Archer Professional Exam Guide

Introduction
The Archer Professional examination is based on the critical job functions that an individual would typically be expected to perform with competence when providing Archer deployment and administrative services.

 

An Archer Professional is a person who works in a technical support, technical sales, professional services and/or other technical implementation role within Archer, within an Archer partner organization, or within an organization using Archer.

 

The major job functions expected of an Archer Professional typically consist of three major areas of job role responsibility:

  • Business logic and configuration of Archer to meet business needs
  • Understanding the basics of integration
  • Troubleshooting strategies to solve common issues

 

Candidate Background and Experience
An Archer Professional candidate should have completed the Archer Associate track and passed the Archer Associate exam. Candidates should also have an understanding of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) concepts, as well as be familiar with the Archer solution areas.

 

Examination Domains

The Archer Professional exam is comprised of three major Domains (subject areas). Each Domain is represented by a series of questions designed to evaluate competence and knowledge of elements relating to that domain. The following table describes the proportion of the examination that relates to each domain.

Examination Preparation

 

Product Training

Although Archer product training is not a strict requirement in preparation for the Archer Professional Examination, it is highly recommended. 

 

For full and detailed descriptions of Archer course offerings, visit: https://community.rsa.com/community/training/archer  Use the Level filter at the top of the page to narrow the course listing by desired certification exam level.

 

Product Experience
Many of the areas addressed by the Archer Professional exam will be familiar to the candidate who has worked with the Archer product. 

 

The Archer Professional exam content areas cover a wide range of product functions because an Archer Professional may be called upon to perform deployments, work closely with and educate system administrators and other personnel, and maintain the day-to-day operation of an Archer implementation.

 

Examination Details

 

Testing Centers, Locations, and Registration

The examination is administered by the Pearson VUE organization – an internationally known examination provider. Examination centers are located worldwide. Visit the Pearson VUE web site (www.pearsonvue.com/rsa/) and use the Test Center Locator to find a testing facility convenient to you.

 

You may also use the Pearson VUE site to create a personal login account and register for an exam. The Archer Associate exam code is 050-6201-ARCHERPRO01.

 

Exam Questions

The Archer Professional exam consists of 70 questions to be completed in 85 minutes. The exam consists of multiple-choice, multiple-response, or true/false type questions. The exam is computer-based and closed book – you may not utilize any printed material, personal computers, calculators, cell phones, etc. during the test.

 

The minimum passing score is 70%. Test results are calculated automatically at the conclusion of the test and testing center personnel can often provide you with an authorized copy of your results before you leave the testing center.

 

Exam Costs
The fee for taking the exam is US$ 150.00.

 

Language Availability
The Archer Professional exam is available in North American English.

 

What to expect at the Testing Center

You must present two forms of identification; one of which is a photo identification.

 

You will be required to electronically accept the terms of an RSA Certification Program Non-Disclosure Agreement before beginning the examination. You are given an additional 5 minutes above and beyond the examination time to read this agreement before accepting.

 

Re-taking the Exam
There is no limit on the number of times that you can re-take the certification exam. However, to maintain integrity and confidentiality of the test items, 14 days is the required elapsed time before retaking the test a third time. Please note that you must pay the full exam fee each time that you retake the
