Step 1: Study

Take a class

The best way to prepare is to take a Flare introductory/intermediate class and/or an advanced class. The questions on the test are drawn directly from the course guides and class content. In class, you will also learn best practices for creating Flare projects, which will help you successfully pass the sample project requirements. Find a class now.

You do not have to take a class to take the test. However, it will make passing the certification program easier.

If it's been a while since you attended the Flare class, you can use your course guide to prepare for the class. You can also read the Flare help system and the guides listed in the Help menu.

The certification test is based on Flare 5. If you attended a class on a previous version or do not use Flare 5, you should review the list of new features on the MadCap website and download the trial version of Flare 5 to learn the new features.
