​​Just got a HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate to be sure that I don't miss anything important.

A quick recap of how I did it:
1. Saw HashiCorp Terraform Associate Certification Course - Pass the Exam! from a guy that learns TF just to be certified and make this course :) On x1.25-x2 speed
(Note: in 1st hour he describe comp. science theory in the worst possible way, confusing the use of terms and their meanings. So better google it, Wikipedia describes them better)
2. Test me by free test at exampro.co/terraform. (Feel free to use 10minutemail.com)
3. Click Register to the exam here, read all articles, add mail that is used as primary in Github to Credly, buy exam, cleanup workspace
4. Fight with PSI Security Browser for half-our before it became happy about working process on a laptop, number of monitors. Record video of the floor, table, whole room, myself... That's why you should start connecting 30 minutes before the exam start.
5. Pass the exam, get a badge on Credly, and email with a passing score.

About exam complexity, from youtube comments:
> Just a heads up, i watched this over 2 days (skipped most of the hands on), and I took the cert today and passed with a 93%. Everything on the test was in this video. I've used terraform maybe once before.

IMHO, that cert can be a plus for Intern/Junior position, but not above. Sadly, still no Professional exam for TF.
