Looking to begin your career as a network and system administrator? With three courses, Blinn can prepare you to pass the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate exam and earn your certification.

Why earn it:

  • Validate in-demand cloud skills: As organizations increasingly move infrastructure and operations to the cloud, they need professionals who can manage those environments efficiently and securely. This certification proves you have the skills to deploy, manage, and operate workloads on the world’s most widely used cloud platform.
  • Enhance career opportunities: AWS dominates the global cloud computing market, and certified administrators are in high demand. This credential can qualify you for roles such as cloud administrator, systems administrator, DevOps engineer, or cloud operations specialist — often with higher salaries and greater advancement potential.
  • Demonstrate real-world expertise: The certification goes beyond theory to validate your ability to configure and manage virtual networks, monitor performance, automate deployments, secure environments, and optimize systems within AWS. Employers know that certified professionals can perform these critical tasks from day one.
  • Increase your professional credibility: Certification signals to employers, colleagues, and clients that you have the knowledge and experience to keep cloud infrastructure running reliably and securely. Many professionals report increased confidence and credibility after earning this credential.
  • Build a foundation for advanced AWS certifications: As a mid-level certification, SysOps Administrator – Associate is an excellent stepping stone to more advanced AWS credentials in the Professional and Specialty categories, including DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect, and Security certifications. These advanced certifications can further expand your expertise and leadership opportunities in cloud computing.

Here are the three courses that prepare you to pass your AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate exam and launch your career as a network administrator:
