I studied for my second Cloud certification and took the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam (CLF-C01) exam last month. You can take the free AWS Cloud Practitioner online course using the new AWS Skill Builder portal.
There's a separate AWS CertMetrics portal where you can schedule for the exam, view your score report and download your PDF certificate and digital badge. I took the CLF-C01 online exam via Pearson OnVUE (due to COVID-19) and the cost is around $100 USD (as of this writing). You can check the AWS Certification FAQ for more info.
Below is how the AWS digital certificate (PDF) and badge looks like.
Before creating an AWS Free Tier account, you'll need a mobile phone and credit/debit card.
Go to Amazon AWS website > click Get Started for Free
Click Create a Free Account.
Type the email address (to be used for login) > type a password (twice to confirm) > type an AWS account name > click Continue.
A complex password with minimum of 8 characters is recommended.
Select the AWS Plan > fill up the Contact Information fields > select: I have read and agree to the terms of the AWS Customer Agreement > click Continue.
In this case I chose the Personal since this is for my own lab.
Fill up the Billing Information (Credit or Debit card number) > select your Billing address > click Verify and Continue.
Note that AWS will not charge for usage below the Free Tier limits and will temporarily hold a $1 USD/EUR for 3-5 days as verification.
Select Text message (SMS) or Voice call to confirm identity > select Country or region code > type mobile number > type the captcha code > select send SMS (default).
Type the SMS code received in your mobile phone > click Continue.
Select a support plan. In this case I chose Basic support - Free > click Complete sign up.
The AWS account registration is complete. Click Go to the AWS Management Console to get started.
Select your role and interest in AWS > click Submit.
Select Root user > type email address > click Next.
Type the captcha code > click Submit.
The AWS Management Console will open using the default region us-east-2 (Ohio, USA).
