CSA certifications
Major cloud computing providers provide certification paths for current and aspiring CSAs. They tend to update the exams for the certifications on an annual basis, so recertifying is very common to stay current with CSA certification credentials. Like collegiate degrees, learning can be online and self-paced or can happen in a classroom type of setting. This flexibility enables people with different learning styles and paces to be equally successful. Also, after successfully achieving a certification, a badge is earned and independently verified.
