Some Myths about tableau server certification exam preparation
Ideally for Tableau exams the best preparations comes with your role experience and your exposure to the product. As per Tableau guidelines, they are expecting the students to have at least 6 months experience. But as a matter of fact, we have seen people passing the tableau server certification exam with the help to correct preparation, focus and taking some practice exams.
One part that Tableau recommends is to take training for Desktop I: Fundamentals. It is a two-day virtual teacher-led training course that contains additional eLearning coursework needed to prepare for this exam.
Second part of the preparation is for Server Administration with a focus on Tableau Server installation and configuration. Tableau provides a foundational course specifically designed for Tableau Server administrators. Your preparation should cover areas like enterprise governance, scalability, Server and data security, performance, and exposure to handle Tableau deployment.
Details of above mentioned trainings can be further taken from the Tableau website.
