The occupational goal is to develop skills and certification as an Amazon Certified Cloud Practitioner.

(The Certified Solutions Architect Associate requires one year and the Professional certification requires two years performing the role of a Solutions Architect, which I interpret as employment, not student/academic performance. The CCP has no role requirements.
