AWS Certified Developer Associate: DVA-C02 Certification Preparation Course

Invest in the AWS Certified Developer – Associate (DVA-C02) programme to ensure your organisation is building, deploying, and debugging cloud-native applications with industry-leading precision.

This associate-level certification equips your technical workforce—from backend developers to full-stack engineers—with a robust understanding of the AWS ecosystem, enabling them to write secure, scalable code and automate modern CI/CD workflows.

The programme is structured around the critical domains assessed in the DVA-C02 exam: 

  • Development with AWS Services : Employees learn to build applications using AWS service APIs, SDKs, and CLI, focusing on serverless logic with AWS Lambda and persistent data layers like Amazon DynamoDB.
  • Security : Technical teams master application authentication and authorisation through Amazon Cognito and IAM, while managing sensitive data with AWS KMS and Secrets Manager.
  • Deployment : Employees gain proficiency in packaging and deploying application artifacts using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS SAM and CloudFormation.
  • Troubleshooting and Optimisation : Your team will learn to identify and resolve issues using Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray, ensuring applications are performant and cost-effective.

By achieving this certification, your developers gain the credibility to validate their cloud-native expertise, accelerating your digital transformation and providing a perfect foundation for professional-level DevOps certifications.

  • Introduction to AWS Developer Tools and SDKs
  • Serverless Compute with AWS Lambda and API Gateway
  • Data Storage and Security (S3, DynamoDB, and RDS)
