Questions About Certification Exams

Hi,
I want to take a certification exam, but I have some additional questions:

1) I am a little bit confused about entry requirements. Is it recommended or required to take part in Appian Application Design Training?

2) During registration I have found following statement: ,,Valid only on the current major Appian version (e.g., Appian 7.2).". I know that Appian 7.5 is comming soon, does it mean that if I take an exam before new release (on Appian 7.4) it won't be valid after release?

3) Will I get any learning material or is it only Exam?

Thanks,
Peter.

  • #Peter ,One thing to beware of ACAD2 , the time starts from the day you have paid the fee and make sure you have at least 2weeks 40 to 60 hours of time to spare for the exam, its not an project/exam you can do in a couple of weekends. ACAD1 is an online 90mins like any other Microsoft /ORCL/ or Java certs. There is no material like someone would expect a training book or online material pdf etc. Appian 7.x documentation is all you have. Appian Best Practices is something good to read and if you have done END to END two or three projects then you can surely get through. Set your environment before paying the fee, else you will waste time to setup the environment where you will be working the project. I guess,The exam will be evaluated on Appian Cloud, so I advice you do the project on MySQL as database. Good Luck. Appian Designer Training is highly recommended where you learn the best practices in designing the app. Making the app running some how is one thing (not recommended), but doing the RIGHT way is what is being evaluated and make you pass.
