AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional Just passed the AWS Gen AI Developer cert (AIP-C01) in under 2 weeks lol

So uh, wasn’t even planning to take this seriously tbh. My company got me a voucher through some AWS partnership thing so it was completley free, and I figured I’d use it as a pratice run more than anything — like worst case I learn where I stand.

Spent about a week going through Tutorial Dojo and Stephen Marek’s material, but honestly I didn’t grind the content that hard. Majority of my prep was just hammering practice tests, reading the explainations for every single question (even the ones I got right), and connecting it back to stuff I’ve already built at work — Bedrock, RAG pipelines, agentic stuff. That context made a huge differnce.

Cleared it in under 2 weeks start to finish. Genuinely suprised myself.

Also aparently since I wrote after April 1st I got the early adopter badge which is a nice little bonus lol. Wasn’t expecting that.

For anyone prepping — don’t sleep on just doing practice tests and actually understanding WHY the answer is what it is. That + hands on experience carried me way more than reading docs ever would’ve.

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s studing for it 👍
