preparation for the Certification Exam which is available at the
end of the training.
2. Take the Diagnostic Test to determine your strengths and
weaknesses. This option is for people who have knowledge or

technologies. After completing the Diagnostic Test, sections of
this training are recommended for you to complete before
attempting to pass the Certification Exam.
3. Take the Training Bypass Exam to skip the training and take the
Certification Exam. This is for participants who have knowledge
