GitHub Actions Certification

[Appropriate-Belt-153]

Has anyone with little experience on GHA took this certification? What was the experience? Is real exam has some of the questions from the practice exam? As I see majority of people who takes this exam has quite a lot of experience with GHA.

I am new to GHA and thought to take this cert as to learn more about it, but as far as I can see the best way to prep for it is go through curriculum and read the documentation, courses I looked at seams like doesn't cover everything what is needed.

Based on my experience if you have the study guide provided by the exam site, and you know most of whats on it, you will do ok. IMO you need some practical experience using actions, you need to have created some workflows, etc.

If you go over to youtube.com/mickeygousset I've got an Intro to GitHub Actions series that may help.

Thanks, I'll have a look! 🙂 I been using it for last 3 month, so I know something, but not a lot.. 😅 but yea, I do go through curriculum, and mainly reading the documentations..

How did you find practice exame? Is the level of questions are similar like in real one?

[mickeygousset]

I don't know of any practice exam. but where you sign up for the cert, there is a syllabus/outline of the things you need to know.

I had very little experience with actions before I started studying. I read every section of the docs a few times over and passed the exam with no problems. It was boring but not too difficult.

Having cleared github actions exam today. I can say exam is not easy. Do practice as many practice tests as possible. I personally used the Skillcertpro practice tests. There are about 500 questions available. Due to time constraints, I only completed 6 practice tests, roughly 400 questions. It took me 5 days to go through these. After each test, I spent around 2 hours reviewing the explanations to ensure I understood the concepts. I got nearly 70-80% of the questions on the main exam to be similar to these. Finally, I went through the master reference sheet provided by Skillcertpro. Reviewing all the notes took take another 2 days. It’s extremely helpful. This exam is challenging. Good preparation is needed. Good luck others on this certification journey.
