Can someone explain the grading of certificates with re:Post

Question

I am curious why Specialty certs are graded more than the Pro certs when setting up your profile?
Any documentation to explain the grading process?

Thanks

Answer

Certifications add the following scores

| Certification | Score |
| --- | --- |
| AWS Cloud Practitioner certification| +10 |
| AWS Associate Level certification | +20 |
| AWS DevOps Professional certification | +60 |
| AWS Professional Solutions Architect certification | +80 |
|AWS Specialty certification | +100|

In the section "Who should take this exam?" in professional certifications it says: two or more years of experience, in specialties says: five or more years of experience. Specialty certifications may be more difficult than professional certifications, but at the end of the day this will depend on each person's area of expertise.

Answer

To partly answer my own question I did find a basic explanation of how the points system works within the [re:Post FAQ](https://repost.aws/faq).

Certification	Score
AWS Cloud Practitioner certification	+10
AWS Associate Level certification	+20
AWS DevOps Professional certification	+60
AWS Professional Solutions Architect certification	+80
AWS Specialty certification	+100
