NetSuite provides a handful of certifications for the different aspects of their software. These include both administrator and user certifications (see their complete list here). The most basic certification, however, is the SuiteFoundation certification. Let’s take a quick look at this certification—what it is, what you need to know to prepare for it, and how SuiteRep can support you in the process.
Why is this certification important?
What do you know about the NetSuite SuiteFoundation certification? In the NetSuite world, the SuiteFoundation certification is the most basic way that an individual can demonstrate proficiency in using NetSuite. Having this certification authenticates your grasp of NetSuite, opening up career opportunities that you wouldn’t have otherwise. Whether you are a NetSuite administrator, developer, or consultant (or some combination of all three!), if you have not yet taken the SuiteFoundation exam, then preparing for it is your next step in advancing your career with NetSuite.
What do you need to study?
So, how best to study for the SuiteFoundation certification? NetSuite has provided the following key resources for those planning to take this exam.
The Study Guide
First, NetSuite provides updated study guides for this exam. You can access the most recent one here. This guide details the essential qualifications of someone who pursues this certification, an overview of the subject areas the exam covers, and study suggestions for each of these specific areas.
The Sample Test
In addition to the study guide, NetSuite also provides access to a sample test, which you can find here. This test helps you understand how the material will be tested while also giving you a gauge for the difficulty level of the various questions. Though the questions on this test will not be on the actual SuiteFoundation exam, taking this test can help you pinpoint any gaps in your knowledge of NetSuite.
Recommended Training Courses
Finally, NetSuite has put together six recommended training courses that cover the areas you need to be proficient in for the exam. While the study guide and sample test are freely available, however, you (or your company) would need to purchase these training courses through Oracle. You can find the list of these recommended courses on the study guide.
