Steps to Certification
Determine If You Qualify
This certification is open to the general public, but is designed with consultants and integrators in mind. To qualify, it is recommended, but not required, that you have at least two years of FME experience and have completed the FME Desktop Basic, FME Desktop Advanced, and FME Server Authoring courses or equivalent training.
Complete The Exam
Prior to submitting your application, you must fill out the FME Certification Exam. To pass the exam, you will need to achieve at least 75%. It is worth noting that some questions will be worth more than others. This exam is "open book" and has no time limit.
Submit Your Application
Once you’ve completed the exam and have a grade of 75% or higher, you are ready to submit your application. Before submitting your application, please review the sample documentation.
Your application must include:
- 2-3 workspaces from projects which conform to FME best practices as outlined in FME Desktop Basic Best Practice section. Your sample projects should demonstrate an advanced level of FME expertise. Any related files or information should be provided just as if you were delivering a solution to a client.
- Source data or output data is not required for your sample projects.
- Workspace documentation in a PDF, Word document, or Text file. Here is an example of workspace documentation
- References from 2 clients whose projects you’ve been involved with within the last two years.
- All parts of your application must be in English with the exception of your workspaces.
