Smartsheet Certification

What’s ONE reason getting certified would be a great next step in your career?

It's no secret that I LOVE Smartsheet, i live and breathe in at work and in my personal life. I even use it for my budget, and alert my husband when I've changed our budget around haha. It's quite handy!

Getting certified would honestly be validation that I know what I am talking about with Smartsheet. Sometimes you get imposter syndrome, and this would just validate that I DO know Smarsheet!

It would be a personal career goal, that would elevate me as an employee. I've wanted to do it for so long, but having 2 littles in daycare makes it a challenge, financially.

I consider Smartsheet certifications to be badges of success. By highlighting successes earned, you show your (my) employer you are committed to growing and learning within your field and beyond. Pioneering to greatness!

I am ALWAYS trying to level up my Smartsheet knowledge. I have the core product and control center lead certifications, and project management is on my radar, but being a Smartsheet Certified Professional would absolutely up my game. I brand myself with Smartsheet in every way I can (go-to Smartsheet person at work, participate in the Smartsheet community as much as possible, HOARD Smartsheet swag), and this certification would be a flag I waved as often as I could!

Getting an additional Smartsheet certification would help formalize the strategic role I already play as a solutions leader in my organization.
I serve as a resource and problem-solver across multiple teams, and Smartsheet is the framework I rely on to drive clarity, consistency, and momentum.
Certification would:

Strengthen my voice in decision-making conversations
Position me to mentor others more formally in Smartsheet best practices
Help me scale my impact by empowering others to build their own solutions

I have been a fan of Smartsheet for several years and was pleased when my current employer approved for our organization to purchase Smartsheet. There are so many features and ongoing enhancements. I received my Core Certification several months ago and will be taking my System Administrator Certification later this year. I believe to get the full benefit from the solution and to be the knowledge expert to assist others, you need to learn all the features and how to use them. This knowledge and skillset will benefit me and my organization.

Getting certification would be mostly satisfying to me, to validate that I have learned so much and am capable. That confidence would help in my career.

The company I work for is getting more and more invested in Smartsheet. I am one of the go-to people at my location and earning this certification would help me become THE go-to person, making me indispensable🤣

I'm always looking for ways to grow with Smartsheet. Becoming a Smartsheet Certified Professional would take my skills to the next level. I proudly rep Smartsheet at work—building solutions, sharing tips and being the go-to person for anything Smartsheet-related. I stay active in the Community and genuinely enjoy helping others get the most out of the platform. As my company deepens its Smartsheet use, this certification would solidify my role as the go-to expert—making me even more valuable to my team.

Sarkis Hamalian

Getting certified would give me the confidence and validation to back up all the solutions I build in Smartsheet every day. I already use it across so many projects at our enterprise, and certification would help me keep growing while bringing even more value back to my team.

Also, thanks for these giveaways! You all rock!

Ok, I love that you use it for your budgeting and notifying your SO! I might have to steal that idea!

Our teams use Smartsheet across our org, but to be honest, I don't feel that most teams fully understand all the capabilities that Smartsheet offers, including myself.

The opportunity to not only learn more, but be a source of learning for other teams, would not only benefit our collaborative and cross team functions, but it would provide me a bit of leverage for boosting my position as I continue to grow in my role at the company.

Because budgets are tight, within the company and personally, winning this would be Chef's Kiss!

Rhonda Keller, SmartU

Love this @S_Wright4 ! Because you earned the Core Product certification, we've also issued you the Builder Certificate of Achievement which is required in order to earn the Professional Certification. We no longer offer Sys Admin. We eliminated the product feature-based certs in favor of value driven titles.

Rhonda Keller, SmartU

Yes! @JessiG helping you build skills that standout in the workforce is one of our primary objectives at SmartU!

Being certified shows a dedication to learning and a drive to put that learning into practice. For me, it’s about validating the skills I’ve built through talking to Smartsheet SMEs, reading, watching instructional videos, and hands-on experience; it shows I’m serious about using Smartsheet to drive smarter, more strategic outcomes. It’s a way to grow professionally, stay current, and demonstrate that I’m ready to lead with confidence in a fast-moving environment.

I manage a scientific research facility at an institution that is being targeted by the funding freezes happening across the nation. We are trying very hard to optimize our systems and have been using the smartsheet platform enthusiastically. I would love to have a certification so that I can utilize all the capabilities that smartsheet has to offer for our facility.

Justin V

For years, our teams struggled to find the right tools and resources to get work flowing smoothly. When I introduced Smartsheet, it was a total game changer! Project are running efficiently, momentum has picked up, and people are genuinely excited!

Getting certified would take my skills and understanding to the next level and will help me be an even stronger leader and Smartsheet champion in our business. My goal is to be the go-to Smartsheet subject matter expert in our business so that I can help lead and scale adoption and unlock the full potential of Smartsheet. I am eager for the opportunity to take this course to learn new skills so that I can lead confidently, mentor others, and help our teams succeed! 😊

Getting certified will help me to continue to deepen my skills and potential. I am a lifelong learner and my goal is to not only be a Smartsheet champion for our District, but to continue to spread the knowledge of how powerful the Smartsheet platform is to others in my field. I am always excited for the opportunity to grow as a leader, and I want to help others unlock their own potential! I would love to become a Smartsheet Certified Professional and look forward to any opportunity to do so.

What’s ONE reason getting certified would be a great next step in your career?

Smartsheet has empowered me to transform how construction projects are managed—automating dashboards and providing real-time visibility across 100+ projects. The Smartsheet Professional Certification would be proof of my ability to build and manage solutions, track project and portfolio health, optimize collaboration, interpret metrics, and handle complex processes. Earning this credential would strengthen my role in leading smarter, data-driven, and transformative project management across our organization.
