I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this question to, but here goes.

I am presented with an opportunity to become a salaried FMP Developer of an organization but they require taking and passing the FMP Certification test.

I did not even know that this test existed before this requirement was presented to me, and whereas I think I would do well on it I hvae no idea as to what the content of the test is and if there are specific things I can study for to be prepared for it.

Does anyone know if there is a study guide available or can anyone provide insight as to the depth of the test and potential issues to be prepared for?

Any help and/or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve Freeman

Here's a link to a company that provides training for FMP 7. There are others out there: http://www.supportgroup.com/

and here is a link to where you can sign up for the test to get your FMP7 Developer certification: http://securereg3.prometric.com/

Hi Steve,

I remembered that this came up the other day, so I just did a search of the Forums using your keywords and found a couple of threads on this subject:

Search [color:"blue"] All Forums using these [color:"blue"] Keywords [color:"red"] +Certification +FileMaker +Test just as I typed them, with the plus sign, and [color:"blue"] remove the [color:"red"] "1" in the Weeks

Hi Steve,

That's funny. Are you sure you had selected "All Forums"? I just did the search again, and here are the hits from my Search.

Hi -

For the FM7 Certification it is based around there training course.

You can purchase the book on the FileMaker website at http://store.filemaker.com/r1.html#protraining for $99

If you do want a trainer to help you, you have a Professional Trainer in your area at FMPtraining http://www.fmptraining.com.

This by the way is the same trainer who we are giving away 4 days of training with in June. All we want in return is a review of the class. Check out the competition details at http://www.fmpug.com/fmptraining_offer.html

That book that Andy mentioned is well worth the price. It starts out with the very basics and gets pretty deep after only a few chapters. Even if you just read this book, you would be better off.

HI Lee,

I did the earch again and got the results you had mentioned. The mistake I had made was I had the box checked to look in the subject line AND the body. This retruned literlly hundreds of hits. Once I made that change I was fine. Sorry to be a pain. I should have seen that the first time around. Thanks for the tip there was some good info there.

A sample test or some sample questions would be the biggest help but apparently those are not available. I am curious how I would do without sudying, but I don't really want to throw $150 away just to find out my knowledge depth is entirely in the wrong areas!

Thanks again,

Steve
