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.
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!
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.
