To prepare for Test 996, 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 the test through the Tutor Approach (classroom, instructor led courses) or the Self-Study Approach. Sources within each approach collectively cover the skills measured on the test.
To prepare via the Tutor Approach, take the recommended courses [(WM100 or VM100) + (MQ052 or MQ054 or MQ057) + [(WM151 or VM151 or ZM151) OR (WM152 or VM152) OR (WM155 or VM155)] + MQ201] and refer to the remaining list of sources below. 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 remaining list of sources below.
(*) Notes: 1. The recommended educational resources listed are not intended to be a substitute for, but should complement, relevant practical experience. 2. 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. The resources provided are on an as is basis.
