The exam: practice first, then theory

70 %

Practice in the simulator

4 tasks in the lab you trained in: systems to build from a brief, or to repair. Some come from the level's exercises with other data, most were written for the exam only and are never published.

During the exam you cannot run the simulation: you build or repair, then submit. After the exam our servers replay each system through its day of traffic and failures, and grade it against its objectives.

30 %

Theory

Questions on production situations and on the concepts of the level, drawn for you among the level's exercises and the certification's own bank.

You pass with 70 % overall and at least 60 % in practice: a certified engineer must make systems hold, not only know the answers.

What to master

Every concept below can be asked, and every exercise of the level becomes a scenario of the exam.
