routes, gateways, and endpoints affect availability, security, and cost in AWS exam scenarios.
• Secure and monitor workloads with confidence using IAM, KMS, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS Config, mastering the security and compliance practices AWS expects every architect to know.
• Build practical confidence through a guided hands-on lab that walks you through deploying a multi-AZ or serverless architecture and reinforces the patterns AWS tests most often.
• Apply exam reasoning under pressure by spotting keywords, eliminating distractors, and making architecture decisions with confidence.

After This Workshop, You Will Have

• A clear mental model of the entire SAA-C03 blueprint and how it maps to real AWS architectures.
• A reusable reference design for a highly available, multi-AZ workload that mirrors the architecture patterns and decision points AWS uses in scenario questions.
• Hands-on experience building and analyzing AWS environments so you can recognize the same configurations, trade-offs, and failure points that appear on the exam.
• Proven strategies for tackling scenario-based questions with speed, accuracy, and exam-day confidence.
• A two-week post-event study plan and curated resource bundle, plus 120-day access to the full workshop recordings.
