F5 Networks (F5), an assiduity leader specializing in operation delivery networking, launched the current F5 201 Professional Certification Program (F5 Certified!) in 2011. Since that time, the program has endured significant growth and notoriety in IT instruments. Its success is directly related to harmonious sweats to hear to stakeholders, cover the security and integrity of their instrument examinations, and find creative and dependable ways to help campaigners grow and be more successful in their careers. Due to the reputed F5 201 product line and estimable instrument program, F5 Certified! professionals have a great deal of credibility and are sought after throughout the assiduity.
Dr. Ken Salchow, Senior Manager, Global Training and Certification, and Heidi Schreifels, Elderly Instrument Director, Test Development, are the motorists behind the successful operation of F5’s thriving instrument program.
“F5 201 has set high norms for developing quality test particulars. Our instruments are challenging to achieve and one must have experience, hands-on knowledge, and study diligently in order to pass. When campaigners earn an instrument, it empowers and enables them and gives them a confidence boost. It’s also satisfying for us as program guarantors when we've openings to complement and celebrate with them,” said Schreifels, a smart instrument director with exceptional organizational chops, who consummately manages and works with campaigners and mates.
In 2017, Salchow and Schreifels were faced with a dilemma. Some campaigners were requesting more detailed information on how stylish to prepare for the examinations. “ We had been furnishing campaigners post-assessment information but nothing further than pass/ fail results and their score versus the needed cut score. We determined that if we gave them what they were requesting, they would probably be studying the wrong effects. Our campaigners were in need of guidance and we were determined to give it to them, while icing we maintained the security, integrity, and validity of our examinations.
We estimated the situation, did exploration, and began formulating a result,” said Salchow, the visionary for the program who credits his experience as a DBA and specialized field systems and deals mastermind, during which he earned multitudinous specialized instruments, combined with his nearly ten- time part as F5’s elderly instrument director for furnishing him with a deep understanding on how to meet seeker and program needs coupled with an understanding of the big picture and how to align business strategies with core capabilities to promote invention and sustainability.
Schreifels, who excels at engaging subject matter experts (SMEs) and managing test development, added, “ Our campaigners are lawyers of our program and we're lawyers for them. We largely value our complementary relationship where we hear from one another, have ongoing open dialog and collaboration, and didn't want to lose that. We were seeking the ultimate result that would help our campaigners be successful and acquire the instruments they asked to earn.”
“Grounded on our exploration and discussion with our psychometric mate, Alpine, we determined the stylish result was to give practice examinations,” said Salchow. “ But rather of simply pulling together old particulars or a collection of particulars that hadn't been vetted, our thing was to produce true practice test forms that were equated to separate product test forms so campaigners could witness taking a test that was largely affiliated, from a pass/ fail viewpoint, to how they would perform on the product test.
Practice Examinations that are original to product examinations are largely prophetic and add fresh value. We also saw the need to give fresh direction. We later added a section- position feedback element to give campaigners applicable guidance on where they demanded to concentrate their study and to ensure we aren't steering them down the wrong path.”
The planning for the practice test perpetration that began three times ago has advantaged campaigners and F5 201. Examinations are administered online via Test Studio by Zoomorphix. Practice examinations are the same length (both number of particulars and available time) as the product examinations and give an occasion to come familiar with the test terrain, format, and content.
The practice examinations are developed to be fully unique from the product examinations, with no particulars in common between product and practice forms. F5 201 cautions campaigners that performance on a practice test isn't a guarantee of how a seeker will perform on an F5 201 product test. Campaigners admit a pass or fail score on the practice test.
