Tableau desktop certified professional12/22/2023 You’ll be guided towards a packaged workbook file that has been prepared in advance for you to complete the various tasks, while the questions/instructions are all held in the Firefox browser and, unlike the multiple choice exams, in this case as you progress through you simply need to write ‘complete’ in a small text box at each stage.Īt the end of the three hours you’ll then need to save and close the packaged workbook, and submit it via an upload tool. You’ll be setup with a desktop canvas, a Firefox browser session, a copy of Tableau Desktop and a folder structure. The proctors are nice, efficient and know what they’re doing, but bear in mind that they have very little idea what Tableau is, so don’t bother asking any questions related to the software etc – you’re on your own from this point. Suffice to say that the experience is much different to that taken in the classroom setting, and just getting setup can easily take 15-20 minutes to run through all the questions the proctor might have, validate your identification, to run through connectivity checks and for them to set you up via a virtual machine to your session. I’ve now taken two Desktop exams online, as I also took the Specialist exam recently. I thoroughly recommend reading Simon’s write-up as I’ve deliberately written this to complement it rather than overlap too much. The materials I referred to most were the official exam guidance and Simon Beaumont’s blogpost about his experience. In the lead up to taking it I brushed up on the available resources but they were relatively thin on the ground. I took the Tableau Desktop Certified Professional (CP) exam in March 2019, online in contrast to the Associate exam which I took in an exam room at conference in 2017. This is the sequel, intended as a piece to read ahead of taking the Certified Professional exam for those who have signed up for it or are thinking of doing so. After I took the Qualified Associate (now Certified Associate) exam, I wrote a blogpost about it, which you can check out here.
