Hi Pietro! Unlike prior certification exam betas, only folks who hold the InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist certification are eligible. There is no application process, rather, the certification team will be reaching out directly to eligible individuals on May 19th. Anyone who holds an active SQL Specialist certification will receive an email next Monday with instructions on how to access and take the beta exam. The email will be sent to the address associated with your account on Credly, our digital badging platform.

If you do not yet have the SQL Specialist certification, I encourage you to consider taking the InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist certification exam. Once you pass this exam and obtain the certification, you will receive an email from the certification team regarding the beta. 

Please let me know if I can clarify anything! 

Hi Rich! Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, the beta period closed on April 29th. If you're still interested in taking the exam, the exam will be officially released around the second week of May, once the passing score has been finalized.

Hi Kash, 

The IRIS Developer Professional exam is currently in beta testing and is expected to be officially released on May 15th. 

This new exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam. If you take and pass the Core exam before its retirement on May 15th, your certification will remain valid for 5 years regardless of the release of the new exam. For example, if you pass the Core exam in April 2025, your certification will be valid through April 2030.
