Hello, today I want to share my experience preparing to become certified in the world of IBM, in this case Certified Advocate — Cloud v2 — Code: C9003700.

The first activity I did was to review the content necessary to achieve certification.

Purpose of Exam Objectives:

When an exam is being developed, the Subject-Matter Experts work together to define the role the certified individual will fill. They define all the tasks and knowledge that an individual would need to successfully perform this job role. This creates the foundation for the objectives and measurement criteria, which form the basis of the certification exam.

The Cloud Software Certification item writers use these objectives to develop the exam questions.

It is recommended that you review these objectives.

• Do you know how to complete the task in the objective?

• Do you know why that task needs to be done?

• Do you know what will happen if you do it incorrectly?

If you are not familiar with a task, then go through the objective and perform that task in your own environment. Read more information on the task. If there is an objective on a task there is about a 95% chance that you WILL see a question about it on the actual exam.

After reviewing the objectives in this guide and completing your own research, take the assessment exam. While the assessment exam does not indicate which specific questions were answered incorrectly, it does indicate overall performance by section. This is a good indicator of preparedness or if further preparation is warranted.

What’s the next step?

In my specific case, analyzing existing material on the Internet. I was referred to the official IBM course which is free content here, but that it refers to the aforementioned preparation guide, which covers all the necessary points to achieve the Certification.

Finally after 2 weeks studing I completed the course

When the path of study is complete you are ready to schedule the certification exam: here
