On July 16th 2019 the day I took the NS0-002 exam which’s required for ALSO Schweiz to be completed for the NetApp Professional Service program.
The new NetApp Certified Technology Associate exam made me realize how enjoyable it was, enjoyable in a sense that you’re not fearful of a mistake. This exam has various questions that are well written and covered the whole NetApp portfolio, as well as some general questions about Hypervisors, Networking and Cloud.
If you have already done some NetApp exams in the past and you know about the NetApp Cloud Data Services and NetApp Kubernetes Service then you are all set.
In case you are not already NetApp Certified yet, this exam will be a pretty good start for you.
For those who are already NetApp Certified please keep in mind that this new exam is mandatory in FY20 for all NetApp Partners who are Professional Services Certified, which is the main reason why I took the exam.
How to prepare for an exam?
Preparing for an exam can be stressing and time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be.
Remember: You’ve got this!
- You should have a good understanding about the NetApp portfolio especially NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and NetApp Cloud Volumes Service.
- When you know a little bit about Kubernetes, this will also help you in the exam.
- The following link will help you to get some tips from NetApp University to prepare yourself for the NS0-002 exam: https://www.netapp.com/us/services-support/university/certification/ncsa-hc.aspx
