+## Certifications
+
+Here's a list of great certifications that you can do on AWS and Azure. We left out GCP here, because the adoption of AWS and Azure is a lot higher and that's why I recommend to start with one of these. The costs are usually for doing the certification tests. We also added the level and prerequisites to make it easier for you make the decision which one fits for you.
