Positioning
Product certificate, Professional Service CertificateIs a qualification certification for partners (agencies), whereasCore Product CertificationSeems to be used by users to prove their abilities.
Since the introduction of Smartsheet is progressing in the United States, when you get a job, etc.MOSIt is supposed to be used like (Microsoft Office Specialist).
In Japan, many foreign-affiliated companies use Smartsheet, so many people who find employment in such companies may be good at English, so it may be a good idea to try it. Hmm.
Below is the original post during the beta test

Creating and organizing information in sheets, creating and implementing automated workflows, creating formulas, and forms. You need to be able to build, create and deploy reports and dashboards. "

Exam practice
Word problem-style English is a little difficult
The problem is all in English, and for some people the English part may be tougher.
It was a word problem-like problem such as "Mr. XX has five projects related to product introduction, and the manager, Mr. △△, has given the authority of ✕✕.It's a little difficult for Mr. XX to keep in mind the relationships between the characters with names that Japanese people can't hear.
Same level as Product Certificatiton
As a levelProduct CertificationIt's the same as or the English part is a little difficult. The Product Certificate actually creates a project management sheet and answers based on the result, so it takes some time.
On the other hand, the 2022 Core Product Certification is a quiz format with XNUMX questions in XNUMX minutes, and passes a certain level or higher.My score was XNUMX points by mistake XNUMXPassed for the time beingwas. (It is unknown from what point it passed)
Monitor with camera and screen sharing
The Product Certificate had no time limit, and I was able to see the materials as needed, but this 2022 Core Product Certification is a recent remote exam at an American university. Similarly, you can move yourself with the camera and share the screen so that you can not cheat.
During the test, the message "Recording" was annoying, so when I tried to move it with the mouse, I was warned that "There was a suspicious movement!".
Reference document
For a list of materials for study,Exam contentAs, this is also in English, but it shows what kind of knowledge is required.I tried to go through it for the time being, but it was useful as it was because there were some things I did not know.
Summary
Since it is a core product test, premium apps and control centers are not covered.You can measure your understanding of basic content such as reports, forms, dashboards, functions, workflows, etc.
It's not free, it's in English, and I'm sure there aren't many people taking this niche exam in Japan, but for reference, I'll write it down before my memory fades.
If Smartsheet becomes more popular in Japan, it may be possible to prove that Smartsheet can be used and that it has English proficiency.
