Do you need aws experience for big data speciality?

Question

Could someone tell me whether I need AWS experience for attempting for AWS certified Big Data-Speciality certification?

Answer 1

Yes, at least 2 years of experience in using AWS services is mandatory for attempting for the AWS certified Big Data-Speciality certification exam including minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in the data analytics field.

This certification is renamed on April 2020 from AWS certified Big Data-Speciality to AWS certified Data Analytics-Speciality.

But there aren’t any pre-requisites like getting a basic level certification like Cloud Practitioner certification, etc.

Want to join this exciting field? Then check out the AWS Big Data certification from Intellipaat which is 32hrs. instructor-led training that also includes 7 guided projects to get hands-on experience with a flexible schedule.
