Which Microcredentials are there?

From Amazon Web Services' pages, checked against them on Oct 26, 2026. Order: live and active first, then those with no stated entry rule, then entry level first. Who can take them: check the issuer's page, for every one. Amazon Web Services doesn't state the level for any of them.

Should you take it?
  • Suits AWS builders who would rather prove agentic AI skills in a hands-on assessment than answer multiple-choice questions.
  • Not for AWS beginners: the assessment drops you into a provisioned AWS environment rather than testing theory.
  • The catch: AWS doesn't publish a price for this assessment, so you can't tell yet whether it costs anything at all.
  • Take AWS Databases for Agentic AI Demonstrated instead if your agent work centers on data: it is a free, timed lab on Skill Builder.
