Start with the official HashiCorp Terraform Associate study guide and learn the core workflow using a personal sandbox. Build and destroy simple AWS, Azure, or GCP resources, then expand to modules, remote state, and HCP Terraform workspaces. Use practice exams, official exam review questions, and HashiCorp documentation. Hands-on lab repetition is essential to understand plan output and error messages.
