What this is
SimuLearn is a simulation format: you take a business scenario and solve it in an environment resembling the AWS console rather than watching a video. On these two tracks the badge is free.
The other SimuLearn plans require a paid Skill Builder subscription, so read the catalogue carefully to see which track is free. This is not the paid AWS certification but the practice on the way to it.
