Talend certification by example (English version)

Like I said in my last post, today I will explain to you the different types and topics of the questions that you can find when going through the Talend Open Studio for Data Integration certification exam.

/!\ please note that I'll not be sending any dumps /!\

1/ Questions types

There are two types of questions in the exam : 

• Questions with a single correct answer, 
• and questions with multiple correct answers.

The distinction between these two types of questions is easy. In the first case the answers are preceded by "radio buttons" (image below) :

In the other case the answers are preceded by "check boxes" (image below) :

2/ Questions topics

The Talend certification covers several topics, Let's see some of them:

2.1/ Menus

These are questions like: Where can we found the menu ...? Which view can do this ? How to display the following menu ? etc ... 

2.2/ Graphic elements

Questions like these: How do you recognize a "start" element? How do you recognize a component with a warning or a problem ? etc ...

 

2.3/ Business Models

These are simple questions but you must have worked with the "business models" at least two or three times to give good answers:

2.4/ Components

Some questions will be about the particular behavior of a specific component of Talend like "tUniqRow", "tReplicate", etc ...

2.5/ Relationships between job

How to bind a father job to a son job ? How to connect a sub-job to a job? How to transfer the context of the father to the son? etc ...

 

2.6/ Context variables

How to declare, initialize, etc.... Brief how to work with them.

2.7/ The tMap

Many questions about the tMap, which can be easily understandable. Of the 63 questions on the exam I passed, 12 questions were about tMap :

2.8/ JAVA functions

Some questions about Talend routines like "TalendString", "TalendDate" or "StringHandling".
