Navigating the journey to Sitecore XM Cloud Certification
There’s a significant amount of excitement in the Sitecore community about the Sitecore XM Cloud Certification. Having recently received my certification, I would like to share my experience with the community. My hope is to assist those who are considering embarking on this journey but are feeling apprehensive about taking the first step.
Being new to XM Cloud, I began my learning using learning.sitecore.com portal by enrolling in the following courses :
- XM Cloud for .NET Headless Developers
- XM Cloud for JSS Headless Developers
- XM Cloud for Technical Users
- XM Cloud for Content Authors
Once I had a grasp of XM Cloud basics, I delved into the study guide Sitecore provided for XM Cloud certification. The Sitecore study guide is an excellent resource for the certification. I’m adding a screenshot here for reference.
Each competency is linked to relevant study materials please review each one in every section. Most crucial to take the practice test as it will help to measure your understanding and provide examples of questions types that you may encounter in the actual exam.
Last but not the least leveraging the power of the Sitecore community was also integral to my learning. I followed the blogs of community members who had already taken the exam. Their experiences greatly boosted my confidence and assured me that I was on the right track.
Here are some reference links for last-minute revisions before the exam.
Note : Most of the exam questions are quite straightforward, with just 4 to 5 trickier ones. If you have a strong understanding of the basics, the exam can be easily be passed.
I hope this post inspires those who may be hesitant to take the first step.
Happy learning and good luck for certification
