go to post Celeste Canzano · May 12 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!
go to post Celeste Canzano · May 1 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.
go to post Celeste Canzano · Apr 17 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.
go to post Celeste Canzano · Mar 31 Hi Pietro! Thank you for your interest in the beta test! While there is no specific documentation corresponding to each exam topic, the online learning materials listed under "Recommended preparation" cover a good amount of the exam content. Additionally, we've included a set of practice questions above that closely mirror the format and content of the exam to help you prepare.
go to post Celeste Canzano · Mar 25 Hi Harshitha, I'm from the certification team! Adding on to what everyone has said, certification is considered separate from training. Certifications at their core are designed to be experience-based, so while taking a training course will certainly help strengthen your knowledge base and serve as good preparation material, it likely will not cover everything on the exam or in enough detail. If you are interested in getting certified, I recommend checking out our available exams. Each listed exam has a description of the target role, recommended practical experience, recommended preparation, and exam topics. Please feel free to contact certification@intersystems.com if you have any questions! We're more than happy to help!
