Preparation for Certification Exams and overview of NI Badges

[Mark.K]

For more information on Badges to validate various HW and SW proficiencies, see ni.com/badging and be sure to come back to this page in June after NIWeek 2018 (ni.com/niweek)

Visit ni.com/training/certifications for info on preparing for various NI exams and the vale of certification.

As an example, here are some resources available in the preparation package for Certified LabVIEW Developer exam:

• Quarterly preparation webcasts, live with the Certification Development team
• A prep guide that covers topics and best practices to be aware of-- what to study or review.
• A number of sample exams and solutions that examinees can attempt in a time time trial and post to the Certification Discussion Forum for review and discussion in the community
• A success package that is a series of 17 step by step practical exercises that piece by piece builds the parts of a working solution, so that by the time you have completed the series you should have a good idea of what a good solution looks like.

You can find the CLD prep materials here: ni.com/cld-prep

Also, we conduct quarterly preparation webcasts...

Please contact your NI account manager if you're interested in pursuing certification and we hope to leverage this WPAFB user group to have 1 or 2 local opportunities per year to have exams (CLD, CLA) proctored locally.

As of this post we offer web-based proctoring of CLD and CLA exams. There are some specific browser requirements to support the remote desktop, and it's required to have a webcam operating during the 4-hour test. More info here...
