hi Lori, all questions are worth 1 point.

My training instructors have always started out each course (whether for fusion, PM, or admin courses) warning their students that purely taking the course or purely reading through the documentation is probably not going to enable you to pass the certification exam -- there is a component of real world experience. I believe the current rule of thumb for professional certs is 0-12 months, and for expert is 1-3 years. In terms of assessing your readiness, I would recommend you take the practice exam at speed. Keep in mind that the actual exam is timed, and if you can't confidently answer the requisite number of questions in the time allocated, then you're not ready.

I found the exam prep guides for many of the certifications to be fairly useful in that if I read through all the links and already are familiar with and understand the material, I am probably ready, whereas if this is the first time I'm seeing this material, I probably need to walk away with it and practice to gain familiarity before scheduling the exam. Hope this helps!

Amazing question, Monique! Some of the proctors have different rules as well. 

Hi Jared,

Yes, free certification exams should be offered again at Adobe Summit next year. We have not gotten official confirmation on this, but that is the plan. You will see announcements for this a couple months prior to Adobe Summit for official confirmation. 

Thanks,

Hi there! We currently have a couple expert-level courses, but nothing currently related to Workfront. We are working on a expert level roadmap, but don't have a timeline at the moment. 

Thank you for the feedback! I'll pass this on to the course development team.

Hi, having taken both trainings several times (the non paid and the instructor-led), I can confirm they are pretty similar to each other with more handholding on the instructor-led side.

Instructors for the sessions are pretty adamant as well, that taking their course will not (in and of itself) enable you to pass the Fusion cert.

If you are struggling with the non paid training, I can recommend you post questions in the Fusion community to get the answer. However, Fusion more than any of the others, does rely on your practice in a Fusion environment. Reading the exam prep guide will also be a huge help.

I think you should view the practice exam as being a very general example of some of the types of questions that might be asked in the certification (and the way they might be asked) and not necessarily indicative of all areas. Most useful would be reading through the "exam prep guides" which are available under the "Study for exam" tabs of most certifications.

Taking the practice exam will help - this is a very general example of some of the types of questions that might be asked in the certification (and the way they might be asked) BUT not necessarily indicative of all areas. Most useful would be reading through the "exam prep guides" which are available under the "Study for exam" tabs of most certifications -- this would help you discover where in the documentation that the majority of the questions might be coming from.
