2022 Core Product certification question

TroyDunn

Does anyone know if this certification will still be offered in 2023? I want to take the exam but since it is almost at the end of 2022, I wanted to know if it will still be offered. Appreciate the help!

Hi @TroyDunn & @perthiessen

Although it's best practice to try and complete the certification in the associated calendar year, you still currently have time to complete the 2022 certification.

Here's information from the Smartsheet Certified FAQs:

How long do I have to take the exam once I’m registered?

You have until the certification is retired to take the exam. A new edition of the certification exam will be released every year. We will post a notice on the Exam Details page when an exam is close to retirement. 

Here's the Exam Details page for the 2022 Core Product Certification. There is no notice yet, so this certification is still active.

Cheers,

Hi @TroyDunn & @perthiessen

Just following-up with new information: the current 2022 Exam will be retired on February 14th, 2023, and the 2023 exam will be released in March.

Same question from my side. I purchased the exam on 29th of December, did not see anything regarding it not being available from January 1st, and did not manage to take it before New Years.

Would it be possible to transfer my purchase?

Thanks,

HI @TroyDunn did you ever re-take the exam? If so, how did it go?

TroyDunn

Hi @sherigo,

I did re-take the exam twice actually at the beginning of 2023 and finally passed.

@TroyDunn I'm studying for this now, and this sounds more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Any pointers?

TroyDunn

Nothing specific. It's been almost a year since I re-took the exam but I basically went through the study guide multiple times to make sure I understood the concepts really well.
