Hey @payel123, the Splunk Fundamentals course is a self-paced course. It took me about 1.5 full work days to go through all of the material, although I recommend taking more time and really reading through all of the documentation if your goal is to understand Splunk fundamentals. Throughout the course you'll have quizzes at the end of each section. You can retake the quizzes until you get all of the answers right. At the end of the course there is another quick test. As long as you pay attention to each section and take good notes you'll do well on this course exam. Note that the exam for this course is NOT the Splunk Certified User course. That exam is separate. You can see a long list of topics on the Fundamentals course page. Here's a link to the certification exam page if that's what you're interested in. certification page. It is recommended that you spend ample time understanding these topics if you do not have practical Splunk experience.

There were a lot of questions as there are many topics, so you should definitely review each topic before taking it. You can retake the certification exam three times, but a lengthy time period must pass between each attempt.

Course will close once it's completed. Passing score for the final test is 80%.
