By Eleanor Snowflake

It is good for candidates to pass the SnowPro Core certification exam. Earning the SnowPro Core certification can help you prove that you have the ability and knowledge to apply core expertise in implementing and migrating to Snowflake. You can choose the best preparation materials from ITPrepare to prepare for the Snowflake SnowPro Core certification exam. However, you will find two pages at ITPrepare for SnowPro Core certification:

SnowPro Core SnowPro Core Certification Exam
COF-C01 SnowPro Core Certification Exam

What are the differences between the two exams? Actually, there is no huge difference, they are the same exams for the SnowPro Core certification. We have two pages because some candidates always search SnowPro Core as the keyword, but the COF-C01 is the correct code at Pearson VUE.
