FileMaker Certification Preparation Complete Course

The FileMaker Certification Preparation course helps developers study for the FileMaker exam.

The FileMaker Certification Preparation course from Productive Computing University addresses all eight parts of the exam and is intended to help FileMaker developers study for and increase their chances of passing.

Passing the FileMaker Certification exam can be challenging for even the most experienced developers who use FileMaker day-to-day in their work. Taking the FileMaker Certification exam can seem daunting when looking through the study guide and recommended study materials. Passing the test requires a deep and thorough understanding of the entire FileMaker platform.

While we don't have any of the exam questions nor do we teach to the test, we extrapolate and expand on the information provided in the FileMaker 17 and 18 Certification Study Guides.

This 19+ hour course provides you with a well-rounded understanding of what to focus on for the FileMaker exam. We utilize visual aids, engaging examples, and memory techniques to help you retain and recall the information during the exam.

The FileMaker Certification Preparation course is divided into chapters that concisely cover the eight sections of the exam.

- Technical Specifications: review details for FileMaker Server, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Go, and FileMaker WebDirect

- Defining Database Schema: learn the types of FileMaker fields, options for auto-entry, validation, storage, indexing, relationship graph, and how to simplify complex relationships.
