Preparation 
The best way to prepare for the Professional Traditional Web Developer exam is to 
attend the A
​ dvanced Developer Boot Camp​ and / or to study the topics listed in the 
online resources​ section. The Advanced Developer Boot Camp helps prepare for the 
exam, but it does not cover all the topics. 

Related classroom boot camp 

The ​Advanced Developer Boot Camp​ includes one certification exam for no charge. 
Registering for the boot camp automatically registers you for an exam as well. The 
Professional exam can be taken once the boot camp is completed. If you do not have 
the required Associate exam, you may take an Associate exam instead.
