Why Certivara

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

One place to learn the material, drill the weak spots, and rehearse the real exam.

Zero-to-certified learning paths

Every path starts from absolute zero. Plain-English lessons, real-world analogies, and no assumed knowledge — built for complete beginners.

Mock exams that feel real

65 questions, a 90-minute countdown, flag-for-review, and a scaled 100–1000 score report with per-domain breakdown — just like exam day.

Knowledge checks everywhere

Short quizzes after every lesson catch gaps immediately, with explanations for why each answer is right or wrong.

Progress that follows you

Lesson completion, quiz bests, and full exam history are saved in your browser. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Aligned to official exam guides

Modules mirror the official AWS exam domains and weightings, so your study time maps 1:1 to what is actually tested.

Free. No account. No limits.

Every lesson, every question, every mock exam — completely free with no sign-up wall between you and your certification.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Certivara really free?

Yes. Every lesson, knowledge check, practice question, and full-length mock exam is free. There is no account, no trial, and no locked content.

Which certification should I start with?

If you are new to cloud computing, start with AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — it builds the vocabulary everything else uses. If you are specifically interested in AI and already know a little AWS, jump straight into AI Practitioner (AIF-C01).

How realistic are the mock exams?

They mirror the real exam format: 65 questions, a 90-minute countdown, multiple-choice and multiple-response items, flag-for-review, a pre-submit review screen, and a scaled 100–1000 score report with per-domain performance — everything except the proctor.

Do I need an AWS account to study here?

No. Both foundational exams are conceptual, and our paths are self-contained. That said, a free-tier AWS account is a great companion for poking around the console while you learn.

Will you add more certifications?

Yes — Associate level is next (starting with Solutions Architect Associate), followed by Professional and Specialty certifications. The roadmap on this page shows the planned order.

Is my progress saved?

Your lesson progress, quiz bests, and exam attempt history are stored locally in your browser, so everything is waiting for you when you come back on the same device.
