Search the Academy
Martin SchoenmakersWhile we are working on the Certification Exams, we have a small update to share. Now you can search the Academy trainings for topics. Need to trace back what you learned on, let’s say, Tab bars? Visit the Search page from the main menu, type your query, and hit ENTER! Results will be shown by paragraph number and the result bandwidth is quite large. Beware though that you may not be able to visit the pages based on your training progress. Let us know what you think!
And back to building…
Martin SchoenmakersNo rest for the wicked. After the completion of the Senior training, we are back at building questions. This time the Medior quiz collection has been revamped. We have added over 50 new questions to 20 existing quizzes across the 6 Modules of the Medior Training. This will help you prepare for the test exam and is an excellent opportunity to revisit the completed training in your preparation for the big one. Ready to get certified?
Senior Training: we are live!
Martin SchoenmakersAfter fifteen months of work – building, checking, testing, processing, improving, sampling and reviewing – the Senior Training and with it the entire Academy training suite is now finally live! We are out for cake…
Medior Test Exam published
Praveen RaghulAll good things come in threes. With three trainings on board, we will have three Certification exams as well. In the past weeks, we filled the Junior and Medior question banks to the roof and that requires another taster in the Academy portal. The Medior Test Exam is a 15 question sampler of the level of the Medior exam. The new kid on the block is the “Use Case” question, which requires the candidate to implement a solution to a problem in a WEM exam application. Try it yourself in the Test Exam menu!
Senior training: new pastures
Martin SchoenmakersAnother milestone for the Academy. Today we published two brand new modules in the Senior Training: “Performance & Security”, and “Scripting the Browser”. Take a deep dive into a range of topics related to expression performance and project security, then venture out into a host of styling and scripting methods to make your WEM applications perform wonders in the front-end. These two modules cover a whole new range of knowledge that was never part of any previous WEM trainings. Get your scoop!
Junior Test Exam published
Praveen RaghulThe Junior Certification Exam is no walk over, as we found out. Last week, our launching candidates took the exam and confirmed that we deliver what we promised: a comprehensive testing of skills and knowledge. In all fairness, a couple of the questions needed some work, but they also discovered that preparation is paramount to passing our exams. So we decided to publish a taster for you. From today onwards, the Academy portal features a 30 question Junior Test Exam in order to prepare yourself for “the big one”. Locate it in the Academy main menu and try it out!
Senior Training: the Integration papers
Martin SchoenmakersTime for the king of the tribe: the Senior Training. We took a bit more time, but it yielded results. The Senior Training is the ultimate specialisation training, for modelers leaving no stone of the platform unturned. We rolled out the first three modules of the training, covering what we used to call the “Integration training”. Learn all about webservices – both sides! – and OData integrations, build Microsoft and Gmail apps for OData and SAML authentication, and explore the wonderful world of Comet Messaging for session interactions. Our Senior Training will connect you and your apps to the world.
Building questions…
Praveen Raghul… and more questions, and more questions. It is one thing to launch a new Academy Certification System but quite another to get it filled with the required content. So we are building questions now, a lot of them. To provide you with a good spread, we design different question types: single select, multi select, assertion & reason, and simple true/false statements. And open questions of course: compose your own unique answer for two points or five points, or even venture out into an exam application and solve a use case. Prepare, and you will get Certified!
Testinvite rolled in
Praveen RaghulThe first autumn leaves are blowing, the Academy is booming. What is a learning environment without certifications? After all, if you invest so much time in becoming a professional WEM modeler, why not have the proof to show it? We are proud to announce we have incorporated the Testinvite Certification Exam system into the Academy. This comprehensive system will allow us to conduct tailor made exams at all skill levels. More importantly, it will allow YOU to validate your skills and receive that prized WEM Academy Certificate, proving your worth to your employer and clients. Stay tuned for exam dates!
Medior Training published
Martin SchoenmakersBuoyed by the success of our Junior Training, we dug deep behind our desks and are now launching the Medior Training into the Academy. The Medior Training is a hands-on self-paced interactive online training in six modules. If the focus of the Junior Training was on learning the platform, the Medior Training takes a slightly different route and focuses on building a comprehensive application. Learn from the experience of our pros, design a robust data model, implement automated processes, create colourful chart dashboard, interact with external data sources, and deploy widgets. You will learn it all in a practical manner!
Junior Training published
Martin SchoenmakersThe first milestone! We are proud to announce the rollout of the brand new Junior Training into our Academy. A self-paced online interactive broad knowledge training, featuring static and animating visual materials, knowledge quizzes, and a certificate upon completion. Try your hand at our six comprehensive Junior modules presenting everything WEM, from Flowcharts to Templates, from Data Model to Widgets, and from Security to Expressions. The Junior Training is a real learning training, getting you up to speed with every nook and cranny of the WEM Modeler, and providing you with a solid base for your first WEM projects.
