What I did to become a Cloud Digital Leader

I think I spent about two weeks studying

We would like you to set aside one hour every weekday before work and two hours on weekends

In my case, I sometimes study and sometimes don't, so I hope you will use this as a guideline only

It depends on the individual, but it is something that can be acquired with about 20 hours of study

Here is a summary of what I did to get the qualification

Solving Udemy exam prep questions

I mainly solved mock exam questions

Personally, I thought six sessions was too many, so I made sure I understood three sessions perfectly before taking the exam

There are thorough explanations, so I think it's enough to just understand the basics rather than solving a lot of problems

For reference, here is the actual question set I used
