credential exams process

Question

Hi, 
 
 I have some questions around Credential exams. How does it work ? 
 1. Can I take exam right away after payment ? 
 2. How would I take the exam ? Will I be assigned a Task in Appian Forum ? What is the validity of this task for Analyst and Designer Credentials ? 
 3. Are there any sample Questions available ? 4. Is it an online evaluation process that I can complete from anywhere with working Internet or I have to visit a designated Exam center ? 
 5. Will there be any Proctor ? Via Webcame / online. 
 6. Will there be anyone whom we can contact for any technical glitches ? 
 7. Can I take Analyst and designer credentials back to back or there should be some days interval between them ?

any particular topic / material except the video tutorial and documentation for Analyst and Designer credentials ?

Hi Praveen Nenawa , 
 
1. Can I take exam right away after payment ? 
 
>> Yes,once the payment is done you will get a exam task assigned to you and there will be a timer which will be displayed in the form of days just below the clock icon, so you can come to know about duration by having a look into this clock icon. 
 
2. How would I take the exam ? Will I be assigned a Task in Appian Forum ? What is the validity of this task for Analyst and Designer Credentials ? 
 
>> You will be assigned a task in the Appian Online Virtual Academy not in the Appian Community
