To prepare for Test 000-376 it is first recommended that you are familiar with the job role description and the parameters this certification is based on, as well as have knowledge of the topics outlined in the test objectives/skills measured on the test. Compare your own technical level to the test objectives and the recommended training resources, and then determine for yourself how much preparation you require. Note that these educational sources are recommended, but not required (*) before taking a certification test.
Before preparing for the certification test, it is recommended that you measure your current level of skill by taking the Assessment Test (located from the Sample/Assessment test link above). After you have completed your test preparation/training, you can assess your improved level of skill and readiness for the certification test, by re-taking the Assessment Test.
You can prepare for Test 000-376 through the Tutor Approach (classroom, instructor led course, and other sources) or the Self-Study Approach. Sources within each approach collectively cover the skills measured on the test.
To prepare via the Tutor Approach, take courses [WM101 or VM101 or ZM101] + [(WM201 or VM201) OR (WM202 or VM202) OR (WM203 or VM203)] + [(WM501 or VM501 or ZM501) OR (WM502 or VM502) OR (WM503 or VM503)] + [WM300 or VM300] and refer to the sources with an * in front of them. Note that per this formula, you are required to take 4 courses.
To prepare via the Self-Study Approach, omit the courses, and refer to all other sources with and without the * in front.
(*) Notes:
- The recommended educational resources listed are not intended to be a substitute for, but should complement, relevant practical experience.
- Extensive product knowledge is required to pass the test.
- Every effort has been made to make the recommended educational resources as complete and as accurate as possible, but no warranty of fitness is implied.
