AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) is Amazon's entry-level cloud certification. It validates foundational knowledge of AWS services, pricing, security, and the shared responsibility model — without requiring any hands-on technical experience. It is the natural starting point for anyone moving into cloud or AWS roles.
Official prerequisite
None
Recommended experience
6 months of AWS exposure (any role) helpful but not required
No cloud experience required. Basic IT literacy helps.
Should you skip this exam?
If you already use AWS regularly or hold any other AWS certification, skip CLF-C02 and go straight to SAA-C03 or the role-specific Associate.
Courseiva study tip
Focus on the pricing and billing domain — it catches most people off guard. Know the difference between S3 storage classes and the shared responsibility model cold.
UK salary range
£30,000–£50,000 (entry cloud/IT roles)
US salary range
$50,000–$80,000 (entry cloud/IT roles)
