Regarding Hortonworks Certified Associate Certification Tips

[#1]

Hi Everyone,

I am planning for HCA - HORTONWORKS CERTIFIED ASSOCIATE Certification in somtime.

I have been referring to the exam objective as mentioned below -

examobjectives-hcassociate.pdf

I need some tips to make more solid foundation on my preparation for this exam.

Considering there is no sample test or question available , I am struggling to understand the depth , I need to go through for each topic.

Considering the exam broad defines itself into below categorties as mentioned in examobjectives-hcassociate.pdf

1. Data Access

2. Data Management

3. Data Governance and Workflow

4. Operations

5. Security

My query is whether we need to just focus on objective component - What each component does and How it does ? (first two sections) or whether we need to see and understand all the tutorials , blogs and go in depth.

Considering it being very vast and covering many Ecosystem component , understanding this will be really helpful.

Thanks,

Ankur

On this page [1], there is an Exam Objectives link that describes the objectives very well. Focus your study on the content of the Exam Objectives sheet and the linked web pages. Remember, this certification is based on a one day training (HDP OVERVIEW: APACHE HADOOP ESSENTIALS) that is meant as a general introduction to HDP for decision makers, managers, etc. This gives you an idea of the breadth and depth of the exam.

Secondly, become familiar with the requirements for actually taking the exam at https://www.examslocal.com/

See their web site for details. You will need to meet the minimum qualifications for web browser, web cam, web connectivity etc - and you will have to pan the camera around the test room so be prepared for that!
