Hi May i know if you have cleared the first exam - Splunk Core Certified User though it is not mandatory, its advised to finish core user certification first. 1.What are the key topics covered in the Splunk Certified Power User exam? Are there specific areas (e.g., SPL, dashboards, or data models) that require extra focus? There is an exam study guide (this guide contains all splunk cert details )- https://www.splunk.com/en_us/resources/splunk-certification-exam-study-guide.html For Power user certification: In order to be prepared for the certification exam, Splunk recommends completing the following courses: ❏ Working with Time ❏ Statistical Processing ❏ Comparing Values ❏ Result Modification ❏ Correlation Analysis ❏ Creating Knowledge Objects ❏ Creating Field Extractions ❏ Data Models (pls check at the Splunk training portal.. many of these courses are available for free) https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-test-blueprint-power-user.pdf check this above blueprint.. will be helpful to you. 2.Besides Leads4Pass practice exams, what are the best resources for preparing for this certification? Are Splunk’s official training courses (like "Splunk Power User") necessary, or are there other effective study materials (e.g., free courses or community guides)? let me suggest - install a splunk locally on your laptop, play with some data onboarding, try to explore the topics listed above. that will be enough for the certification. on the splunk training, you can find Splunk fundamentals 1 and 2(classic / legacy courses, but still available). i think they are free courses, not sure, pls check it. these 2 courses will cover most of the requirements for the Power User Certification. 3.How challenging is the exam for someone with basic Splunk experience? Any tips for tackling complex search queries or time management during the test? there will not be any complex Search queries in this power user exam. work on the topics listed above and no need to worry much. (udemy or some training portals got mock exams.. may be try that one, that will give you good ideas) 4.How has this certification benefited your career? Is it particularly valued in specific industries like cybersecurity or IT operations? As you are aware, most IT jobs require the certifications and Splunk power user certification is mandatory for doing the upper certifications like Splunk Admin,.. so very valuable certification and it will help you to get jobs on CyberSecurity, SOC, IT ops, etc 5.Does the certification focus more on Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud, or both? Are there differences in preparation if I primarily work with Splunk Cloud? both actually. and dont worry about Splunk enterprise on-prim or cloud. both are actually same (in high level) 6.Is there a recertification process or expiration for the Power User certification? If so, what’s involved in maintaining it? After finishing this certification, if you complete the next certification(advanced power user), then no need of recertification / renewal process. as all Splunk certifications have a three-year life cycle(certificates will expiry after 3 years, then you should get recertified / renewal process) (pls double check this) maybe some details for you - Exam Details: Level: Entry Prerequisites: None Length: 60 minutes Format: 65 multiple choice questions Pricing: $130 USD per exam attempt Delivery: Exam is given by our testing partner Pearson VUE the language support,.. i am not sure. pls check with the Pearson VUE, thanks.
