The exam
The certification is a 90-minute exam, which includes 50 questions. The exam is open book, open computer. You must score at least an 80 percent or better to be certified.
-
Take control of your environment
3M System Administrator programs prepare IT staff to perform troubleshooting, upgrades and system optimizations that fully capture best practices. The program incorporates the knowledge of highly trained 3M experts, such as technical engineers, support and escalations staff, as well as other 3M technical experts. Organizations can continue to optimize systems across outpatient and ambulatory facilities.
“The session format allows focus on specific topics to gain greater knowledge in those areas. I have been able to directly apply the information provided using the best practices and guidelines for performing updates, maintenance and troubleshooting our system. This has resulted in faster issue resolution with fewer unplanned downtimes and better system performance. This allows IT to stay to the “left of the curve” in supporting the application as we can address potential issues before they impact our users.“
- Monica Fogle, senior applications analyst at Wake Forest Baptist Health
