Visual Fusion Developer Certification

The Visual Fusion Certification Program is a technical skill credentials program that identifies high quality, knowledgeable Visual Fusion Developers. As well as being a requirement for Business Partners to have on staff, Certification offers a great way to gain a competitive edge in your industries.

To earn Visual Fusion Developer Certification, you must demonstrate the ability to design and develop enterprise solutions using Visual Fusion. A certified developer will have proven understanding of Visual Fusion, from installation to build to deployment. IDV business partner companies are required to have at least one certified developer on staff.

PREREQUISITES

Before beginning the certification process, you should meet these prerequisites:

• Attend Visual Fusion training
• Know how to install, configure, and deploy Visual Fusion
• Have built a Visual Fusion application from the ground up, either for a client, or as a public-facing proof of concept
• Set up a sandbox that a proctor can access to review your demonstrations of skill

CERTIFICATION PROCESS

To begin the certification process, email IDV Solutions at support@idvsolutions.com to request a proctor. Your proctor will be an IDV senior developer who’s designed and developed production applications for IDV’s clients.

At first contact, your proctor will ask you for proof that you’ve met the prerequisites. Be ready to:

• Provide the dates of Visual Fusion training you attended.
• Take a verbal test on the installation, configuration, and deployment of Visual Fusion applications.
• Submit a URL for a Visual Fusion application you’ve built previously.

Your certification proctor may suggest more learning and practice on your part, or may approve your move to the next steps in the certification process:

1. Build your certification application to demonstrate your proficiency in the skills outlined in the Skills Curriculum below. When building this application, demonstrate your professionalism:
   1. Your proctor is your project manager – communicate your progress.
   2. Your proctor is your tech lead – consult about demonstrating the skills as necessary, but remember that developing the application is your job.
   3. Your proctor is your client – keep the client happy.
2. When your certification application is complete, send your proctor the URL and grant access to your configuration files and code.
3. Your proctor will schedule an interview for you to explain your application and how it demonstrates your skills. Then, your proctor evaluates your certification application, configuration files, and code, and schedules a meeting to review the results. Your proctor may require more work before signing off.

We suggest completing your certification application within one to two months.
